Insurance

Making sure your household items are covered in the case of an accident or emergency is a wise move. Be sure to check and see if your homeowner’s policy covers a move. If it doesn’t, it may be time to switch carriers.

Make a List

Knowing exactly what you are moving will ensure that you know if something goes missing. Moving a home takes a lot of time and energy, and it is easy to forget some things. If you make a detailed list of the items you are moving, you will know if something does not turn up.

Choose Wisely

If you are not using a professional packing service, be sure that the boxes and protective layers you are using to pack your valuables are the absolute best you can afford. Taking care to meticulously bubble wrap the dishes that have been in your family for generations only to pack them in a flimsy box is a recipe for disaster. Instead, use high quality packing materials.

Label Away

Boxes that contain fragile materials need to be labeled as such. Period. Pull out that Sharpie marker and go to town.

Take It With You

If there are small items that mean the world to you, consider traveling with them rather than leaving them in a moving truck. If you have small valuables in your personal vehicle, you always know where they are.

Talk to Your Movers

When the movers arrive, let them know which boxes and large unpacked items are of value. Keeping an open line of communication with all parties involved in a move will only serve you well in the long run.
