Commonly Forgotten Steps to Take Care Of Before Moving

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!
