- You can put all your Important documents (visa, passport, plane tickets, itinerary, etc.) in a safe place
- With the packing list it will be easy for you to know that which item is kept in the boxes, for instance, if you are looking for a glass decoration and it is kept in the glass items box…
- Without a packing list we often forget what they bought along, the list will help you remember everything while going through the boxes after delivery

8 WEEKS BEFORE THE MOVE
- Keep, sell, give, or trash
Go through your home and decide which things are worth the trouble to move. Which you could potentially sell?. Which you might want to donate?. & which you should throw away? - Plan what will go where in your new home
If you can make a floor plan of your new home, Plot out where you intend to place your furniture. If there is a piece that wouldn’t fit, It’s best to figure out now before you have gone through the trouble of moving it. - Create an inventory of your home
Focus on the most important and/or valuable things to you. You will be using this list at the end of the move to make sure that everything made it safely. It’s also a good idea to take pictures of items that may get damaged to show their condition prior to the move. - Organize school records
If you have children, arrange to have their records transferred to the new school they’ll be attending after they move.
6 WEEKS BEFORE THE MOVE
- Slow down on your grocery shopping
Start using the things that you don’t need to move. Such as frozen foods, cleaning supplies, paper goods etc. - Sell what you can. Where you can.
If you have a significant amount of items that you have decided to sell, organize a garage sale to get rid of them. You can also sell any extra things online
✓Donate anything that is in good condition that you weren’t able to sell
Give to friends, or donate to a local charity. Make sure to get receipts for the approximate value of the donated items for potential tax deductions later.
