Take Care of These 4 Essential Tasks for Your Move to Northwest DFW

Published: August 01, 2022

There are a few things to take care of before you start moving. UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Northwest DFW is here to assist with every aspect of your move. Use this checklist to ensure everything goes according to plan during your move.

Pack well in Advance

The first step is to get started early. This will allow you to finish packing and loading your belongings before the truck arrives. Heavy items should be placed at the bottom of boxes, while delicate things should be kept in the upper levels.

Purchase Necessities

Having all your furniture and other necessities, such as drapes and blinds, kitchen appliances like a refrigerator, and even living room sofas, is critical. Don’t wait until moving day to order more substantial goods if something is unavailable; you may not be able to receive them on time.

Pets and Plants 

You’ll want to get your pets and plants into their new residences as quickly as possible. You’ll need to make sure your dogs have a safe location to stay while you’re moving and that your plants are cared for by a friend or family member.

Notify Utilities

Finally, notify your power providers about the change. This includes your cable and internet service providers and your phone provider. Notifying them ahead of time might assist to prevent service outages.

You can avoid any headaches or difficulties that may arise during your move by following this checklist and addressing these concerns ahead of time. Check out the UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Northwest DFW blog for more useful tips.
