Cross country moving timeline

Did you know that cross country moving is one of the hardest things that you’ll do in your life? We’re not sure if you know this or not but anyway we’re here to help. That’s why we at New Leaf Moving Group Florida are here to provide you with cross country moving timeline. It’s quite common that more and more people are moving cross country. That’s especially true that more people are moving from California to Florida for example. The weather is quite similar but the cost of living is almost double in California. So let’s dive in and explore the timeline together!

Cross country moving timeline starts about 60 days before your move

The first thing we do as cross country movers Florida is to tell our customers to pack the documents. Packing documents is really important so prepare your passports, IDs, birth certificates, insurance cars, and medical records. If you have kids don’t forget to talk with the principal so you can transfer them in advance and also don’t forget to find good schools in your new city. Now when it comes to pets make an appointment at the vet’s office. So you can talk about your relocation and if a pet needs any vaccines or how will it adapt (especially if it’s a different climate). Don’t forget that pets and children are similar, so you want to keep everything organized.  After that, you should start decluttering (the sooner the better). So you should decide your things into three categories:

• Throw away items
• Keep or move items
• Sell items
• Donate items
• Store items
• Recycle items
• Fix items

You can add or remove any of these categories which is great. There is also a 20/20 rule; if something is worth less than $20 throw it away. Last but not least is the 1-year rule, if you haven’t used an item for over a year throw it away. Now make a list of all the things that you’ll have to fix before you move out. This is true for those who rent and those who are owners (especially if you want a better price). After that start making appointments with carpenters, painters, plumbers, etc. The sooner you contact them the better ones you’ll find plus they’ll lower the price. That’s also true with making appointments with long distance movers Boynton Beach.

30 days before your move

15 days before you start moving cross country

The night before the move and the moving day

This is the time when you’ll discontent the TV, and kitchen appliances, disassemble the kitchen and start packing the last things that you won’t need.
