Suggestions
for Your Move
Take
Notes
Make a note of your shipment registration number and keep it with
you in case you need to call your mover with questions about your
shipment.
Get the Bed Ready
Designate one drawer of a dresser for sheets and towels so
that you won't have to rummage through boxes for these essentials the
first night in your new home.
Don’t forget about the Fridge
After you've thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your
refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda or charcoal in
a sock or nylon stocking and place it inside to keep the interior
smelling fresh.
Keep the Phone Book
Take your current phone book with you. You may need to make
calls to residents or businesses back in your former hometown.
Pack Heavy – Pack Light
Pack heavy items in small boxes and lighter items in larger
boxes.
Give out your Number
Before the van foreman leaves for your destination residence,
give him a phone number where you can be reached. It is also a good idea
to provide him with an alternate contact in case you can't be reached.
Protect
Your Memories
If it’s irreplaceable, take it with you in the car (you don’t
want regrets later). But if you do decide to pack framed photos or art,
place sheets or blankets between them for added protection.
Know
how to Pack Plates and Records
Plates and record albums should be packed on end vertically,
rather than placed flat and stacked.
Remember
the Bare
Necessities
Toilet paper, telephone, toiletries, snacks, coffee (and pot),
soap, flashlight, screwdriver, pliers, can opener, paper plates, cups,
utensils, a couple of pans, and paper towels are some of the essentials
you may need upon arrival at your new home. Pack a box with these types
of items and ask your van foreman to load it last so that it will be
unloaded first.
Remove
Light Bulbs
Remove bulbs before packing your lamps.
Tag
your Items
For your garage sale, tag all items and be prepared to wheel and
deal. Garage sale gurus love to haggle.
Give
the Kids
an Exercise
Have children write their names and new address on the cartons
from their rooms so they can become familiar with their new street and
town.
Help
your Pet
Relax
Keep your pet calm and away from all the activity on moving day
by arranging for a friend to watch him at their house.
Be
Nice to
Your Plants
When moving plants to your new residence via your car, try not to
let foliage rest against the windows, as the leaves will scorch.
Take
a Break
from the
Computer
Upon arrival at your new home, let your computer
"acclimate" itself to room temperature before plugging it in.
Enjoy
the Help
Leave the rest to the professionals, sit back and relax, and look
forward to the new opportunities, friends and experiences that are part
of any move.
