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

Published: March 01, 2022

There are a few things you should do ahead of time to make the process as simple as possible when it’s time to move. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of San Antonio is here to assist with every aspect of your move. Use this checklist to ensure that your relocation runs smoothly.

Pack well in Advance

One of the most essential things to do is begin packing ahead of time. When the moving truck arrives, this will help you ensure that you have everything packed and ready to go. Heavy items should be placed at the bottom of boxes and delicate objects at the top.

Purchase Necessities

It’s important to stock up on essential items like curtains and blinds, as well as kitchen equipment like a refrigerator, and even living room sofas! If something is out of stock, don’t wait until moving day to order bigger things; you may not be able to get 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 San Antonio blog for more useful tips.
