Preparation for moving - 2 Weeks prior to move
Preparation for moving 2 weeks prior to move ought to include cleaning out
your basement, attic, and closets. Ask your mover for a list of items that
are not permitted, and discard hazardous materials like ammunition,
fireworks, aerosol cans, acid, and matches. Drain the fuel from your power
equipment, and get rid of propane tanks.
Make
a moving out checklist and refer to it frequently. Inform the moving
company if there are any changes in your schedule, and if you need any
additional services like packing and moving storage. Confirm arrangements
with auto movers and pet movers, if applicable.
If
you have not made bookings with a moving company, do it immediately.
Obtain moving quotes in writing from at least three movers and call up
references to make sure that they have a good track record. Check to see
if the service providers are licensed and insured.

make arrangements to cancel newspaper and other regular deliveries.

documents like bonds, deeds, wills, and insurance policies, and carry them
with you when you move.

are being shipped.
