Moving is a big job. This checklist breaks it into simple steps, from two months out to your first week in your new home. Check items off as you go, or print it and put it on the fridge.
Packing tips
- Before you pack, take a video of your belongings. Describe each item and mention serial numbers. It can make an insurance claim much easier.
- Packing takes longer than you expect, so start early.
- Pack the things you use least first, and unpack them last.
- Use sturdy boxes you can seal with packing tape.
- Keep each box to 40–50 pounds at most. Pack books on end in smaller boxes.
- Fill empty space with packing paper or bubble wrap so nothing shifts.
- Label every box with its room and contents, so the movers know where it goes and you know what to open first.
- Keep valuables like jewelry, collections and checkbooks with you, not on the truck.
- Remove breakables from drawers before furniture is moved.
