If your are able to move any time of
the year, don't wait until summer.
The summer months are the "peak" moving season.
Also, the first and last
days of the month are extra busy. Specify the exact date you
want to
move and when it will be convenient for an agent to visually
survey your
household and prepare an estimate.
Before the agent arrives, tour your
house from attic to basement. Decide what
to move and what to discard. Make sure you show the agent
everything that
is to be moved.
If you plan to do the packing yourself,
start collecting suitable containers
and packing materials.
Set goals and deadlines to ensure that
all packing is completed by moving
day.
Don't forget to notify the post office
that you'll be moving and what your
new address will be. A temporary forwarding address may be
necessary if
you don't have a permanent one by the time you move.
If you are being relocated at your company's
request, find out what
portion of our moving expenses the company will pay. If your
company
has a written moving policy, ask for a copy.
Dispose of flammables such as fireworks, cleaning fluids,
matches, and aerosol
cans. Drain fuel from your power mower and other machinery,
and discard
partly used cans of oil, paint, bleach or any substance that
may leak. Be sure
the water is emptied from your steam iron.-
Obtain a written appraisal of antique items to verify value.
Avoid waxing or oiling wooden antiques (and fine wood furniture)
before moving, because some
products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting
from funiture
pads.
Unplug all television sets 24 hours in advance of a move,
if possible, so that
they will be at room temperature on moving day. Moving a TV
set in which
heat is still retained could cause internal damage.
- Happy Moving!!!
