5 Weeks Before Move
Call moving companies and request estimates on your planned move.
Remember to include all services you may need for estimating (storage, packing, etc.).
Start to "give away/throw away" items that you don't want. If necessary, order a dumpster from your local garbage company.
Be sure you know what needs to be moved.
4 Weeks Before Move
Choose a mover -- select moving dates.
Arrange a date for mover to deliver boxes
Start packing if you are "self-packing" - remember that the master bedroom and kitchen should be packed last.
Mark
each box with appropriate room locations and content; this will allow
the unloading process to run smoother (and make packing easier too).
