Do you have certain items you know you'll want us to unload first thing when we get to the house? If so, let us know and we can load them last into the truck to ensure it happens.
It's a good idea to pick a secure, central location to keep important documents and items during the move, such as car keys, plane tickets, papers for house closing, and medications.
Are you worried about how your young children will react to your move? To lessen their emotional distress, try putting off packing their toys and clothes as long as possible.
Finally, when you're done loading the moving van, and everything's ready to go to your new place, do a final walk through of your old home. Make sure to check cabinets, closets, the attic, and basement, to make sure nothing's been left behind.
It's important to coordinate your utilities and to change your address with the Post Office. You should notify your utility company, water, phone, cable, and DSL companies, and set up service at your new home, while you cancel those services at your old home.
Moving, spring cleaning, and renovating can generate a lot of unwanted stuff. Try to donate or sell as many of your usable items that are still in good condition to reduce waste and lower your junk removal cost. Try selling goods online and call local consignment shops to find ones that will pick up the donated used goods for free.
