Moving Checklist
A clear, week-by-week plan to keep your move on track — built from how we move hundreds of Philadelphia metro families every year.
8 Weeks Out
- Book your move date with Albo Moving — early birds get 5% off with 3 weeks' notice.
- Reserve your moving truck size (16ft, 20ft, or 26ft) based on your inventory.
- Request time off from work and confirm your lease/mortgage dates line up.
- Start collecting moving supplies — boxes, tape, bubble wrap, wardrobe cartons.
4 Weeks Out
- Declutter room by room — donate, sell, or toss what you won't bring.
- Reserve storage if there's a gap between your move-out and move-in dates.
- Notify schools, doctors, and vets of your upcoming address change.
- Book packing service if you'd rather not pack yourself — we wrap, box, and label everything.
2 Weeks Out
- Submit a USPS change-of-address or update it online.
- Transfer utilities (electric, gas, water, internet) to your new address.
- Update your address on bank accounts, insurance, and subscriptions.
- Confirm parking / elevator reservations at both buildings for moving day.
1 Week Out
- Pack an essentials box — toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, snacks.
- Disassemble large furniture, or schedule our dis/re-assembly service.
- Label every box with its destination room.
- Confirm your move time and crew size with Albo Moving.
Moving Day
- Keep valuables (documents, jewelry, meds) with you — not in the truck.
- Do a final walkthrough of every room, closet, and drawer before leaving.
- Take photos of your old place for move-out condition records.
- Meet the crew, review the inventory, and tip for great service if you're happy.
