Get accurate pricing
Start by gathering 2–3 quotes so you can compare options and avoid surprise charges.
Declutter first (saves money)
Every box you don’t move saves time and can reduce cost—especially for long-distance moves.
2–4 weeks before moving
Start packing by room
Pack least-used rooms first, and keep a “do not pack” zone for daily essentials.
Update address + services
Change address with USPS and update banks, subscriptions, and delivery services.
1 week before moving
Confirm details with movers
Double-check pickup/dropoff windows, parking, and any building requirements (COIs, elevator reservations).
Pack an essentials box
Include chargers, toiletries, meds, documents, and 2–3 days of clothes.
Moving day
