Essential Moving Tips for a Stress-Free Journey.
Moving to a new home should be an exhilarating milestone, not a source of stress. At AVIV Moving & Storage, our professional Boston movers handle the heavy lifting and expert packing, allowing you to focus on your new destination. With over 30 years of experience, we provide seamless, stress-free moving services throughout Massachusetts.
The Planning Stage
Plan your move well in advance to make it as stress-free as possible. Ideally, you should look at getting estimates at least 6 weeks before the move.
Packing & Decluttering
Start your packing with things you need the least. Keep all supplies like boxes, tapes, and bubble wrap in ready supply.
Before our professional movers arrive, take the time to audit your belongings. Assessing whether you truly need an item before packing it is essential for a successful relocation. Disposing of unnecessary clutter ensures a faster, more efficient move.
To ensure a stress-free move, we recommend using up all perishable goods before you leave. Reducing the volume of food in your fridge and pantry minimizes waste.
The Notification Checklist
Make a list of everyone who needs to be notified of the move. Don't forget to arrange for mail forwarding at the post office.
Final Days & Moving Day
The final stretch — a few key rules will make moving day smooth and stress-free.
Immediate Use Box
Pack articles for immediate use separately. Take it along with you or have it loaded LAST in the truck so it is the first thing off.
Utilities Rule
Do not cancel utilities and phone lines until the day AFTER you have moved out. Ensure they are up and running in your new home the day you arrive.
