Prior to moving, most of us are
apt to look at the big picture - and prepare ourselves accordingly. Moving is a
major Endeavour, and it's all too easy to overlook a few of the smaller
details. Still, many of those small details can result in major headaches when
they aren't properly attended to. Familiarize yourself with the commonly
overlooked steps to handle before moving, in order to avoid doing so yourself.
Returning Borrowed Items - If
you're going to be moving far away, make sure you rack your brain to remember
whether you have anything that you've borrowed from somebody else. As you pack
up your belongings, set aside borrowed items and make sure that they get back
to their rightful owner. Doing this before the
Removalists Adelaide arrive is
much better than putting it off until after the move is complete.
Gathering Items Kept Elsewhere -
All too often, many of us drop things off at the dry cleaner's - only to forget
all about them. Sit down and think about places where some of your things may
be; in addition to the dry cleaner's, friends' houses and lockers at school or
at the club are common places. Set aside a bit of time going around collecting
your belongings so that they're not missed at your new location.
Defrosting The Freezer - Your
move will go a whole lot more smoothly when your freezer and refrigerator are
properly defrosted. Set up a reminder and make sure that this detail is handled
prior to moving day.
Tightening The Lids - Most of us
have to move plenty of jars when undergoing removals Adelaide - and the
last thing we want is for their contents to spill everywhere. Before packing up
double check, that the lids on every jar are sufficiently tightened.
Disconnecting Services -
Forgetting to disconnect various services can seriously inconvenience other
people - and may even result in double billings, fees or penalties. Make sure
your newspaper and magazine delivery services are notified of your move. Also,
check to ensure that your telephone and utilities are properly updated.
Contacting The Electoral Roll -
The next time an election rolls around, you can avoid being one of those people
who are woefully unprepared by making sure that your address is updated with
the electoral roll. Registering in your new jurisdiction is essential if you
want to take part in elections in your new city.
Changing Your Address - With
Everyone - double- and triple-check that you have updated your address with all
of the most important places. Also, contact your
life insurance and car
insurance companies and inform them of your new address; sometimes, lower
premiums may occur!
