 Move Planning |
2 -4 Weeks Before the Move |
| |
- Speak to your bank regarding branches in your new
area and transfer your accounts.
- You may want to arrange for traveler checks.
- Make appropriate arrangements to pay the mover
upon delivery, i.e. certified checks or prepaid.
- Make a list of valuables to carry with you when
you move. Items could include medicine, stocks, bonds,
wills, legal papers, jewellery, special collections,
photos and videos (items that are difficult or
impossible to replace).
- Arrange to disconnect/reconnect service for
telephone, TV, electricity, gas or fuel supply, water,
etc. You will still want these services available on
your move day, therefore, it is best to arrange for
any disconnection to take place the following day. You
will also want these services on and ready when you
move into your new home. Also, check for any
applicable deposits/refunds.
- Make arrangements to give away any items your
mover is not able to transport. Items such as house
plants, flammable liquids, paints, BBQ tanks, etc.
- Complete your change of address notification for
postal service.
- Have your vehicle serviced if you are traveling by
car and plan the routes you will take to your new
destination.
- Use the contents of your freezer or give away if
the mover will not transport frozen foods.
- Look at the floor plans for your new residence and
mark each item with the appropriate room designation.
