●
Start stocking up on boxes, packing materials, tape and markers. Make sure to
mark all boxes with the corresponding room (kitchen, living room, etc.) so movers
know where they will be placed.
●
Contact several movers and compare prices. But do not choose a mover based
solely on the cost. Make sure the mover has the right training, experience and
equipment to do the job. Ask the mover for references of their past clients with a
similar volume of things as yours. Make sure the movers are licensed and bonded as
required in your state.
●
Get mover estimates in writing. It is possible to get discounts through membership
organizations so make sure to ask.
●
Keep a checklist handy. Your checklist may include the following items:
