1 Week Before "Move-Out Day"

6 Weeks | 4-5 Weeks | 3 Weeks | 2 Weeks | Move-out Day | Move-in Day

1. This is your week to tie up loose ends.  Check back through the checklists above to make sure you haven't overlooked anything.
   
   
2. Since you will want to have your utilities (electric, gas, phone, etc.) on during moving day, arrange to have them disconnected from your present home the day after your scheduled move-out.
   
   
3. Call ahead to have utilities connected at your new home the day before or the day of your scheduled move-in.
   
   
4. Your Security Storage agent will provide to you "Do Not Load," "Load Last," and "Fragile" stickers for your boxes.  Take the "Do Not Load" stickers and place them on all the things you want to take with you.  Then, since the last items loaded are the first ones unloaded, put the "Load Last" stickers on things you will need to use as soon as you get to your new home.  The "Fragile" stickers should be placed on items that need special care.
   
   
5. Pack your suitcases and confirm your personal travel arrangements (flights, hotel, rental cars, etc.) for your family.  Try to keep your plans as flexible as possible in the event of an unexpected schedule change or delay
