Moving Checklist for Long-Distance Moves

Moving Checklist

Our moving checklist is designed to assist you in adequately planning for your long-distance relocation with Starline Van Lines. The checklist will offer a useful timeline of relocation advice to help you get sorted before the day of your move. Long-distance moving can be quite demanding, and we aim to provide ample information to ease some of the pressure, this will give you the moving help you need when moving out of state. If you require clarification regarding the moving checklist, do not hesitate to contact your Starline Van Lines representative.

YOUR TO-DO LIST

A Month Before Your Move – Moving Checklist

1. Once you’ve confirmed, your moving date contact the moving company of your choice and make a reservation. You can always change a moving time at no charge.

2. If you’re packing start purchasing the required packing supplies. You can get discounted packing materials on our site.

3. Start to organize your garage, closets etc. Get rid of what you don’t need.

4. Donate your unwanted things to charity.

5. Start contacting the local school to transfer records.

6. Get a change of address card from your local post office, or you can change your address online.

7. Start notifying all vendors of your address change.

ONE TO TWO WEEKS BEFORE MOVING DAY

Create a “survival kit” of items you’ll need for the final move out and include snacks for the last day.
If you’re self-packing, label all boxes as you pack. Mark the destination of each room on the top and sides of the box, which will help you stay organized. If you’re having our carrier pack for you, we will take care of this.
Start scheduling your disconnects for utilities. If you have a landline, don’t disconnect it until after you move out. Arrange for any credits that are due, and arrange for connections at your new residence.
Cancel the internet, newspapers, cable, alarms, pest control, lawn care and any other services you receive. We hope this moving checklist helps.

THE DAY BEFORE YOUR MOVE

Make sure you read the Starline Van Lines pre-move email. Also, make sure you’ve purchased additional insurance coverage.
Make sure all breakable items have been removed from dressers and packed away.
Check out our list of things that can’t be moved and make sure you arrange to have them shipped.
Clean the refrigerator and defrost.
Get enough cash to hold you over. The money will come in handy if you need to order a pizza or dinner in your new place.
Double check the moving checklist and then say bye to your neighbors!

MOVING DAY

Create a patch for the movers. Clear your driveway of objects, snow or ice.
Pack your suitcase with all essentials to get you through the next few days, in case you’re not unpacking right away.
Make sure you’re home when the moving company arrives so you can walk them through the house and indicate what needs to be done.
Once all your household goods are loaded on the truck, be sure to do one more walk through of your home. Make sure all windows and doors are locked.
We understand that moving can be stressful. We hope our moving checklist helps. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Below are some other helpful resources.
