Moving Day 101

Be sure to disassemble the Cambrion Occasional Wall Bookcase (24″) and other such furniture prior to moving day.

Moving home incorporates many tasks. The closer you get to the moving day, the easier it could be to lose your momentum. This is a shocking truth for so many people, even the most organized ones. This is why you have to find an experienced professional moving company which can help ease the stress during this time.

Here are some things that you need to check out before the actual day –

Utility Company and Insurance Provider Notification

You need to inform your insurance provider as well as the utility company of the date when you’re supposed to be moving. This heads up is so they can discontinue the service that’s provided at your current address. You also need to inform them of your current address.

Read the meter right on the moving day. Pass this to the suppliers so that they will be able to send you your final bill.

Forward Post

You also need to inform the postal company regarding a mail redirection. Have your mails forwarded to the new address. If not, then arrange a day when you can pick up the post right from the postal office.

Plan

Most movers offer furniture disassembling. If you require this service, then be sure to mention it beforehand. Have this service included in your quote. The appliances must also be professionally disconnected. Such appliances include the driers and washers.

Proper disconnection will ascertain that no water leaks will result. The mover can make sure of this for you or they can hire a third party to finish this task.

Next, clean your home. Just because you have been busy packing in boxes doesn’t mean that you’ll just leave the house unclean. Also, cleaning prior to the moving day will help reduce the stress that you’d feel during the D-day.

Remove all wall-mounted things. Uninstall all drapery rods, paintings, and towel bars.

Don’t forget the keys. The moving day can get so demanding that you end up forgetting the keys that you’re supposed to leave for your buyers. And just as important as these keys, you also need to organize the boxes for your records and other important documents.

Don’t get lost during the moving day. Be sure to memorize the route and to plan how you would travel to that destination. As much as possible, use a route that does not have too many low bridges or sharp corners – remember your removal company that will use a large truck.

Be sure to organize the boxes according to the rooms wherein they will be unpacked. You can either color-coordinate or label the boxes. Organizing before the movers arrive is another good way of keeping unnecessary stress at bay.

Go through the boxes one more time before you tape them up. This is so you know that you’ve packed all the things that you need. Take note of the things that could break or spill.

Moving Day Checklist

Now, here’s a checklist that can make your moving day a lot simpler –

  • Organize a small packing kit that includes spare bags, magic marker, tape, and scissors. Include prescription medications such as aspirin, allergy meds, even your contact lens solution.
  • Pack some toilet paper and lots of paper towels.
  • Bring some toiletries for the first day such as shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, and deodorant. To make moving less awkward, you can also pack shower curtain, some hooks, and a small water filter.
  • Bring a utensil set for each individual. Include in your packing your pet’s food, bowl, bed, and leash.
  • Pack your phone, laptops, and their respective chargers.
  • Bring lots of snacks.
  • Bring more snacks (just in case the first pack won’t be enough).
