Moving & Checklist

Start your moving day off early by organizing your schedule and materials. Pack a separate bag with essentials like toiletries and important documents. Clearly label all your boxes for easy identification during unpacking. Stay hydrated and keep some snacks on hand for energy. Maintain communication with our team for a smooth and stress-free move. Have a list of important contacts ready, such as your moving company and utility providers. Remember to take short breaks to stay refreshed throughout the day.

As your moving day approaches, begin packing gradually to avoid last-minute pressure. Start with non-essential items and work your way to daily necessities. Confirm the moving details with us and create a checklist to stay organized. Arrange for childcare or pet care if needed. Ensure that important documents and valuables are safely secured.

In the final 24 hours before your move, review your packing progress and make sure all items are properly labeled and ready. Pack a separate bag with essentials like clothing, toiletries, and important documents. Defrost and clean your refrigerator, and dispose of any perishable items. Finalize any last-minute details and get a good night’s sleep to be prepared for the busy day ahead.
