Moving can be one of the most stressful times for any family. Stop and Store Harrisburg have produced a series of articles with moving and storage tips to help keep the process as smooth and problem free as possible.
Six Weeks Before Your Move
Moving Date
Confirm your moving date then notify your landlord if you are renting.

If using friends instead of movers confirm with them and plan some drinks/snacks.
Storage
Reserve some storage space if needed.
Utilities
Arrange final readings on utilities.
De-clutter
Start getting rid of some possessions instead of moving everything.
Two Weeks Before Your Move
Packing materials
Buy boxes and packing tape.
Start Packing
Start packing non-essentials and out of season clothing.
