MOVING TIPS
Learn from us, these 5 moving tips will make your move from one home to another seamless.
Tip #1 Visit your local Post Office and submit a change of address
Before you move you will want to submit a change of address to your local post office. Submitting a change of address will alert the post office that you are moving and need all of your mail forwarded to your new address. This will prevent any visits back to your old address and ease your mind that all your mail is reaching you!
Tip #2 Change your address on your credit cards and license
Right before or after you move make sure to contact your credit card companies about your move and have them change your mailing address. This will make for easier checkouts online and a guarantee that you will still receiver paper statements if you want. Don't forget to contact your local DMV and change your residential address.
Tip #3 Stop or reroute your Wifi/Cable
Don't get stuck without any wifi at your new spot! Call or contact your Wifi/Cable company and let them know of your move. Internet companies are very according with moves and can usually transfer your service to your new spot. They may even have deals going on - don't be afraid to ask!
Tip #4 Cancel electric/water/garbage
Nothing is worse than getting charged for something you are no longer using or paying double electric/water/garbage bills! Call your local electric and utility companies to let them know of your move. You can give them your exact move date and time - it makes for an easy wrap up!
Tip #5 Donate Donate Donate
A move is a perfect time for a fresh start. When going through your belongings, create a donate and keep pile. If you haven't worn or used an item in 2 years, you probably won't ever use the item - donate it to someone who will! Donating your belongings is a great way to declutter and give back to those in need, it's a win win!
