One week before
- Confirm the date and details with your movers
- Start using up food in the fridge and freezer
- Label boxes by room, not just by contents
- Set aside a box of essentials you will want first
- Arrange elevator bookings or parking if you are in a condo or apartment
The night before
- Charge your phone and any devices you will need
- Pack an overnight bag so you are not searching boxes for pyjamas
- Keep important documents, keys and valuables with you, not on the truck
- Empty and defrost the fridge if it is coming with you
On the day
- Be ready when the crew arrives so the day starts on time
- Do a final walk-through of every room, cupboard and closet
- Point out anything fragile or especially valuable to the crew
- Keep your essentials box and valuables in your own car
- Check the truck is empty before it leaves
With a fixed-price quote agreed in advance and a clear plan for the day, moving does not have to be stressful. That is the whole idea behind the name.
