Donate unwanted goods to charity, sell items online, or have a garage sale to help pay for your move.
Get The Word Out
Tell friends and family members that you're moving. Send them an e-mail with your new contact information.
Purchase Your Moving Supplies
This includes boxes, packing material, tape, labels, and box cutters. Remember to order specialty items like dish boxes, wardrobe boxes, and mattress bags.
Schedule What Your Packing
Make a Room by Room schedule of what your packing. If your moving major appliances, make sure they are cleaned, unplugged, and ready to go. Freezers need to be defrosted and you may need a professional to disconnect gas lines on particular appliances.
Valuables
Gather your valuables to transport separate from the moving truck. Make an inventory of high valued furniture by photographing or videotaping these belongings prior to the move to make sure nothing gets damaged.
