Are you ready to move? Our moving checklist makes your move easier
With so much to think about, moving can get overwhelming. Use Al’s Moving and Storage moving checklist to keep everything in order!
Moving Checklist: Two months before your move
- Schedule an appointment with an Al’s Moving representative to visit your home for a FREE comprehensive move estimate. We will work with you to formulate a personalized move plan and provide an on the spot written cost estimate. This way you will know exactly what the cost will be.
One month before the move.
- Notify others that you are moving by completing a U.S. Post Office change of address form. Also, change your address with your bank, insurance company, credit card accounts, magazine subscriptions, etc.
- Notify doctors, attorneys and accountants and have them forward your personal records to new professional team members, if necessary.
- Confirm with your utilities when service should be disconnected.
- Review every room in your home to determine what will make the move with you—and what won’t. Consider having an estate sale or donating unwanted items to charity. Then start packing. Refer to our packing tips for help.
The day before moving day.
- Unplug your electrical appliances 24 hours prior to your move so they will be at room temperature when our movers arrive.
- Label the items or boxes you would like delivered first when our truck arrives at your new home.
Moving day.
- Be on hand to ensure that all of your items and boxes are loaded onto our truck. Once done, make a final tour through your home to be sure nothing was missed.
- Determine that all utilities have been turned off.
- Before our truck departs, provide the operator with a phone number where you can be reached.
- Be available at your new home to provide any direction to our movers.
