A Positively Moving Experience
Often Forgotten Items on Moving Checklists
In this blog entry, the professional TriState area residential moving service team will detail the most regularly forgotten important tasks that can be neglected before your residential relocation service,
Transferring Utilities
It can be very unpleasant to forget your utility setup before moving to your new location. Forgetting to turn off your utilities at your old home can cause unnecessary charges to pile up. If you forget to turn on utilities at your new home, it will be very uncomfortable when you arrive, and all that you want to do is settle in. Contact your utility service as soon as you can so they can have advance notification when they need to shut off your utilities at your old property and turn them on at your new property.
Changing Addresses
Make sure that you change your legal home address in advance with all relevant institutions. These include banks and federal organizations like the DMV. Many of these organizations will provide you a special grace period in which to update your address, but it’s best to do this sooner than later. By changing your address for all of your regular bills, you can rest easy in the knowledge that they will arrive at your new home.
Forwarding Mail
It’s essential to set up mail forwarding service with the United States Postal Service in order to ensure that mail accidentally sent to your old home will eventually arrive at your new home. Mail forwarding service is usually free for the first year of your relocation, and is available for a low cost after this first year. This will transfer all mail sent in your family’s name to your brand new address.
