Preparation is keep to every move. In the aspect of switching your utilities this is especially important. Your Light, Gas, and Internet providers will be much easier to deal with, when you are not hastening them to accommodate a last minute request. Giving them at least two weeks notice can save everyone the hassell of a bad customer experience.

A few points to remember while talking to Customer Service:

• Arrange for a final reading of the water, gas, and electric. Do so sooner than later
• Tell them where you are moving, So they can mail you final bill
• Make sure you get whats due!!! If you have accrued a credit, make sure they pay you! Moving has costs, and one of them should not be a positive balance left behind. (Example: Phone Bill & Envelopes)
• These tips only work if you use them, Don’t neglect what you already know. Never stop learning!

When Packing:

• Organize! Pack using a method, like moving one room at a time.
• Don’t wear yourself out, hire a profession mover, or keep your boxes light.
• Remember, tape can destroy finishes! Plan ahead, once you get to your new home, you’ll want everything in the same shape as when you left.

All My Sons can move anything! Why don’t you give them a try?

* Notify your telephone, electric, gas, water, and credit card Companies.
* Forward necessary mail to your new address. Discontinue service on a specific date.
* Notify former employers. This will make tax time less taxing.
* Be there and give direction. Let them know what you want loaded first and loaded last.
* Get a copy of your inventory sheet from the foreman. Double check his notations about existing damage to your goods.
* Have your insurance plan readily available. Hopefully you will have no use of this tip.
* Devise a system. You should label your boxes with their destination in your new home. Hang numbered signs on the doorposts of each room and write the same numbers on the appropriate boxes. (Example: “2nd Fl./Room 4?) If you’re handy with a pencil, sketch a sample layout of your house, number the rooms on it, and post the layout on the truck for reference.
* Load the rooms to be unloaded first—last. Whatever room is furthest from the entrance in your new home should be that room. In other words, unload back to front. The kitchen should be done at the very end though, because heavy appliances should go in the truck first.
* Don’t forget to have your tools ready when you start unloading. You should put your tool box in when everything else is loaded in the truck.
* Take all your valuable documents and jewelry with you! Don’t forget about your plants either. Most are too sensitive to make a long journey in a hot, dark truck. If you can take them with you too.
