Do you want to know some of the most important things regarding your move? No problem. Here are five very important things to consider when you are going to move long distance:

1. It is vital that you get your moving estimate in writing. A verbal estimate just isn't good enough, you need to have it in writing exactly what your moving estimate includes and doesn't include.

2. Make sure you arrange adequate insurance cover for your move - so that you're covered for every eventuality. The last thing you want when moving long-distance is to find your prized possessions arrive damaged, or worse, they don't arrive at all. With insurance, at least you'll be covered if something does go wrong.

3. You can find out what to expect by researching the state that you are moving to. Different States have different laws and you may find that things are very different to what you're used to. Check the State Government website for the State you're moving to and make sure you're prepared.

4. Run down your food stocks, especially in the freezer - you can't move frozen food long distance after all!

5. Make sure you have a really good sort out - so that you don't take things you no longer need with you. You can take this chance to go through your things in order to find the stuff that you don't need anymore. Separate the things that you will sell from the ones that you will give away. Have a garage sale, and put together a box for charity.
