Three Weeks Before a Long Distance Move

You can make your long distance move easier to handle by cutting it up into smaller tasks, which can be accomplished one at a time. You should begin your move preparations 8 weeks ahead of the move. In this short report I will be describing things you can do, at three weeks, to make the move go smoothly.

By now you should have picked a relocation company to aid you in making the move. You should be sure to keep the lines of communication open. If you are required to change the date, or if you possess large or unusual items which you have to move, such as a statue, be sure the moving company knows about them.

This is the time when you need to make decisions about moving your car. If you want to ship your car, you should talk with your movers. With their years of experience in the moving profession they can recommend a trusty car moving company. You can even transport your car in the same truck with all your possessions. However, the charge for this will be more than you would pay a vehicle moving company. Nevertheless, if your car is very valuable, or has great sentimental meaning, you might consider this option.

By three weeks pre-move you should also be making arrangements for transporting your pet. And don't forget to take your pet to the vet and make sure he is up on all his inoculations including rabies shots. Askyour veterinarian for the proper certification papers as well as up to date rabies shots .Some states will require this documentation.

It is also wise at three weeks before the move to locate all the valuables you will be transporting yourself. These include jewelry, valuable stamps and coins, valuable legal documents, stock certificates and the like. Make sure they are all accounted for now, so you will be able to collect them easily on moving day.

Finally be certain that books you have borrowed from the library are returned. And collect items that are being repaired or cleaned.
