Checklist
Getting ready to relocate is thrilling! By using the Platinum Express Moving checklist, you can be sure that every aspect of your relocation has been thought out and prepared for.
Organization
To learn the guidelines and limitations for relocating, start by speaking with building management at both your new address and present address.
- Parking Permits that may be required
- Moving in/out times at both properties.
- Review building access doorways, stairs, service elevators etc.
- Minimum notification time for your landlord, often 1 month ahead
Reviewing Your Quote
All of your line item costs and any potential supplemental charges should be explicitly stated in your quote. Do not be duped by low quotations; frequently, those movers will tack on extra charges that can total up to more than your other quotes and can ruin your experience.
Booked Mover
Once you’ve selected your moving business based on the best pricing and agreed-upon service, continue through with your booking confirmation.
- Apply for leave from work
- Arrange pet transfer for international or long distance moves
- Notify children’s schools and request a transfer of records
Packing Up
It always takes more time than you anticipate. Plan ahead and attempt to complete long before moving day so you can concentrate on the last-minute details. Allocate more time than you anticipate.
- Taking into account your relocation and keeping valuables close by, such as crucial papers
- Purchasing packaging supplies like tape and paper
- Deciding what to leave out for the last night and the day of the move
Moving Day
- Pack final items in your suitcase and store it somewhere separate and secure while your home is open
- Keep your phone charged and ringtone volume on to liaise with your movers
- Remain available for your movers on any trouble shooting or questions
- Do a final sweep of the floors and surfaces, including removing any rubbish
- Call ahead to make sure anyone facilitating access is on time
- Direct the movers there to set up large items or of any changes to your unpacking plan
