Moving Checklist

Relocating your home can be a very stressful and time-consuming experience. One of the things that can help you finish your move with less stress is organizing and sorting of your stuff, but also, organizing your time. The well-planned move can significantly reduce moving costs too. With our 2019 Ultimate Stage by Stage Moving Checklist, you will avoid most of the common inconveniences that that can happen during the move (forgetting to pack something, breaking some of your items during the move, forgetting to contact or cancel services, etc.).

Our Moving Checklist will guide you throughout the whole process of the relocation, starting from 8 weeks before the move. Don’t forget that you don't want to leave everything for the last moment, pack one box a day and avoid the stress. We have also prepared sections for the day of the move and one week after, because unpacking can be as stressful as packing and you need a plan for that part of the relocation too.
