Follow these tips:</p><p>BEFORE YOU PACK</p><p>1. Plan your move well in advance. This will help you avoid a last-minute frenzy. For a timeline and checklist, visit upack.com/sites/default/files/pdf/MovingChecklist.pdf</p><p>2. Protect critical photos and files. Store copies on a portable hard drive you carry with you, or upload them to a free cloud server such as Google Drive or Dropbox.</p><p>3. Photograph your cords. Shoot images of the connections on your television, sound system, modem and computer so they’re easier to reconnect in your new home.</p><p>4. Make plans for pets. Reduce your pets’ moving stress by boarding them at a kennel or with friends.</p><p>5. Get a Movers Guide from the Post Office. This will help you notify service providers of your new address. It also includes $750 in coupons for businesses and services you might need. Your post office has printed copies or you can fill out a digital version at https://moversguide.usps.com</p><p>WHILE YOU PACK</p><p>6. Color-code your packing boxes. This will make it easy to match them to the right rooms in your new home.</p><p>7. Mark essential boxes separately. Anything you’ll need immediately after move-in should be marked in red. And make sure the important boxes get loaded last so they come off the truck first.</p><p>8. Create a first-night box of essentials. Include medications, toothbrushes, changes of clothing and anything else you’ll need immediately.</p><p>DURING THE MOVE</p><p>9. Don’t box valuables or important documents. Put jewelry, passports, birth certificates etc. in a special Move File and hand-carry them in your own car.</p><p>10. Pack a first-day cleaning kit. Include a vacuum and cleaning supplies so you can freshen cabinets, closets and counters before you move your possessions in.</p><p>11. Make a furniture map. Plot where all the large furniture pieces will go to simplify set-up. You can use graph paper or a free layout tool like homediary.com.</p><p>AFTER THE MOVE</p><p>12. Save all receipts. If your move is associated with a new job or a transfer, you may be able to deduct some of the costs.</p></div></div></div><?php include "../footer.php" ?>
