Tips for a Hassle-Free Move

Check out our list of moving tips that will make your move easier.

• Since summer is peak moving season, consider scheduling your move at a different time, if you can be flexible about when you move. The first and last days of the month are usually extra busy so please specify the exact date you want to move and when it will be convenient for an agent to visually survey your household and prepare an estimate.
• Before the agent arrives, tour your house. Check every room in your home, from your attic to your basement and determine what needs to be moved and what needs to be discarded. Show your agent everything you will be moving.
• If you intend to do the packing yourself, collect suitable containers and packing materials so that you have everything you need to get the job done.
• Set packing goals and deadlines. Ensure all the packing is completed by moving day.
• Provide the post office with a forwarding address (temporary or permanent). Click here to notify the U.S. Postal Service of your move.
• If you are being relocated at your company's request, ask your company for a copy of your written moving policy to find out what portion of your moving expenses will be paid by them.
• Get rid of all flammables such as cleaning fluids, aerosol cans, fireworks, and matches. Drain the fuel from your power mower and other machinery. Discard partly used containers of any substance that may leak. Empty the water from your steam iron.
• Get a written appraisal of antique items to verify their value. Don't wax or oil wood furniture before moving, because some products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting from furniture pads.
• Moving a TV set or any other electronic equipment in which heat is still retained can cause internal damage to the equipment. Unplug all your electronic equipment such as television sets, home computers, stereos 24 hours in advance of a move so they will be at room temperature on moving day.
