Life changes/Moving
New address. Nothing missed.
Moving is a hundred small tasks with deadlines. We count down from your move date so the mail, utilities and paperwork are done before the boxes are.
The checklist, in order
A preview of what we send. Members get each step as a reminder, timed to their dates.
- 4 weeks outBook the truck or movers, and ask your landlord about the deposit walkthrough.
- 2 weeks outSchedule internet at the new place. Installs often book 1 to 2 weeks ahead.
- 10 days outSet up mail forwarding with USPS. You can schedule it up to 3 months early.
- 1 week outTransfer electric and gas, with service starting the day before you arrive.
- Move weekPack a first-night box: chargers, sheets, toilet paper, meds, a few tools.
- First 30 daysUpdate your address with your state DMV, bank, employer and voter registration. Many states set a deadline.
