Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From New Mexico
- Book early. Secure your mover at least 4 to 6 weeks out, especially if you're moving in summer or at the start or end of the month.
- Declutter before you pack. Every item you get rid of is one item fewer to pack, move, and unpack. Go through each room before you start boxing anything up.
- Label every box. Write the destination room and a brief description on each box. It makes delivery day faster and unpacking less chaotic.
- Set up utilities before you arrive. Contact your new utility providers ahead of time so power, water, and internet are ready when you walk in the door.
