The Moving Day Kit
The mover is booked, the boxes are half packed, and nobody has told the long list of organizations that will keep writing to your old address.

What’s inside
- A printable kit in seven parts: the action guide, the checklists, the scripts and letters (also supplied as separate editable Word files), the worksheets, the decision tools, resources and next steps, and the mover quotes and inventory spreadsheet.
- Vetting the mover before you book: the license check, the estimate types, the questions that separate a real carrier from a broker, and the red flags in writing.
- A room by room inventory built to survive a claim, with photographs, values, condition notes and the high value list, in a spreadsheet for Excel and Google Sheets with the formulas already in.
- The change of address master list, in the order that puts money, mail and prescriptions ahead of the loyalty cards.
- Four files: a start-here PDF, US Letter, A4, and the editable set. A chapter on exactly when to stop and hire someone, naming the free official sources first. No app, no subscription, no account to create.
Who this is for
Packing lists are free everywhere. The three places a move costs real money are the mover you book, the proof you can produce if something breaks, and the admin that follows you. So the kit vets the mover before you book, proves what you owned before it moves, and redirects your admin life in the order that puts money, mail and prescriptions ahead of the loyalty cards.
There are no dates in it, so there is nothing to fall behind. Start at any stage: if you started, stopped, or already got something wrong, chapter one finds the stage you are actually at and starts there.
