The first moving tip that we want you to remember as you prepare for your move to St. Louis is to select your moving date up to two months ahead of time. This is necessary as, if you plan to use the services of a moving company, you’ll need time to prepare. If you intend to use a moving company, this is the time to get estimates. If you plan to take on the process on your own, you’ll want to start looking into rental truck costs at this time. Have your moving date confirmed so that you can make the necessary reservations.

Secondly, create a file to house all of your moving documents up to two months ahead of your move. This way, your estimates, receipts, and other important forms will all be well-organized and handy. Additionally, now is the time to speak with your medical providers and secure referrals as well as your medical records. Protect these important documents by carrying them with you on the day that you move. Good luck!
