IT'S YOUR MOVE

The key survival tactic to moving is getting an early start, especially if you are relocating. We have developed this organizational list so you will be relaxed and ready to go.
 

6 TO 8 WEEKS

• Contact a moving company and tell them the dates you plan to be moving. 

• Gather information on prescriptions. 

• Transfer, sell, or resign from clubs and associations. Arrange to transfer school records and secure transcripts from the local school district.

4 TO 6 WEEKS

• Make plans to cancel all utilities.

• Set a date to cancel the newspaper.

• Alert the post office that you will be moving.

2 TO 3 WEEKS

• Take your car in to have it checked for the upcoming road trip.

• Take pets to the veterinarian for necessary inoculations.

3 DAYS BEFORE

• Pack an "Instant Aid" box containing things you will need upon arrival: sponges, paper towels, powdered detergent, paper plates, toothpaste, light bulbs, hammer, trash bags, hand soap, and toilet paper.

MOVING DAY

• It is your responsibility to see that all your goods are loaded. Stay until loading is completed.

• Approve and sign the bill of lading. This is your receipt for the shipment.
