Printable Moving Checklist

 

At ASAP Movers, we know that planning a move can be a daunting task, so we have prepared the following moving checklist to help you prepare!

 

One Month Before Moving Day:

[ ] Contact ASAP Movers for a free moving estimate and book your moving day. Our Aurora moving professionals provide an unsurpassable moving experience. If you are planning a move in the summer, you may wish to call our movers up two months in advance to ensure availability on your desired moving day. Last minute plans? Give us a call and we will do our best to provide you service in a timely manner.

[ ] Order moving boxes and packing supplies unless you plan to have ASAP Movers pack you for your full service or over the road move.

[ ] Begin packing. Clearly label boxes with name, contents, and destination for the box (For more information on packing services, please visit our packing page.)

 

[ ] Sort, discard, and donate unwanted items. (For more information on donation locations throughout the state of Colorado please visit our donation section located on our resources page).

[ ] Notify the post office of your change of address.

[ ] Confirm elevator, loading dock, and parking reservations/parking permits for moving day at both current and destination addresses.

One Week Before Moving Day

[ ] Pack fragile and loose items from drawers into moving boxes. For help with packing services call 720-338-4247.

[ ] Change address with all newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals to which you subscribe.

One Day Before Moving Day

[ ] Consolidate clearly marked moving boxes of fragile items in one area of your home. Alert the movers about these moving boxes on moving day.
