Moving can feel overwhelming, especially when there are dozens of small tasks to remember. A simple checklist can help you stay organized and reduce last-minute stress.
If you are planning a move in Regina, use this guide to prepare before moving day.
4 Weeks Before Your Move
Start with the bigger planning tasks.
- Confirm your moving date
- Book movers or arrange transportation
- Start decluttering
- Donate or sell items you no longer need
- Begin collecting packing supplies
- Reserve your moving boxes
- Notify your landlord if required
- Start a list of address changes
Booking your moving boxes early can help make sure the quantity you need is available for your preferred dates.
2 to 3 Weeks Before Your Move
Now is the time to start packing items you do not use every day.
Good items to pack early include:
- Seasonal clothing
- Books
- Decorations
- Extra kitchenware
- Storage items
- Hobby supplies
- Guest room items
Label each box by room so unloading is easier.
1 Week Before Your Move
As moving day gets closer, focus on the essentials.
- Confirm your movers or vehicle
- Confirm your moving box delivery
- Pack most remaining household items
- Keep important documents together
- Set aside medications and valuables
- Prepare a small bag with clothes and toiletries
- Confirm elevator or building access if needed
Try not to leave all your packing until the final day.
The Day Before Moving
Do a final walkthrough of your home.
Check:
- Closets
- Cabinets
- Drawers
- Storage rooms
- Garage
- Basement
- Fridge and freezer
Make sure boxes are closed properly and clearly labelled.
Keep important items such as keys, identification, chargers, medications, and documents with you instead of packing them into the moving truck.
Moving Day
On moving day:
- Keep pathways clear
- Load heavier boxes carefully
- Stack boxes securely
- Protect fragile items
- Keep children and pets away from busy loading areas when possible
- Check each room before leaving
Reusable moving boxes can make loading easier because they are sturdy and designed to stack.
After You Move
Once you arrive at your new home:
- Place boxes in the correct rooms
- Unpack essential items first
- Check for damaged belongings
- Update any remaining address information
- Return keys to your previous property if required
- Arrange pickup of your rental moving boxes when you are finished
With Rent A Box Express, your boxes can be picked up after your rental, so you do not have to deal with stacks of empty cardboard boxes.
