Packing Tips

2 Weeks before Moving Day

• Finalize arrangements with moving company. If your moving company is packing your belongings, arrange for packing to be done 1-2 days before the actual moving day.

4 Days before Moving Day

• Stop watering your plants to avoid spillage during the move.
• Confirm date and time of your move with moving company.

1 Day before Moving Day

• Take down curtains and curtain rods.
• Empty, defrost and clean your refrigerator. Make sure it has at least 24 hours to air dry.
• Clean and air your stove.
• Have moving company pack your belongings (or finish packing if you do your own packing).
• Plan your breakfast. Paper plates are fine. Eating something on the road is better.
• Pack your personal belongings except your alarm clock.
• Go to bed early to be ready for an early start on moving day.
• Pack a special box with other essentials you will need for the first few days (Make sure to mark this box "DO NOT MOVE").

Moving day

• Collect all keys to locking items. Put them in a safe place.
• Walk around with the crew chief.
• Keep your signed bill of lading in an easily accessible place.
• Make sure the driver has the correct delivery address and phone and cellular numbers.
• Before the moving crew leaves from your old location, take a final look through your old location to make certain nothing has been left behind. Check all closets and cabinets.
