Moving Day Checklist: Take Care of These 4 Essential Tasks First

Published: April 01, 2022

There are a few things you should do to make your move as simple and painless as possible when the time comes. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Kansas City is here to assist with every aspect of your move. Use this checklist to ensure that your move goes smoothly.

Pack well in Advance

Begin packing ahead of time is one of the most important steps you can take. This will assist you in making sure that you have all of your items packed and ready to go when the truck arrives. Heavy things should be placed at the bottom of boxes, while fragile things should be put at the top.

Purchase Necessities

It’s crucial to have on hand such essentials as drapes and blinds, as well as kitchen equipment like a refrigerator, along with living room sofas! If something is out of stock, don’t wait until moving day to purchase bigger things; you might not be able to receive them in time.

Pets and Plants 

It’s critical to prepare your pets and plants. You’ll want to make sure your dogs have a secure location to stay while you’re moving, as well as that your plants are cared for by a friend or family member or transported with you.

Notify Utilities

Finally, alert all of your utility companies about the upcoming move. This includes both your cable and internet providers as well as your phone company. Notifying them ahead of time might help to prevent any service outage.

By following this checklist and by taking care of these items before moving, you can avoid any headaches or problems that may occur during the moving process. Check out the UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Kansas City blog for more useful tips.
