Dont Forget The Extra Packing Tape

Just because you've completed packing your stuff does not mean you won't need additional packing tape. It's not rare for relocation experts to ask you to tape over one of your boxes because it wasn't properly packed. These are genuine signs of a moving company that cares about your items. Something to remember: if you do not have any additional packing tape left over on the day you move, your mover may charge more for a roll than a you might think. It's like buying a bottle of soda at an amusement park. Be sure to ask them about any extra costs before you move.

Inform Businesses of Your Address Change

Before you move, there are a few people, offices, and businesses you should let know about your address change outside your family. The most evident is the post office. Post offices often offer a forwarding service for your mail where for all intents and purposes, any mail that is sent to your previous address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only runs for a limited time, so it's a good idea that you inform everyone who needs to know as soon as you can. Other companies you should get in touch with include: your utility provider.

Leaving Behind Appliances

Unfortunately, relocating to a new area also means cleaning your old one. It's smart to create lists of all of the various appliances that need your consideration, like removing mildew and stains on appliances around the house, taking the water out of your dishwasher, and disconnecting the washing machine. Be aware that you're accountable for making sure your major appliances are disconnected. Your moving company won't do it for you due to insurance and safety reasons, so be sure to have your washing machine, stove, drier and any other appliance you may have prepared for loading before beginning to move.
