1. Preparing for Your Move
The earlier you start preparing, the smoother your moving day will be!
- Declutter closets and storage bins before packing.
- Donate, sell, or recycle unwanted items to save time and money. The lighter your load, the easier your move.
- Use quality cartons for extra protection and easier unpacking. From wardrobe boxes to dish packs, King’s has you covered.
2. Leading up to Your Move
- If you live in a condo or apartment, book the elevator early to avoid delays.
- Call your insurance company before moving day to confirm your coverage.
- Notify your bank, employer, and utility providers about your address change to avoid service disruptions.
- Pack one room at a time to stay organized.
- Reserve a moving truck parking spot for a smooth move.
3. One Week Before Your Move
- With one week to go, make sure to check these tasks off your list:
- Start packing as much as you can now to avoid last-minute stress.
- Snap photos of your electronics before unplugging, so reassembly is a breeze.
- Don’t forget to empty and defrost your fridge at least 24 hours before moving.
- If you have kids or pets, arrange for their care in advance.
- Clearly label boxes by room and contents for easier unpacking.
4. Overnight Essentials
After a long move, searching for basics is exhausting. Packing an overnight essentials box saves time and hassle.
- Pack toilet paper, snacks, chargers, and clothes—prepare as if for a hotel stay. Don’t forget scissors, garbage bags, and a toolkit.
- For pets, pack their food and dishes.
5. Before you leave the House
Before you say goodbye to your old home, take a few minutes for a final walkthrough.
- Ensure the lights are off, the water is shut off, and the thermostat is set to a lower temperature.
- Check every room, closet, and the fridge for forgotten items like keys, chargers, and important documents. Secure all the windows and doors before you leave.
