When it comes to relocating your home or business, preparation and the right mindset make all the difference. We’ve already shared with you our list of Moving Do NOTS. At All-Star Moving, we have many best practices to share, so you know exactly what to do, how to stay ahead of issues, and how to be ready for moving day.
Get Organized Early
Start by using a binder or digital folder for all your moving documents, including estimates, inventory lists, change-of-address confirmations, etc. This moving checklist helps you keep everything in one place. While you’re at it, begin sorting and purging items room by room. The less you have to move, the smoother things will go.
Order the Right Supplies & Label Everything
Make sure you have all the materials you’ll need: boxes, wardrobe containers, tape, markers, and padding. Label each box with its contents and the room it’s headed to. On moving day, the crew will appreciate clear labels like “Master Bedroom – Books” or “Kitchen – Utensils.” Too overwhelmed to pack and label everything you own? We have a packing service too!
Choose your Mover & Confirm the Details
Don’t wait until the last minute. Pick your moving company early and get written confirmation of dates, costs, and services. All-Star Moving recommends this to ensure you get your preferred timeline and aren’t stuck with surprises.
Prepare in the Final Days
In the week prior to your move: pack suitcases for a few days of essentials, arrange child- or pet-care if needed, defrost your freezer if you’re moving your refrigerator, and double-check contact info and addresses. Those last-minute confirmations keep moving day from getting chaotic.
Stay Engaged & Relaxed on Moving Day
When the moving team arrives, verify that it’s the company you hired. Be prepared with a layout of furniture for each room as items go into your new home. Stay focused on the process, take appropriate breaks, and check for any damage before the crew leaves. A little oversight ensures accuracy and peace of mind.
Let All-Star Moving Handle the Heavy Lifting
With our professionals at the helm, your job is simplified. You’ve organized, labeled, and confirmed. Now the team arrives, you oversee the process, and your belongings land in the right rooms ready for your unpacking to begin.
