Mover's guide
To avoid any last-minute problems, plan your move with the utmost care. Start by gathering boxes and wrapping paper; once you know the exact date of your move, reserve the services of a moving company as soon as possible. If necessary, don’t hesitate to take additional insurance to cover your possessions during the move.
Draw up a list for the movers of what is and what is not to be moved. Pack up anything you won’t need until moving day: you will have much less to pack in the few days prior to your moving.
Use this handy checklist to help make your move a total success

The day before:
-
Remove curtains and blinds

Remove obstructions from the halls and entrances to be used by the movers
-
Clearly identify boxes and items for the movers as well as the items you will be moving personally.

-
Take a reading of all meters (electricity, heating oil, etc.)
-
Check the condition of your furniture before it leaves
-
Bring your telephone with you

Before leaving, hand over the keys to the appropriate person

Keep important documents such as cheques, moving contract and invoices, etc., with you.
When you get to your destination:

-
Indicate any lost or damaged items on the movers’ delivery order slip
-
Take a reading of the meters (electricity, heating oil, etc.) at your new residence.
