for
Moving checklist will

when moving. You should preparing
advance for the move; this will help you
to sort out things at a steady pace and
in a systematic way so that you avoid
the last minute rush. It is recommended
that you have your move planed with at
least two months time allowance to
organize for the big day. The most
hectic and sensitive of the entire
process is the packing, however before
you embark on the packing methods it
would be very important to do the
following; Compile medical and dental
records - including prescriptions and
shot records. Ask your doctors if they
can refer you to a care provider in your
new city. Arrange to have school records
transferred to your children's new
school. Get copies of any legal and
financial records you need. Arrange for
veterinarian records to be transferred
in case you have animals in your care.
Call your insurance agent to see what
changes to expect in your policies for
changing states. Find out if they will
cover your moving and arrange for your
new home’s insurance.
Once you have these important
documentations well taken care of , you
may proceed to point out things that you
may not need to take along as well as
the most valuable items and start
organizing for a moving company to take
care of the process. It will be very
helpful for you to have a list of things
you need to donate, sell or throw away.
After this, you can order your moving
boxes to start packing things that you
do not frequently use. When you
eventually pick a moving day you can
work in union with the moving company to
arrange the day that the deliver your
moving container or ReloCube in which
your stuff shall be packed.
Whether or not you use hired moving
packers, or decide to
pack your own
stuff, you should know that the
supervision of the packing is your sole
responsibility. You will have to
supervise and verify that every thing
you intended to take along is properly
packed into the container. Before
signing the forms from the moving
company, it is also important to
supervise and check the container or
ReloCube for any possible leaks as these
may end up damaging your stuff. Lastly,
before clearing the place and locking
the doors ensure you go through every
room and check into every closet or
cupboard to ensure you have not left any
important stuff behind. After you have
packed every thing into the container,
you can ask the moving crew to verify
the space allocated for you in the
container. Incase you have not used all
the space you can reduce the base rate
by per foot charge on your BOL. The
checklist you fill out when packing your
stuff will come in handy when you
eventually go to collect your stuff on
arrival at your new destination. You
should therefore keep it very safely. To
