Moving is never an easy proposition, but it can be made harder if you don't plan in advance. There are several things you should do before, during and after your move to ensure things go as smoothly as possible. Here is a partial checklist of things you need to consider.
Have your moving help all set up
Whether you are relying on friends and family or hiring a full-service move, make sure everything is in place before moving day. Confirm the date and time with your mover if you have one. If you are relying on friends and family, send everyone an email or text a day or two before the move and ask them to confirm their participation.
Take care of utilities
No later than moving day, you need to make sure you have coordinated utilities, especially at your new home. You don't want to be unloading your stuff at your new residence only to find out that you have no electricity. You can always shut off your utilities at your old place at a later date, but not coordinating it ahead of time can make it easy to forget.
Make a checklist
Making a checklist of all your items will help you make sure everything gets moved from your old house to your new house and that nothing gets lost.
Label everything
To make things go more smoothly at your new home, it's important to thoroughly label all your items. Any unboxed items should receive a label telling the movers where they go. For boxes, label them with an identifier for both the content and where the box needs to go. That way the movers will place items where they need to go in your new home, which means you have less work to do when putting things away.
