Want a stress-free moving day? Let United Prime Van Lines handle everything — we’ll take care of the details so you don’t have to.
The way you start your day sets the tone for the entire move. Wake up early, eat breakfast, wear comfortable clothes, and stay focused on the process ahead.
✔ Get ready early.
Wake up on time, double-check that everything is packed and ready to go. Review your “First-Day Box” — keep documents, chargers, medicine, and snacks with you.
✔ Keep everyone safe.
Make sure kids and pets are in a separate room or supervised. It keeps them calm and helps movers work efficiently.
✔ Check everything before departure.
Take photos of your furniture and electronics — they’ll come in handy for insurance. Keep tools and cleaning supplies nearby — they often help right before leaving.
✔ Stay in control.
When the movers arrive, show them fragile items, what shouldn’t be loaded, and what goes first. Keep your phone charged and close at hand for communication.
✔ Keep documents and valuables with you.
Passports, jewelry, laptops, and cash should travel with you — never send them with the truck.
✔ Support your crew.
A small gesture like offering water or snacks goes a long way. It creates a positive atmosphere and keeps the job running smoothly.
Before you lock the door of your old home, and as you step into your new one, take a few minutes to go through these final checks.
✔ Do a final walkthrough.
Check every room, closet, and drawer to make sure nothing is left behind.
✔ Turn everything off.
Lights, outlets, appliances — make sure all are turned off and safe.
✔ Tidy up before leaving.
A quick cleanup or taking out the trash is a simple but respectful gesture for the next residents or landlord.
✔ Lock up and return keys.
Close all windows and doors securely. If you’re renting, inform your landlord that you’ve moved out.
✔ In your new home.
Show movers where each box and piece of furniture should go. Inspect items during unloading and note any damages on the paperwork immediately.
✔ Unpack your “First-Day Box.”
Take out the essentials — food, clothes, toiletries, chargers — so you can settle in comfortably.
✔ Relax.
You did it. The hardest part is over — now it’s time to enjoy your new home and the start of your next chapter.
Make sure everything is packed, labeled, and ready to go. Disconnect appliances, secure loose cords, and clear walkways for safety. Keep your “Essentials Box” — with documents, chargers, medications, and snacks — nearby and separate from the rest of your items.
