Moving can feel overwhelming, but a solid plan makes all the difference. Whether you are relocating across Berrien County or settling into a new place in the South Bend area, having a week-by-week checklist keeps everything on track.
Start six weeks out by sorting through your belongings room by room. Donate or sell anything you no longer need. Fewer items means fewer crates and a faster move. Contact Taylor Lee Moving Crates to reserve your preferred package size and delivery date.
Four weeks before your move, begin notifying important parties of your address change. Update your license, voter registration, insurance policies, and subscriptions. Set up mail forwarding through USPS. If you have kids, arrange school transfers and medical record requests early.
Two weeks out, start packing non-essential items like seasonal clothing, books, and decor. Label each crate with the room it belongs to using the dry-erase labels included with your order. Pack a separate essentials bag with toiletries, chargers, medications, and a change of clothes.
In the final week, confirm your delivery window, take photos of serial numbers on electronics, and defrost the freezer. On moving day, do a final walkthrough of every room, closet, and cabinet. Hand off your keys and head to your new home with confidence.
