There are a multitude of things that need to be done when preparing for a move, including setting up the forwarding of your mail, acquiring packing supplies, and changing over your utilities. The actual move itself is the simple part, given that most of your time will be spent packing and unpacking.
Preparation is the key to making every aspect of the relocation go smoothly. This preparation can be a detailed and time-consuming process but it will ultimately make the move a good deal less stressful and simpler. Before you move you need to identify all the utilities you have and make sure that all your information is properly transferred. It is a good idea to do this as far in advance as possible so that your utility companies have plenty of notice.
Another task that you will need to complete is filling out a change of address form for your post office, which can be done on the internet. Make sure that your credit card is still registered to your existing address, as this is how the request will be verified by the post office.
There are plenty of places where you can purchase packing supplies; however, buying tape and boxes for your move can end up costing a surprising amount of money. This additional cost can be avoided by going to the places that hand out boxes for free. The great majority of retailers receive plenty of shipments; however, one of the best places to ask is furniture stores, which are likely to have a wider range of sizes.
