Moving Checklist

 

The following Moving Tips will help guide you to a safe, efficient and enjoyable move from City Wide Moving Inc.:

 

¨     Many customers find it helpful to create a floor plan of their new home.  They use the floor plan to mark where to place furniture.  City Wide Moving Inc. encourages this as it helps us move your items to the perfect spot. 

 

¨     Have a garage sale prior to moving to sell unwanted items.

 

¨     Approximately two weeks before your move, start packing items that you are not using. Label boxes on the sides with the room it will be going into.  Do not label on the top of the box.  It's a good idea to let City Wide Moving Inc. pack any fragile and valuable items.

 

¨     If you need storage for your belongings before or after your move, please contact us and we will make those arrangements.

 

¨     Some perishable foods can not be transported along with cleaning supplies.  Try to begin finishing them prior to your moving day.

 

¨     Have major appliances disconnected and prepared for the move.  Defrost all freezers and keep freezer doors open to avoid odors prior to move day.  City Wide Moving Inc. can help with these arrangements upon request.

 

¨     Disconnect/Connect all utilities (water, electric, gas, phone, cable, satellite and trash collection).  Make sure you call in advance to ensure all utilities are ready on time.

 

¨     Drain gas/oil from all power equipment (lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc).

 

¨     Make a list of everyone to notify of your move: friends, family, magazine subscriptions, creditors, mail carrier (fill out change of address form), food deliverers, etc.

 

¨     Collect all valuables (jewelry, stocks, cash, etc) as these must be packed, held and transported personally by you on moving day.

 

¨     Inform City Wide Moving Inc. of any high valuable items such as art work, clocks, antiques, etc so they can receive special care.

 

¨     Be prepared to pay on moving day unless specified ahead of time.
