Keep moving pandemonium at a minimum by completing moving day tasks ahead of time. By doing so, you’ll be able to supervise the movers without worry or distraction. The following checklist will serve as a guideline of tasks to complete on moving day, delivery day and after arriving in your new home.
Moving Day Double check closets, drawers and shelves to make sure they are empty. Check rooms, attic, garage and yard to make sure nothing is left behind. Carry important documents, currency and jewelry yourself, or use registered mail. Note all utility meter readings. Read your bill of lading and inventory carefully (provided by the moving company) before signing. Keep paperwork in a safe place. Turn off the water heater and lower the thermostat. Get the name of the driver of the moving truck and give him your contact information. Review directions to the new house. Have the final payment for the movers and tip money.
Delivery Day Check your belongings carefully and note any damaged items on the inventory paperwork. Prepare to pay the driver before your possessions are unloaded via cash, a certified check, or travelers checks, unless other arrangements have been made in advance. Supervise the unloading and unpacking.
New Home Renew your driver’s license, auto registration and tags. Shop around for new insurance policies, especially auto coverage. Revise your will and other legal papers to avoid longer probate and higher legal fees. Locate the hospitals, police stations, veterinarian and fire stations near your home. Change the locks on all doors in your new home.
Use this checklist as a guideline for tasks to complete on your moving day, delivery day and after arriving in your new home.
