Before
You Move, Get Moving Online
The
Web offers tools & tips on packing, moving and settling in
-
to help make the whole moving process easier than ever before.
Gone are the
days of letter writing, making endless phone calls, or relying
solely on friends and neighbors for advice to help prepare for
that big move.
Online, you
can read expert guides and visitor reviews, take advantage of
interactive tools & calculators, and get help with practically
everything else you need — from U.S.
change-of-address forms to cyber greeting cards that announced
your move to the world.
Get Online
When surfing
the Net, a good rule of thumb is the bigger the site, the better
the resoures.
Click over
to the Century
21 Moving & Relocation Guide, for example, for loads of
helpful tips on getting organized, packing up and a related list
of to-do's. Also check out an array of interactive features -
like a tool to help size and place your furniture, as well as
an entire mini-site devoted to moving
with kids.
Surf over
to Mayflower
Moving Tips, as well, to find reminders on what most licensed
operators won't allow on their moving vans (e.g., hazardous materials,
such as sterno and paint thinner) along with a really helpful
checklist of ten
most forgotten items by families on moving day. For
a list of questions to ask your mover before the big day, and
other money-saving how to's, Moving.com
also offers lots of additional expert help.

Moving Resources
In your hunt
to find hidden gems, don't be afraid to move beyond the obvious.
While Epinions.com is generally regarded as a shopping guide it
also features very frank visitor reviews on U.S. nationwide moving
companies, along with forum
posts on such slippery topics as how to relocate an aquarium
tank.
Finally, make
sure you also avail yourself of 'been there' advice by experienced
hands found in online forums such as CityData.com,
and MovingScam.com.
It's always
wise to have a couple of "good connections" when you
move.
Next time,
make them online!
