Keeping this in mind will help make the unpacking process much smoother when one has settled down in their new place.

 

7. Switching Services and Utilities – When approaching the moving date, services should be moved to the new home. Internet, cable, postal service and the sort, should be notified of the move and have them turned off at the old place.
