Preparing For a Long Distance Move at 6-8 Weeks Pre-Move

By breaking down your move preparations into small manageable chunks you can have a safe stress free move. The very first planning should start 6-8 weekis before your move. At that time you should make an inventory and decide which items you can get rid of or left behind and given away. All items such as old books, magazines, broken items, old toys can be left behind. Don't fret about workable items you wish to leave behind. You can either donate them to a local charity or sell them at a neighborhood sale. If you are giving your items to charity be sure to call several weeks before moving day, so they will have time to schedule a pickup. Supplie If you plan to do your own packing or partial packing, start collecting suitable moving and packing supplies. We can supply any moving materials you may need at a fair price -delivered to your door. All boxes that you purchase from a self storage or a moving supply company are specially designed for the moving industry to prevent any damages to your belongings. Getting boxes from other sources may create some difficulties when packed in our trucks or storage facility. These boxes may be unusual sizes and they may not be strong enough to prevent damage to items packed inside. Think about your new home layout and start thinking about where you'll place the furniture. Create a floor plan of your new home that will prevent the stress of making decisions when your furniture arrives at your new home. Plan on taking all important documents, such as wills, stock certificates, and other one of a kind items (jewelry, coin collection, photos etc.). During this period, make arrangements to transfer your insurance, including medical, property, fire and auto to your new city. take time to read up on your new home. Get information about schools and programs for your children, as well as parks and recreation services. All travel arrangements (hotel, flights, car rental, etc.) for your family should be made at this time. Try to keep your plan flexible as possible to accommodate any schedule changes or delays. Importent: Also, don't forget that many moving expenses are deductible. To get tax credit you will need Form 8822. You can get the form by calling (800) 829-1040 or visiting the IRS web site at (www.irs.gov ). You will be able to download and print form 8822 and most other IRS tax forms; e.g., Form 3903 to help deduct moving expenses.
