How to Plan a Long-Distance Move in 7 Simple Steps
Planning a long-distance move is mostly about sequence. Start two weeks out: sort every room into keep, sell and donate piles, then book your move date so the crew and vehicle are locked in. Pack room by room, heaviest items at the bottom of each box, and label every carton with its destination room and a short content note. Keep documents, chargers, jewellery and daily essentials in a single personal bag that travels with you — never in the truck. A day before the move, defrost the fridge, disconnect appliances and photograph electronics wiring so reassembly is painless. On moving day, walk the crew through fragile items first, confirm the inventory list, and do a final sweep of every cupboard and balcony. Once you arrive, unpack the kitchen and bedrooms first; everything else can wait a day.
