Keep a detailed log of moving expenses in your notebook. Some may be tax-deductible, so make sure you keep all the receipts.
Remember to notify the post office that you will be moving, and provide them with a new address. More information on packing aids here.
It is important to teach your children the new address and phone number. Ask them to write it on every packed box for practice.
Be present during the move. It is important to be present at the location from the time the moving team arrives to the very last moment when the truck leaves your home. If you cannot be present during the move, or you have a problem to be home to greet the movers arrange for someone to do it for you. You might be facing extra charges for the time in case the team will arrive at your home before you do.
