Checklist for a long-distance move
As you
know long
distance
moving is
different from
moving across the
town.
Long-distance
moving is much
more challenging,
time-consuming and
tiring than a
local move.
International
moves, one example
of a long
distance
move, are
even trickier to
coordinate. You’ve
got to have the
details correct
and in order form
the get
go.
Long-distance
moving is
stressful and
requires a lot of
effort with
planning and
organizing. More
advance planning
is needed for a
long-distance move
than a local
move. Keep
reading for a list
of a few items you
will want to
include in your
checklist for a
long-distance
move. 
Decide what items you are moving
There
are of things in
our homes that we
don’t use anymore
but have kept it
any way. My
basement is full
of stuff I could
get rid of. Maybe
yours is too! But
before your long
distance move,
it’s best to get
rid of the things
you don’t use.
Moving is a great
time to clean out
all these items.
Long distance move
costs are
dependent on the
weight of what’s
moving. There is
no sense in paying
for moving the
things you don’t
use. Sell these
things off and
take with you only
what’s
necessary.
Get your packing supplies in order
Before
the long-distance
move, you will
have to get an
early start by
getting your
boxes, packing
material and
shipping tape.
Make sure to keep
the boxes on hand.
You can get the
boxes either at
the store or from
your relatives and
friends. You can
also ask local
grocery stores as
they generally
have spare boxes
lying
around.
Change your address
Right
before your leave
your current home,
make sure to
change your old
address to the new
one. Change your
address with the
post office and
other companies.
The easiest way to
do it is by going
online to the post
office’s change of
address site.
Address changes
need to be made at
your banks,
insurance company,
a credit card
company, etc. If
you don’t change
the address, mail
will end up at
your old house and
then it just
causes delays
which causes more
stress. A long
distance move is
enough stress at
once!
Get familiar with your new locality
If
possible, we
recommend you
spend some time in
your new
neighborhood
before the move.
By becoming just a
little familiar
with the new
neighborhood you
will feel more
comfortable when
you finally settle
there. Visit the
new neighborhood
and spend some
time getting to
know the nearby
restaurants,
grocery stores,
movie theaters,
and shopping
malls, etc.
And
– make sure to
enroll your
children in school
before moving to
the new
neighborhood.

Move
