Plan your move early – good preparation will ensure a smooth move and will help keep the costs down. Consider if you will need storage?
•
Create a list of goods that you no longer want or need and consider donating these to charity, friends or even hold a garage sale prior to your move.
•
Proper removal cartons – strong cartons of the same size can be loaded quicker and safer than what weak, odd shaped cartons can be.

Food – for the weeks leading up to your removal, try and utilize what you have in your pantry and fridge. It is easier to restock your kitchen with fresh produce once you have moved.
