Frequently Asked Questions
What checklists should I start with first?
The first moving company checklist you should start with is Alllied's Checklist for Selecting a Mover. This checklist will help you choose a reputable company for your upcoming move. Once you're ready to start packing and preparing for your move-out date, use our Moving Into a New Home Checklist.
How far in advance should I start my moving checklist?
If you're planning a local move, you should start using the checklist at least four to six weeks before your move-out day. Long-distance and cross-country moves are more labor-intensive. If you need a long-distance moving checklist, consider downloading a checklist two to three months before your move-out day.
Can I print these checklists?
Yes, we have printable PDFs for certain checklists. Printing checklists and infographics can help you stay organized and on track to finish tasks before move-out day.
How do I know which moving checklist to use?
The first step is to assess your needs and determine the type of move. Long-distance, cross-country, and international moves will require a different checklist than a local move. If you're moving with children or pets, there are additional steps you'll need to take to ensure the moving process is as seamless as possible for everyone involved.
How do I organize my moving checklist for a family?
If you're planning a move with a family, you'll want to break up the tasks so they're easier to manage. If you're moving with children or pets, there are additional to-dos you'll need to prioritize to ensure the move is as streamlined as possible.
