Have you ever got to the end of the driveway on moving day only to stop and say, “It feels like we forgot something.” Problem solved! Make a moving checklist and you will have no worries when that day comes to back out of the driveway.

Moving checklist is divided into the three stages of moving:

Before the Move Checklist

• Check out the Government’s free Ready to Move checklist to review your rights and responsibilities as a mover.

• Estimate moving costs from no less than three movers, including checking their policy on lost or damaged items.

• Check with the Better Business Bureau and your local consumer affairs office to check the company’s history.

• Review the process with your mover from beginning to end with contact numbers at every stop.

During the Move Checklist

• Be their when the movers arrive at your housing you are moving from and moving to in order to answer any questions or concerns.

• Go over with the movers your estimate and other billing questions before and after the move.

• Give the mover your contact numbers and make sure addresses and directions are correct.

• Take one last, thorough visit through the house to ensure you’ve moved everything!

After the Move Checklist

• Settle with the movers according to your previous agreement.

• Supervise and assist the movers in making sure everything is unloaded where it is supposed to be.

• Make a brief inspection of your goods to assess any damage before the movers depart.

It is recommended that you make your own moving checklist for personal items you are concerned about, a moving checklist for work-related items, and a moving checklist for household items you’ll need upon arrival at your new home.
