One Month Before Moving

Pick up a Change-of-Address Kit from the Post Office. Most Post Offices require at least 3 weeks for the address change to process.
Make a list of people you are going to inform of your new address:

• Friends and family
• Banks
• Insurance companies - either plan to cancel or transfer services
• Credit card companies
• Magazines and newspapers - cancel local newspaper delivery
• Doctors, dentists and other providers – be sure to transfer drug prescriptions
• Past employer - for W2 forms

Start to think about what you don't want to take with you:

• Use up perishable foods
• Sell, donate or hold a garage sale for unwanted items

Prepare a list of what you do and do not want to move:

• Large appliances
• Outside furniture

For full service moves:

• Get written estimates from several moving companies and compare them. Discuss in detail any and all fees and what their damage and payment policies are.
• Will the movers pack for you and what are the pros/cons?
• What items won't they move?
• Get appraisals of high-value items in case of future claims. Include photos of valuables for your records.
• Be sure to arrange for exact form of payment at destination with your mover.

For do-it-yourself moves, make arrangements for truck rental and moving help, and buy packing supplies:

• Boxes
• Packing and masking tape
• Markers
• Newspapers
• Twine

Start packing items you don't use on a daily or weekly basis:

• Seasonal Items
• Seasonal Clothing
• Home Office Items
• Miscellaneous Items- candles, tapes & CDs, knickknacks, etc.

Stop by and make arrangements for picking up your important records:

• Birth
• Doctor
• Dentist
• Legal
• Optician, optometrist

• Veterinarian

One Week Before Moving

Depending on which town in Boston you are relocating to, call the local city hall and arrange for the police to post a Moving Truck Only Permit in front of your new home. Remember that most of the city is Permit Parking only, and without this posting, you and/ or the movers could get a Parking Ticket.

• Start a new bank account in your new town.
• Contact your child's new school and notify them of your upcoming move to their area.
• Get your automobile(s), snowmobiles, lawnmowers, etc. serviced.
• Dispose or drain any flammable items: Lawn mower gas, snow blower gas, paint, aerosol cans
