10 best moving tips : Myapartmentfinder.ca
  • Have a plan! :Sometimes knowing where to start can be overwhelming. The first step is to lay out a game plan. Using a moving checklist can help you keep on track and you'll sleep better at night.
  • Make sure you have enough packing supplies : Before you buy boxes, tape, and packing material, estimate how many boxes you need on a room by room basis. Also, take a visual inventory of the actual size of the items you'll be packing. You might find you'll need smaller boxes for your fragile items or heavy books.
  • Look into hiring moving help : Extra help can be invaluable and there are lots of different options to fit all kinds of budgets. Self-service moves are where you pack your belongings, load them into a secure container and the moving service transports your container to your new address.
  • Set up appointments to disconnect your current utility providers : Also, find the best deals on hooking up TV, Internet, phone service for your new home. A lot of times service providers have special offers online for new customers. Do your research to make sure you find the right fit for you.
  • Keep valuable items like legal documents and sentimental items close: Forgetting where you packed something away is common. Make sure that items that are hard to replace like medications, insurance policies, car titles and the moving services contract are packed in a box that you move yourself or ship ahead of time with a service that requires a delivery signature.
  • Pick the exact day you want your mail to be delivered to your new home and notify important contacts in advance. Your Local Postal Service will allow you to change your address and even pick the exact day they start forwarding your mail. Banking institutions, credit card companies and membership clubs should be notified in advance.
  • Move only what you really need : It is hard to think about spring cleaning while you are in the midst of a move, but packing will unearth all those items you haven't used in months or years.
  • Pack your comfort items last. Creature comforts can be powerful stress relievers. Your current bedside reading, morning coffee mug or favorite TV show can help you still feel sane in the midst of chaos.
  • Transfer your checking account to your new city. This might be a good time to evaluate what service you use. Many banks offer free checking and can be set up easily online.
  • Home is where the heart is : Although all the packing, moving and cleaning can feel a bit overwhelming now, just envision yourself relaxing on your sofa or having a house-warming to show off your new home to your friends. Remember it is all for a good cause - so you can enjoy your new home!
