Moving, Packing, Storage Information

3 Weeks Before Moving

Contact your moving company about:

any change in move date
additional services required (unpacking, storage, piano moving, etc)
items added or removed from your planned shipment
items to be packed by them - schedule a packing day 1 or 2 days before your move
an itemized list of all moving costs (packing, loading, special charges, insurance, vehicles, etc.)

Collect all items that are being stored, repaired or cleaned (clothing, furs, shoes, drapes, lawnmower, etc.).

Some state laws prohibit the moving of house plants and moving companies take no responsibilty for them, even if you have packed them properly. Unless you are moving them personally, consider giving your plants to a charity or to friends.

Make your final reservation for a car pick up.

Arrange transportation for your pets. Make sure all health certificates and inoculations are up to date. Some states will require these documents.

Collect all valuable jewelry because you will need to carry these items with you.

Book the elevator at your new destination so it will be available for the day and time of your arrival.

Prepare any power tools, mowers, snow blowers, boats, or snowmobiles you won't be using before the move by servicing and draining gas and oil to prevent a moving van fire.
