5 Steps to a Successful Cross Country Move
Preparing for a cross country move is about much more than just making the decision to pack your belongings or have the moving company do it! The most successful, least stressful moves result from planning and following these steps:
- Declutter. Everything you move will cost money, so about 6-8 weeks before you move, go through items like clothing, books and other items to decide if some can be sold or donated. Furniture you don’t want can be listed on Craigslist, with the added bonus that someone will pay you for something you don’t need — and then haul it away in the exchange. The cash you make can also help defray your moving cost.
- Itemize and organize. Take stock of what you can go ahead and pack for your cross country move, such as books, small kitchen appliances you won’t need, knickknacks and other items. Label every box clearly with the room and the contents. Also, taking photos of valuable items is a good idea. This is also a good time to order any additional packing boxes and materials you’ll need.
- Prepare for your new home. About 4 weeks before your move date, you can go ahead and make the arrangements to have the utilities and cable turned off at your old home and on at the new home. If you’ve been renting your current home, clean it as you pack so you have the best chance of getting your full deposit back.
- Close, cancel and transfer. About 2 weeks before moving day, fill out a change of address form at the Post Office (or online). Have your car serviced if you plan to drive it across the country to your new home. Cancel your local memberships.
- Keep your valuables and necessary items close. As safe and conscientious as our movers and drivers are, you will probably still want to carry valuables such as jewelry, fragile items and small antiques with you in the car for your cross country move — as well as suitcases packed with what your family will need while on the road.
A cross country relocation is a big undertaking, and it’s easy for some of the items you need to do to slip your mind.
