Moving Checklist - A Few Days Before

  • Empty, clean, and defrost the refrigerator at least 24 hours before your move. Or get an ice chest to put perishable items from fridge.
  • We'll call to confirm the moving day and go over the arrival time, inventory, and other details about your move.
  • If you are not paying by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover), get a money order, a cashier's check, or cash to pay the movers.
  • Prepare detailed directions to your new home for the movers. Also write down your contact information (a cell phone number is ideal).
  • Ask the new occupants of your home or a neighbor to watch for mail after you move - and check in with them after two weeks, and again after a month.
  • Have utilities turned on at your new address a day before the move date (gas, electricity, water).
  • Drain and dry all water beds.
  • Pack a separate bag with blankets and pillows to make your bed.
  • Fill up gas in your car if you're driving.
