6 Things to Remember when Moving?

 1. Give your forwarding address to the post office two to four weeks ahead of time.

2. Have utilities disconnected at your old home and connect to your new one.

3. Notify your bank, creditors, and magazines you subscribe to, as well as friends, relatives, and business colleagues.

4. Have a “first Open” box with the things you will need most-like toilet paper, trash bags, scissors, hammer, screwdriver, pencil, and paper, cups, plates, water, snacks, and toothpaste.

5. Check insurance coverage for moved items. Usually movers only cover what the pack.

6. Cancel newspaper delivery.
