Schedule of Events - Moving Day By
Day.
- 4 Weeks Before Moving - Tour your house and
decide which items should be discarded or donated to charity. Consider
a garage sale. Call doctors and dentists. They may recommend a
colleague near your new home. Get copies of renewable prescriptions.
Arrange transfer of school records. Check homeowners insurance
policies to see if moving is covered. If you have house plants, ask
for a copy of "How to Move Your House Plants," and start
preparing your plants for the move.
- 3 Weeks Before Moving - Plan to use up most food
items before the move. Check and clear tax assessments. Arrange to
have major appliances serviced before you move them. Movers can't take
aerosols, flammables or ammunition. It's best to use them up or give
them away before you move. Propane tanks must be emptied and sealed.
If you have pets to transfer, we can send you advice, plus the
"How to Move Pets" brochure will be helpful. Notify the Post
Office and get change-of-address forms. Notify magazines to which you
subscribe.
- 2 Weeks Before Moving - Make your travel
reservations for the trip. Decide which items you'll pack, and which
you'd like McCormack-Payton to pack. We can provide the finest packing
materials at reasonable prices. Close or transfer all charge accounts.
Return library books and other things you've borrowed. Arrange to
discontinue utilities and delivery services for the day after loading.
Arrange connection of utilities in new home to begin the day before
delivery.
- 1 Week Before Moving - Transfer bank accounts,
and ask your local credit bureau to transfer your records to your new
city. Set aside maps, games, snacks, flashlight and other items you'll
take in your car. Gather medicines and important papers for the car
trip. Your local phone company business office can help you with phone
service for you new home, as well as disconnecting service at your
present home.
- 1 Day Before Moving - Put cleaning supplies,
toiletries and coffee pot in special box to be loaded last/unloaded
first. Finish packing all suitcases. Defrost, clean and dry
refrigerator.
- Moving Day - Be on hand all day to
answer questions, accompany driver during inventory, sign bill of
lading, confirm your new address and delivery date. Be sure to advise
him of your enroute accommodations. Make final check of every room and
storage area. Make sure windows and doors are locked, keys are
transferred and lights are out.
- Move In Day - It's a good idea to be
at your new home a day ahead of the van so you can make sure utilities
are connected, plug in your telephone and plan placement of major
items in your home.
