Here is a list that we have created to make the process of moving a little bit easier:

Build a checklist: Building up a checklist of various items that you need to forward to a new address can be extremely important. With a list of everything it needs to be transferred over, from your utilities to your magazine subscriptions can help you to go through and step by step change everything.

Be sure to change your license: You need to make sure to change over your license address to ensure that your insurance and your driving coverage suits your new address. You should also check to make sure that you are legal to drive in the country that you are moving to.

Set up mail forwarding: working with your local post office can make sure that any of the items you potentially miss will be transferred over through the post office. By filling out a mail forwarding form you can make sure any mail that goes to your old address will be sent or forwarded to your new address.

Focus on the large tasks first: think about transferring over your driving license, utilities and more. Change your return address stamp, pet identification tags, stationary or luggage tags as the next step. Consider any other printed material as something to do at a more leisurely place after you handle the basics.

  1. Weigh boxes accordingly: Place the heaviest items in the bottom of boxes so that they can stabilize the box for transport. Putting heavy items in the top of the box will often cause tipping and damages as well as difficulty with transport to and from the truck.
  2. Seal all boxes: be sure to seal up all boxes to ensure that they remain closed and your items don’t end up lost. Boxes should often be sealed with packing tape instead of duct tape or masking tape. Packing tape provides a stronghold and is fairly simple to open on your arrival for unpacking.
  3. Don’t skimp on packing supplies: We can provide you with boxes and packing supplies for your move. Buying inexpensive boxes or simply finding reclaimed boxes and repairing them can lead to damages. Always use high-quality packing supplies to protect your valuables and be sure to wrap glassware, figurines and mirrors appropriately.
  4. Plan ahead: If you are going to be packing for your move be sure to pack 6 to 8 weeks ahead so that you can get rid of various items in your home as well as pack up some of the items that you don’t normally use to save time later.
  5. Create an inventory: Our packing experts can keep you organized with the help of inventories on all of your boxes. Creating your own inventory for the contents in each box is important for unpacking and finding all of your valuables.
