Moving Tip – Start Early for a Stress-Free Move

With over 10 years of experience moving families in the Park City and Salt Lake City areas, we’ve seen both highly organized moves and last-minute scrambles. One of the biggest factors in a smooth moving day? Starting early. The sooner you begin planning and handling small tasks, the less stressful your move will be.

What You Can Do Weeks in Advance

• Update Your Address – Submitting a change of address form with the postal service takes about a week or two to process. Getting it done early ensures a seamless transition with minimal mail disruptions.
• Schedule Utility Services – Contact your cable, internet, and utility providers in advance. Many companies have limited appointment availability, so booking ahead ensures you’re set up as soon as you move in.
• Declutter and Donate – Sort through belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. This reduces the number of boxes you’ll need to pack and unpack.
• Pack Non-Essentials – Begin packing seasonal items, decor, and anything you won’t need before the move. This will make the final packing stage much easier.

Why Early Planning Matters

Even though these tasks don’t involve the actual moving day, handling them ahead of time will make everything run smoother. The more organized and prepared you are, the easier and less stressful your move will be. Start early, stay ahead, and enjoy a hassle-free move!
