Prepare for moving - 6 to 10 weeks prior to move
If
you prepare for moving 6 to 10 weeks prior to moving day, you will be able
to take care of all the important details. Proper planning at this stage
will help you to make a stress-free move with your family. Make a moving
checklist to keep track of all the important actions you need to take
while relocating.
Find out
if your company will reimburse any of your moving expenses and plan your
move accordingly. Depending on your budget you can opt to make a full
service move, which is the most expensive option. A self service move
costs less, and driving a rented truck to the destination is the least
expensive option.
You need
to start looking for a reliable moving service, and to obtain moving
quotes in writing from at least three service providers. Make sure that
they are licensed and insured, and call up references to find out about
the quality of service provided. Dont select a service provider only on
the basis of a very low quote.

Separate
your possessions into the things you want to take with you, those you want
to sell, and those you want to donate. Buy quality moving supplies and
start packing non-essential items as soon as you can. Paste a label on
each moving box and mention the contents and the room where it is to be
placed on it.
It is
best to visit the city where you will be living, to look for a suitable
home and a school for your kids.
Make a
floor plan of your new home and mark the places where you want your
furniture to be placed. This will ensure that your furniture will be put
in the right places by the movers, and it will save you a lot of hard
work.
Make
flexible travel arrangements for the family, just in case there is a
change in the program at the last moment. Make arrangements to move your
car and pets.
Gather
all important documents and valuables and carry them with you when you
relocate. Collect all receipts for moving expenses and keep them safely.
