Create a Moving Schedule

Creating an organized schedule can have a crucial effect on the success of your move. A moving schedule can and will influence all aspects of the relocation, including packing, inventorying and making inventory choices, selecting a moving company and more.

When you work with organized lists and assign a due date for each of the assignments, you will be able to control the relocation process, reduce stress and possibly even reduce expenses.

Let’s take a look at how you can create a moving schedule that actually works

Creating your Schedule

You should begin creating your schedule about eight weeks before the pick up time. Although some of the variables may still be unknown, you can begin working on the inventory lists and on the packing lists.

Needless to say, the inventory list will have a crucial impact on many of the moving decisions and it should be as detailed as possible.

If you decide to do the packing yourself, then you should write down all specific packing assignments that you will need to perform. Assign a reasonable due date for each of the packing assignments you wrote down.

Contacting and Selecting Movers

We recommend that you contact movers approximately five to six weeks before your moving date and only after you have an organized inventory list and an organized packing list.

Moving companies can assist you to finish your dated assignments by providing you packing materials in advance or practical and technical advice.

Getting actual pick up and delivery dates from your mover will help you to finish your schedule and make the appropriate adjustments. If you are having difficulties with creating your schedule, most reputable and experienced movers will be able to guide you through the process.
