Take Care of These 4 Essential Moving Day Tasks in San Diego

Published: May 01, 2022

There are a few things to take care of before you start moving. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of San Diego is here to assist with every aspect of your move. Use this checklist to make sure everything goes smoothly during your move.

Pack well in Advance

The first step is to get started ahead of time. This will allow you to finish packing and loading your possessions before the truck arrives. Heavy items should be placed at the bottom of boxes, while fragile things should be set at the top.

Purchase Necessities

It’s critical to get everything you’ll need, such as drapes and blinds, as well as kitchen items like a refrigerator and even living room sofas! If an item is out of stock, don’t wait until moving day to order more substantial things; you might not be able to receive them in time.

Pets and Plants 

Prepare your pets and plants as quickly as possible. You’ll want to make sure your dogs have a safe place to stay while you’re moving, as well as that your plants are cared for by a friend or family member.

Notify Utilities

Finally, notify your utility companies about the relocation. This includes not just your cable and internet providers, but also your phone company. Notifying them ahead of time may help to avoid any service outages.

You can avoid any headaches or difficulties that may arise during your move by following this checklist and addressing these concerns ahead of time. Check out the UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of San Diego blog for more useful tips.
