At Eagle Moving we would like to offer some basic moving tips that some people might overlook otherwise. These tips will help your next move go much more smoothly and get you moved in a quick and efficient time.

First Steps


  1. 1. Schedule a mover two months before your move.
  2. 2. Most important, start packing early so you will not feel overwhelmed and stressed.
  3. 3. Start a file for your moving receipts, they may be tax deductible.

One Month Before You Move


  1. 1. Decide which items you are taking with you and which items you are selling, donating or disposing of.
  2. 2. Go to the post office and fill out a change of address form with the date you would like your mail to start being delivered to your new location.
  3. 3. Notify medical doctors, dentist, eye doctor, schools, work, etc. of your new address.

Two Weeks Before You Move


  1. 1. Notify the following companies of your new address: cable, electric, telephone, gas, home insurance, car insurance, life insurance, charge card companies, bank, etc. of your new address.
  2. 2. Gather up your last month of bills and put them in a separate file that is easily accessible in case you have to contact any of these companies when you move into your new location.
  3. 3. Continue packing non-essential items that your will not be needing such as off season clothing, china, etc.
