Moving Day

Before Departure

• Thoroughly check every room of the house to ensure nothing is left behind. Open all closets and drawers.
• Hand over all copies of the old house keys.

Upon Arrival

• Keep entrances clear and accessible.
• Have a clear idea of where you want each piece of furniture to be placed.

Payment

• Payment will be processed after the goods have been delivered.
• You will receive a copy of the transport guide, which should include the new address and tax identification number for invoice/receipt issuance.

Children

• Moving day can be unsettling for children if they don’t understand what’s happening. Ideally, arrange for them to stay with a family member or friend. If this isn’t possible, explain everything to them carefully and try to make the day easier for them.
• Have their favorite toys, books, and a snack readily available.
• Make the departure from the old house quick and as fun as possible.
• At the end of the day, take them out for ice cream to cheer them up.

Pets

• The commotion of moving to an unfamiliar environment can cause stress in animals. If possible, leave them with a family member or someone familiar to them.
• If the move is short, take them with you. Keep them away from the moving company personnel and ensure they don’t interfere with their work.
• If you’re moving to another city or country, contact your veterinarian a month in advance to make the necessary preparations. You will likely need to entrust the transport to a specialized moving company. Inquire about insurance for this type of transport.
• During the arrangement of the new house, create a space for them away from the commotion.

Choose the Date Wisely

• If possible, avoid moving during the weekend, opting for a weekday to avoid paying extra fees.

Use a Tablet or Mobile Phone with GPS

• If the move is long-distance, you may want to know the location of your goods.
• Charge and place a mobile device with GPS inside one of the boxes, ensuring that the “Find My Phone” function is enabled.

Double-Check

• Check closets, drawers, appliances, and wardrobes before leaving. With everything to do, it’s possible to leave something behind.

Parking

• Ensure that the moving vehicle has a place to park.
