Packing can wait for a few minutes, can't it?
1. Your move has caught you unawares?
Let's face it – life is highly unpredictable and you never know what tomorrow will bring.
You could meet the love of your life, you could win a trip to an exotic location for two, or you could "hit the jackpot" and have the words MOVE TO A NEW HOME inscribed on your winning ticket.
Well, that's not really funny, is it?

Moving Checklist: The Greatest Moving Checklist of All Time
2. There are movers, and then, there are movers
You need time to fully comprehend what's happening. You need more time so that the idea that you're leaving your home and saying goodbye to your friends can sink in properly.
Unfortunately, time has suddenly turned into your relocation arch-enemy and you will have to prove your great organization skills in order to gain a considerable advantage over Mr. Tick Tock.
Your very first task in your super-detailed moving checklist? To find a good professional moving company. And by good we mean: licensed, insured, experienced, reputable, reliable, and affordable.
Because, you know, the outright success of your move depends on the single choice of who you select as your trusted relocation partner.

3. The "FUN" of moving by yourself
DIY moves can be a lot of fun and might bring a high level of personal satisfaction, especially when you gather up your trusted posse of friends to take care of a few moving tasks.
It's all about reminiscing about the good old times (packing) or bragging about whose visits to the gym have proved the most beneficial (lifting heavy furniture).
Great music, delicious pizza, dear memories, (dirty) jokes – nothing beats a perfectly organized self-move, right?
Not necessarily.
A Do-It-Yourself move is only a viable option when you're moving locally (100 miles or less), have a bunch of reliable friends to help you out, and have previous experience in moving house.
Moving day jokes aside, there are so many things that can go wrong during a DIY move, including the most common error of all – renting a moving truck of the wrong size.

4. Batmobile? You Wish!
Many a time when you're moving to another state, you will need to have your vehicle shipped to the new address simply because you and your family have chosen to fly to your new home instead of driving thousands of miles across the country.
By now, you must have assessed that the risks and dangers of driving for days on end are definitely not worth it.
But since the odds of you owning Batman's futuristic flying automobile are practically zero, you'll need to find one of the best car transportation companies to ship your valuable (family) car.
From the car shipping quotes you get, pick the best offer in terms of your moving budget and relocation needs.

5. Money is the root of all evil
And while the above statement is arguable true, money is surely what makes the world go round (Wait, isn't it LOVE?), and what will enable you to move across the country to another home.
Unfortunately, you will have to be in possession of plenty of dollar bills to bring your residential move to a successful end. OK, but how many?
# What's the average moving cost?
# How much does it cost to hire movers?
These are all essential cost-related questions – find their answers in advance in order to set up your moving budget the right way.
In fact, the creation of a moving budget will help you to keep tabs on your limited finances and respond quickly and adequately when a specific moving task exceeds its pre-set value.
Moving house is no longer when money starts talking. Right?
How to Set a Moving Budget
6. Downward is the only way forward
Moving house can be an expensive affair. Luckily for you, there are numerous proven ways to cut your moving costs and expenses.
In fact, bringing down the moving price is never a bad start to set things in motion, right?
- SELECT a favorable moving date during the off-peak moving season (September-May, middle of the month, weekday) to enjoy a healthy discount of up to 20-30% off the standard relocation rates;
- GET hold of free moving boxes;
- REDUCE the number of things to pack and move to their absolute minimum;
- PACK whatever you can by yourself and leave only super-heavy, oddly-shaped and fragile items to professional packers;
- ASK your moving company for any current discounts or ongoing promotions.
Reduce the moving price and moving jokes will suddenly seem funnier than ever.
How to Cut Moving Costs and Expenses
7. Fine, finer, finest
Undoubtedly, a residential move comes with its sizeable share of paperwork – moving estimates in writing, the Bill of Lading (your moving contract), inventory list, moving company's tariff, weight certificates, receipts, and so on.
Each and every document you are given will play an important part during this transitional period so you must keep all the moving documentation safe, preferably in a dedicated folder.
It's your obligation as a shipper of household goods to read all the essential documents you are presented with (including the fine print!) and make sure you understand fully the terms and conditions explained in them.
If you are uncertain about how to interpret a paragraph, or if a specific clause doesn't make any sense, then don't hesitate to ask your moving company for clarification.
After all, your mover is your relocation partner, and no secrets or ambiguities should exist between true partners, right?
A word of caution: Don't ever place your signature on blank or incomplete documents.

8. Be Ebenezer Scrooge when it comes to packing supplies
Purchasing brand new packing supplies to pack your belongings safely can really inflate your final bill, so you can easily look for alternative ways to get adequate packing materials, especially if you're moving on a tight budget.
Instead of bubble wrap, use old blankets, bed sheets, or any no longer needed pieces of clothing.
Packing paper can be substituted for newspaper – only be careful what you wrap with it due to its tendency to leave unpleasant ink stains.
Useless but clean rags or socks are ideal for filling up any gaps inside the moving containers.
But what about the KING of all packing supplies – the ubiquitous cardboard boxes?
You can get inexpensive or free moving boxes from local businesses that are required to recycle them anyway. Pay a visit to your local grocery store, furniture store, bookstore, electronics store, office supply store, and even your local recycling center, and get back home with more moving containers than you will ever need.
Moving can be kind of fun when you pay less money in the end.
Where to Get Free Packing Supplies
9. Packing chaos, be gone!
Armed with packing supplies in good condition, it's time for the most arduous and time-consuming task in the entire process of moving to another state – PACKING!
However, before you get down to placing your household items into adequate containers of assorted sizes, you must take a tour around your house or apartment and fully inventory it.
The inventory sheet you compile will help you decide which specific items you will be taking with you to your new home and which belongings you will ultimately leave behind to be sold, given away, or disposed of properly.
In order to keep the notorious cluttered chaos at bay, start packing from the premises you use least frequently (garage, basement, attic, spare or guest rooms, etc.) and move on to the rooms you use on a daily basis.
Furthermore, take care of your larger and heavier household items first before you worry about how to pack your odds and ends.

10. Organization is next to… Organist (dictionarywise)
Knowing a number of clever packing tips and tricks can really speed up the packing process but you will also need to know how to introduce some sort of structural order in the packing madness by organizing your already packed boxes.
And the solution is way easier than you might think.
Take a black marker pen and mark each box on at least two of its sides. Write the content, destination room and other essential instructions that should keep the package safe during transportation: FRAGILE, THIS SIDE UP, HANDLE WITH CARE, DO NOT DROP, DO NOT LOSE, etc.
You can also take advantage of the practical color labels system and assign different color codes for the different rooms in the new home. Remember that labeling your boxes properly will certainly accelerate the sorting process upon their delivery.

11. My pet is coming with me, period.
If you're a proud and caring pet owner, then you should already know how very stressful a house move can be for your dear one.
Moving can be especially hard on highly-sensitive animals such as dogs and cats who can have a hard time leaving the safety and comfort of their familiar surroundings.
The less time there is left until Moving day, the more pressure you will be under to decide how exactly you're going to transport your pet.
Will you take them with you in your car?
Will you fly with them to your new residence?
Or will you hire the services of specialized professional pet movers?
And regardless of the transportation mode you choose for your animal friend, there are a score of essential preparations to complete before you can safely move your pet – DOG, CAT, BIRD, FISH – to another state.
12. Two furniture pieces walk into a moving truck…
Have you ever thought of your furniture pieces as giant guardians that are stoically observing your life and silently watching every step you take? Creepy, right?
Moving furniture across the country presents a major logistic problem due to the huge, oddly-shaped, and overweight pieces. Their bulkiness often incurs additional charges when moving, so it's important that you assess well your viable options and ultimately reach the least damaging decision under the circumstances.
Consider SELLING some of your old furniture to save valuable time and earn much-needed money at the same time, GIVING AWAY to friends or DONATING to charity the usable pieces you don't need anymore, or THROWING AWAY the ones that won't do anybody any good.
Do get qualified help to disassemble, pack, carry, load, transport, unload, carry, and re-assemble the furniture you are moving with you.

13. Give your move a taste of its own medicine
Even small children know that moving house is a serious business and homes will promptly get cordoned off as No Laughter zones as Moving day approaches.
And yet, history has shown that fighting fire with fire has rarely yielded any satisfactory results.
That's right – it's time to take out your top secret weapon (Hint: your keen sense of humor) and meet the vicious army led by General Moving House in a decisive battle.
There are numerous good ways to keep your sense of humor afloat while you're weathering your moving storm in a smart attempt to decrease the level of moving stress and boost the relocation morale of the people around you.
Because you do know what the Law of Opposing Forces states, right?
It's simply a matter of either laughing or crying.

14. And the Moving Day Survival award goes to…
The most feared day of your residential move has finally come!
Having spent many a day in preparations for it, you may be thinking that you're more than ready to handle what Moving day has in store for you.
That's right – you may think so but the Big Day never disappoints in finding a way to throw a few challenges along the way – YOUR way.
Your utmost concern and top priority on Moving day should be safety. Keep that particular day accident-free and you will have done a great job.
If you have children and/or pets, you must keep them safe at all costs – hire a trusted friend to look after them in a separate room away from the relocation epicenter.
Also, mind what you wear during the long and exhausting transitional day to guarantee your own safety and that of all other participants.
Keep repeating to yourself, " Safety, safety, safety… "
What to Do on Moving Day: Moving Day Checklist
15. Have a safe and fun trip home!
Ready to begin the relocation journey to the new home?
If, against all odds, you have decided to rise up to the challenge and drive a rented truck by yourself, then you should get ready for an overdose of moving stress.
Keep your eyes on the road, observe the road signs and speed limits, and be extremely cautious when driving under bridges, constructions, electrical wires, trees, and so on as clearance signs are not always present.
If you have chosen to drive to the new house together with your family and pets, then you can easily take advantage of your time together and have some great fun during your long-distance car trip.
You can play various entertaining games inside the vehicle, stop along the way to visit historic landmarks, and just take the unique opportunity for a good old family-bonding experience.
If you're flying to your new home, then don't forget to buckle up your safety belt.

Welcome to your new home!
If you feel uncertain about how to organize your post-move time, then our one-of-a-kind Visual Moving Checklist will guide you through the 21 most important tasks to complete after moving into a new house. What's next? Unpack your delivered boxes.
To speed up the unpacking process, start opening up the moving containers marked as BEDROOM – you will most certainly need some good rest after the exhaustion that only Moving day can cause.
The BATHROOM should be unpacked next – after a tough day of moving house, a refreshing shower will be like manna from heaven for you.
Your third unpacking priority should be the KITCHEN since it will serve as a refueling and recharging station to keep your unpacking energy high enough.

17. Safe, Safer, Safest, Child-proofed
If you just moved into a new house with a small baby or a toddler, then another essential task that brooks absolutely no delay is to childproof your new home.
It takes time and resourcefulness to identify all the potential hazards that your new place may hide, and then to eliminate them effectively so that your child can play and grow in a perfectly safe environment.
To view the new home through your baby's eyes, you will need to become a baby yourself.
Take a crawling tour around the house by first paying a visit to the nursery room, then to the bathroom, kitchen, stairs, and finish the exploratory trip in the living room. Eliminate immediately any recognized danger for your child.
Remember that a happy baby equals happy parents.

18. Relocation WHAT?!?
The post-move adaptation period has officially begun.
Do you find yourself sleeping more hours than you normally do?
Do you feel exhausted and void of energy even after a good night's sleep?
Would you rather stay inside your new home for days on end than to go out and explore your new city?
Do you feel scared by the thought of interacting with unfamiliar people?
Do you catch yourself not willing to do anything but lie in bed and maybe watch TV all day long?
If you heard yourself say YES to any of the questions above, then you may have become a victim of a post-move phenomenon known as relocation depression.
Every person handles change differently and you may be having a harder time adjusting to the unknown settings. In which case, you must learn how to overcome relocation depression before it's too late.
How to Cope with Relocation Depression
19. In view of my recent move, …
As a home mover who has recently changed houses, you have one final moral obligation to fulfill in order to complete the house moving circle – to write a moving review.
By leaving a moving review about your moving company, you get the unique chance to rate (1 to 5 stars) your mover's honesty, professionalism, promptness, appearance, and communication, as well as to give them an overall rating for the quality of their services.
Also, you get to narrate briefly your moving story and mention the reasons why you are happy or unhappy with the work of your professional moving company.
Hopefully, your moving review will contribute to a healthier relocation scene (fewer dishonest or "rogue" movers) and help your compatriots find a better mover for their move.
What's in it for you, you may ask? Well, if you happen to have an unresolved issue with your team of moving professionals, a fair and well-written review may prove to be a good dispute solver.
Start composing your moving review here.
20. Bon Voyage!
Thanks!
Wait a second!
What journey?
I'm already in my new home, am I not?
Your successfully completed relocation just opened up a new chapter in your life.
Your house moving journey may be over, but the long journey to self-discovery has only just begun.
Believe in your inner strength to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead, strap on your therapeutic cap of positive thinking, and never stop smiling.
Enjoy each and every second of your new life!
