For both home and apartment moves, going to other provinces or cities, a moving checklist will make a move go much more smoothly and it will get rid of the headaches that many people have later when they find they have forgotten important details. So much work is to be done, from packing everything you own, to choosing which mover, or to do it on your own, be sure to plan accordingly.
Something people forget is that in a high-rise dwelling, the moving elevator must be reserved ahead of time. A security deposit is often required.
Go through every room of your house and decide what you'd like to keep and what you can get rid of. Think about whether any items will require special packing or extra insurance coverage.
It's not easy, but getting rid of some things you may never need and clutter up your life is for the best. Books you've read and will never read again? Remember, extra weight costs more money.
If you have a lot of things worth selling, you may want to organize a garage sale. Keep a detailed file of everything involved in the moving process. It's a good idea to buy a brightly colored organizer folder with pockets; you'll be less likely to misplace it. Save the receipts that you get from costs that are involved from the move.
Your prescription and shot information should be organized, and also your medical and dental records should be compiled. The neighborhood you may be moving to could be too far for your current doctor, so they might refer you to one that is closer to where you will be living. School records must be transferred to the new school, so if you have children, be sure to have that information before you move.
Pick up some bubble wrap, tape, boxes, and markers to make your move easier. Wardrobe boxes are good to keep fine clothes safe, and dish barrels are a good idea to keep dishes safe, be sure to order them as well. Check out the different moving companies in your area. Don't just accept the first one you call; find the best deal by doing some comparisons.
The floor plan of your new home should be considered during this time. Know which room in your new place that your items will be going. Certain items will be needed as soon as you arrive, so be sure to label them so that you know just where these things will be once you get there; you can't do everything on the first day. Whenever possible, its a good idea to take measurements in the new home. This will help you to decide which of your belongings to bring with you and which to leave behind or sell.
Cable, gas, electricity, water, telephone, all of these utility companies need to be contacted so your services can be disconnected the day after you move out. You'll want to have utilities on while you're still in the house. Be sure to have functioning utilities when you get to your new home, so call the utility companies ahead of time to arrange this.
Make sure you go to your local post office and fill out a change-of-address form. And lastly, before the movers leave, sign the bill of lading/inventory list and keep a copy. Once all items are unloaded, unpack only what you need for the first day or two.
