Reduce moving madness. Top tips for a stress-free move.

Moving with Portable On Demand Storage

  • Consider the closing dates of both homes.
  • If you plan to use a packing service, schedule to have your container to arrive the day before your packers, since we cannot schedule the specific time for the delivery.
  • When it's time for us to pick-up your packed container, please be sure it is locked and accessible to the driver. You don't have to be there when the driver arrives.

One month before your move

  • Order your Portable On Demand Storage container(s).
  • Obtain and fill out change of address forms.
  • Gather medical records from family physicians, specialists, dentists, etc.
  • Find a pharmacy near your new home and transfer prescriptions.
  • Use up food items so there is less to pack, throw away or spoil.

One to two weeks before your move

  • Set up utility services at your new address.
  • Provide your new address to regular service providers (electric, water, publishers, telephone and cable companies).
  • Make sure there are no outstanding checks or automatic payments that haven't been processed.
  • Collect your valuables from your safe-deposit box.
  • Check with your insurance agent to ensure you'll be covered through your homeowner's or renter's policy during the move.
  • Defrost freezer and refrigerator. Place deodorizer inside to control odours.
