Moving Tips

6 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR MOVE

Tour your home, (include your attic, garage, storage space etc.) to determine what items you will be shipping. Have a garage sale or donate items you will not be shipping to a charity. Reducing your shipment size will reduce your moving costs.
Make travel arrangements, flight, hotel, vehicle rental, etc.
Start using up all extra food stocks, frozen food (cannot be shipped) and canned food, it will reduce the weight of your shipment and shipping costs.
