Pack and Ship Hawaii Moving Checklist To Help With Your Move

Moving to a new state may seem like an overwhelming undertaking. But with enough preparation and the help of an experienced moving company, your move can be well executed.

Two months Before Your Move

Get organized and start purging your home of items that you may not want to bring with you. For the items you will bring, assess the value and determine if you will need extra insurance coverage.
Start a binder where you can keep track of everything.
This is also a good time to research on possible shipping companies that can help you move your items. Ask around for referrals or recommendations. Make sure the shipper has a US Department of Transportation number if you are moving states.

6 - 8 Weeks Before

Contact a moving company to request an estimate.
Start ordering your packing supplies and boxes and take measurements of any furniture that you may need to ship. Make sure these will fit in your new home
