Moving Checklist - One Month Prior

  • Make travel arrangements if moving long distance with airplane, hotel, and rental car agencies. If driving, get maps and directions.
  • Call Starving Students to book your move date. A Starving Students moving consultant will explain all the costs and details of your move.
  • If you don't have the original packaging, get estimates from professional crating companies to crate your plasma TV.
  • Start packing, beginning with things you use infrequently. As you pack, note items of special value that will need extra valuation coverage.
  • Fill out a change of address form at the post office to forward your mail. Or do it online at http://www.usps.gov/.
  • Give your one month notice to the apartment manager.
  • Get copies of medical records or forward them to your new providers, if you're moving out of the area. Ask for referrals.
  • Send drapes, rugs, clothing, quilts, and bedding to the cleaners.
  • Back up important computer files.
