Holguin Moving of Fremont, Ca - 30 Day Move Planner

4 Weeks Ahead

Decide on a mover.
Start sorting through your things to decide what to keep and what to throw out. If you are going to have you mover pack your belongings, arrange to have it done 1 or 2 days prior to your move. If you decide to pack yourself, start this week. Make packing easy on yourself. Pack Gradually. Pack items not being used, as in closets, attics, lofts, rafters, etc... well ahead of time. If you pack a little each day for 30 days, meeting your packing deadline will not be as exhausting of time consuming prior to your move. HOLGUIN MOVING can supply packing materials at a very reasonable cost, as well as a free packing guide.
Fill out Post Office change-of-address cards.
Start notifying businesses, relatives, and friends of your move.
Don't forget credit card companies, publications subscribed to, Department of Motor Vehicles, etc.....
