Moving Checklist
Your Complete Moving Checklist for a Stress-Free Move
6-8 Weeks Before Moving Day: Start Planning
Begin preparing for your move early to reduce last-minute stress:
Sort and Declutter: Go through your belongings and decide what to keep, sell, donate, or discard.
Create a Moving Budget: Estimate costs for moving supplies, transportation, and any services you may need.
Research Moving Companies: Look into reputable moving companies, compare quotes, and read reviews.
Gather Important Documents: Collect personal, financial, and medical records, and keep them in a safe, accessible place.
4-6 Weeks Before Moving Day: Confirm Details and Start Packing
As moving day approaches, focus on securing logistics and getting organized:
Book Your Moving Company: Confirm your moving date and any special services you may need, like packing or junk removal.
Order Packing Supplies: Gather boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers for labeling.
Start Packing Non-Essential Items: Begin with items you don’t use daily, like seasonal clothing, books, and decorations.
Label Boxes by Room: Mark each box with its contents and the room it belongs in to make unpacking easier.
2-3 Weeks Before Moving Day: Notify Important Contacts
Update your information with essential contacts and service providers to avoid disruptions:
Change Your Address: Notify the post office, banks, insurance providers, and any subscriptions about your new address.
Transfer Utilities and Services: Arrange for utilities, internet, and cable to be transferred or set up at your new location.
Plan for Pets and Kids: Make arrangements for pet care and involve kids in the process to help them transition.

Pack an Essentials Bag: Prepare a bag with items you’ll need immediately, like toiletries, medications, chargers, and a change of clothes.
Confirm Moving Details: Contact your moving company to confirm the time and any special instructions.
Prepare Appliances and Electronics: Clean and defrost your refrigerator, and unplug and secure other appliances.
