Plan Your Move: 3 Weeks Prior to Your Move
By Joni White
Less than a month till your move date, you must be excited by now. In 3 weeks you will relocate. You are planning for this for the last 3-5 weeks and it is up and coming. If you followed the previous guides, by now you must be on track to a smooth move. However, if there are any unfinished tasks from previous phases, complete them as soon as possible.
Dispose of Combustibles and Flammables
According to federal laws and regulations, your moving company is not allowed to transport dangerous flammable items and liquids such as: matches, fireworks, acids, aerosol cans, chemistry sets, poisons, cleaning fluids, and, ammunition. Be sure to drain any fuel from your lawn mower and other machinery that you plan to transport. Also, do not take used cans of oil, thinner, or any other substances that may be flammable including propane tanks.
Moving with Pets
If you are moving with your pets, this is the time to make transportation arrangements for them. Take your pets to your veterinarian to ensure proper up to date health certificates and rabies inoculations. Some states will require these documents.
Leaving a Rental Apartment or House?
If you are moving out of a rental house or apartment and you didn't do so by now, this must be the latest for you to give notice to your landlord. Do that right away to avoid late-payments
Confirm Your Details with Your Mover
3 weeks prior to your move is when you have to confirm all the following details with your moving company. Most moving companies are booked 3-4 weeks ahead. Here is the list of what you must finalize with your mover:
Inventory
Let your mover know of any changes in your inventory list. Any changes in your inventory list will affect the price. Be sure to mention any oversized items such as a piano.
Date
Notify your mover if there is a change in the date you booked. If there is a date change complete this task immediately to reserve you new date.
Packing and Unpacking
Notify your mover if you require any additional packing or unpacking services to allow your mover to make all necessary arrangements. For example: if you planned to do all of your packing yourself but changed your mind, your mover must know that you will require packing services
Vehicle Transport
Notify your mover if you need to transport your vehicle to allow him to make all necessary arrangements as some moving companies utilize a sub-contractor for car transports.
