Moving Day Checklist

Book your movers (Maloney's Moving — call (856) 223-7940)

Start decluttering — donate, sell, or discard items you don't need

Begin collecting packing supplies (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, markers)

Label every box with room name and general contents

Update your address with USPS, banks, subscriptions, and insurance

Arrange parking permits for moving day if needed

Confirm your moving date and arrival time with your movers

Separate important documents, medications, and valuables to carry yourself

Finish packing remaining rooms — leave out only daily essentials

Disassemble furniture or mark items for movers to disassemble

Pack an "essentials" box: toiletries, phone charger, change of clothes, medications, snacks, water

Take photos of electronics setups for easy reconnection

Confirm utility shutoff/transfer dates

Do a final walkthrough — check all closets, cabinets, and drawers

Strip beds and pack bedding

Clear walkways and protect floors for the movers

Point movers to fragile, heavy, or high-value items

Keep children and pets safe and out of the work area

Have payment ready (cash, check, or card)
