The Right Moves
Pre-move packing will streamline your move if you follow these 5 moving tips to ensure nothing gets forgotten in the rush of packing.
- The earlier the better. Start as soon as you know you’re going to move and do a little at a time.
- Donate or ditch. Take a critical eye to your belongings to lessen your packing load.
- Handle with care. Your antiques and collectibles deserve special handling, and Victory Van can help you with that.
- Make reservations. When you call to book your movers, remember to make arrangements for moving large, delicate items like pianos. Victory is expert at moving those, too.
- Paperwork. Set aside vital financial and legal documents so they don’t get lost in the shuffle.
The Right Lists
Make your life easier with checklists for everything.
- Keep tabs on which accounts you’ve updated with your new address.
- If self-packing, number each carton and make a list of what’s in it so you can tell right away where something belong.
- Keep a list of utilities to call and note down when you should schedule a service move or cutoff.
