Move Planning

1 Week Before the Move
 
  • Drain all items of gas and oil such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, snowmobiles, etc. If you don't, the mover will not be able to move these items.
  • Drain all hoses and prepare for transport.
  • Prepare your plants for moving or give them away if the mover will not transport. See MOVING WITH PLANTS.
  • Ensure your moving company and driver know all of the contact numbers where you may be reached as you are traveling to your new destination. Also, ensure you have the contact numbers for the moving company, driver and destination agent.
  • Your freezer/refrigerator should be defrosted, cleaned and dried 1-2 days before the move.
  • You may want to prepare a "LOAD LAST CARTONS". This includes items needed on the move day such as medicine cabinet contents (carry prescription medicines with you), toiletries, towels, disposable plates and utensils, basic cooking utensils, coffee maker and supplies, snack food, cleaning supplies, light bulbs, extension cords, garbage bags, bedding, games for the children, pet food, etc.
  • Confirm any baby-sitting arrangements.
  • Ensure any outstanding bills for your old residence have been paid.
  • Remove any fixtures you are taking with you.
  • Empty any safe deposit boxes and arrange to bring the contents with you rather than having the mover pack and transport the items.
  • Ensure all items not to be transported by the mover are put in a separate area and clearly marked "NOT FOR TRANSPORT".
