    The Ultimate Checklist for Moving Day

    March 14, 2025 6 min read

    Moving day doesn’t have to be chaos. With the right plan, the right boxes, and the right crew, the whole thing wraps up before lunch. Here’s the checklist our crews wish every customer used.

    2 weeks out: declutter and inventory

    Walk every room with a notepad. Donate, sell or toss anything you won’t want in the new place. Less stuff = less time = lower bill.

    1 week out: pack the non-essentials

    Books, off-season clothes, decor, kitchen extras. Label every box with the destination room and a one-line content note.

    3 days out: confirm everything

    Reconfirm your moving window, parking access, elevator reservations and pet/kid arrangements. Pack a clearly marked first-night box.

    Move day morning

    Strip beds. Empty fridge. Have cash for tips ready if you’re happy with the team. Walk the crew through fragile items first.

    After unloading

    Do a final walkthrough of the old place — closets, cabinets, garage, attic. Then sign off and breathe.
