Many of our customers are overwhelmed with planning for a move.  I have broken down the big moving "to do" list into 11 "to do" lists starting 8 weeks before moving.  I hope these help!

 

 

Moving In Checklist

·         When you arrive at your new home, check appliances, utilities and heating/cooling systems to prevent unpleasant surprises.  Arrange for repairs if necessary.

·         Make sure your new phone service is working and that you can receive mail.

·         Clean your new home and get ready for your UNIT to arrive.

·         When your UNIT portable storage container arrives, show the driver where you want it placed.

·         Start unloading, but remember you have days or weeks or as long as you need to unload.  This is one of the many benefits of using a portable storage container when moving.

·         Remove "last load" and "essential boxes" first. 

·         Start unloading and placing furniture and boxes in the designated room.  Now the floor plan and box labeling really pays off.

·         Setup essentials first (i.e. microwave, coffee maker, alarm clock, beds).

·         Setup kitchen and bathrooms first.  Once these rooms are functioning, you can focus on the rest of the house at a more relaxed pace. 

·         Have some fun.  Take time to enjoy your new surroundings.  Help the kids and pets get settled in their new home.

·         After your goods are unloaded, contact UNITS at 414-486-UNIT (8648) to have your portable storage container picked-up.

·         Make sure the UNIT is swept clean of debris, unlocked and accessable to our delivery truck.  On the day of pick-up make sure the UNIT is unlocked!

 UNITS Mobile Storage of Milwaukee wants to thank you, once again, for your business.  It was a pleasure being you portable storage container company!

Spread the word about how easy it was to move with UNITS.  We will offer a discount to friends and family members of our previous customers!  Have them call us at 414-476-8648 and ask for the "friends and family" discount.
