Apr 23, 2024

Prepare for your upcoming move with these 10 easy tips!


Preparing for your upcoming move with S.B. Taylor Transport can ensure a smooth and stress-free relocation experience. Here are ten ways to prepare:



  1. Create a Checklist: Make a comprehensive checklist of all the tasks you need to complete before moving day. Break down tasks into manageable steps such as sorting, packing, and cleaning.
  2. Declutter and Organize: Go through your belongings and declutter before the move. Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. This will reduce the number of items to be moved and save time and money.
  3. Gather Packing Supplies: Gather packing supplies such as boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and markers. S.B. Taylor Transport can often provide these materials, or you can source them yourself.
  4. Pack Early: Start packing non-essential items well in advance. Begin with items you don't use often and gradually work your way to everyday essentials. Label each box clearly with its contents and the room it belongs in.
  5. Plan for Special Items: If you have fragile, valuable, or bulky items, plan how you will pack and transport them. S.B. Taylor Transport has experience handling special items and can provide guidance if needed.
  6. Communicate with S.B. Taylor Transport: Keep S.B. Taylor Transport informed about any special requirements, such as fragile items or difficult-to-move furniture. They can tailor their services to meet your needs.
  7. Prepare Appliances: If you're taking appliances with you, make sure they are clean and disconnected on moving day. Defrost the freezer and secure any loose parts. S.B. Taylor Transport can handle the rest.
  8. Arrange for Utilities: Arrange for utilities to be disconnected at your old home and connected at your new one. Schedule the disconnection and reconnection for the appropriate dates.
  9. Update Your Address: Update your address with relevant parties, including banks, utilities, subscriptions, and the post office. Ensure that your new address is set up to receive mail and packages.
  10. Prepare an Essentials Box: Pack an essentials box containing items you'll need immediately upon arrival at your new home, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, and essential documents. Keep this box with you during the move.


By following these steps and working closely with S.B. Taylor Transport, you can ensure a seamless and stress-free relocation experience. Their professionalism and expertise will help make your move as smooth as possible.
