PREPARING FOR YOUR RELOCATION WILL HELP REDUCE
THE STRESS
What to do before
moving day:
|
□ |
Get boxes
and packing materials. Local grocery stores can be a great
resource for boxes, especially produce boxes. |
|
□ |
Schedule
the moving truck or moving company well in advance. |
|
□ |
Contact the
local utility companies for shut-off: City & MDU
**DO NOT** shut these off before preoccupancy by the buyer.
You could risk pipes freezing or problems with scheduled
inspections. |
|
□ |
Contact
utility company for new property for transferring the service to
your name. |
|
□ |
Call the
phone company to schedule transferring of service. |
|
□ |
Call the
cable company to schedule transferring of service. |
|
□ |
Fill out
change of address forms with the Post Office. This can be
done in advance with a "begin" date. Remember to notify
magazines, credit card companies, banks, people on your
Christmas card list, etc. Rule of thumb for no charge
forwarding:
- First Class, Priority and Express Mail: 12 months unless
otherwise requested by mailer.
- Newspapers and Magazines: 60 days.
- Packages weighing 16 ounces or more: 12 months locally
(you pay forwarding charges if you move outside the local
area. If you do not want this class of mail forwarded,
contact your local Post Office).

computer files prior to packing your computer and disconnecting
it. |

varnish, cleaning materials. |
