Answer 1

The first thing is to obviously make a game plan  

These all utility service providers have there Customer Care Centers. no one can give you accurate information then themselves.

The decision of moving to another place is however exciting, but packing up is something most of the people fear.It is better to hire professional movers if you want hazel free move and can afford it. I think since you are moving only 10-17 km away it will not cost you much. But if you have decide to move by yourself. here are some useful tips.

1)First you need Make sure that you create a complete inventory of all your belongings that you will be moving to your new address

2)Make sure you have enough help and trucks/vans to load up your boxes

3)Before you start packing up your house, decide what you really need to bring into your new home. Many things lose their value or use over the years, but you still hang on to them

4)Do not wait until the last minute for packing. Start from that room which you do not use most

3)You will need to have the following materials in order to start packing.

   Strong boxes, Wardrobe boxes, Bubble Wrap, newspaper, Markers  etc

You can find cheap  Boxes and all other packing stuff on  Box Site. They have very Interesting packages

Answer 2

Go to the post office and get a change of address order.

Call all of your utilities in advance to let them know your are moving.

All your bills should have numbers on them.

Make a checklist to keep everything on track.

Plan on spending more time doing all this than you think you will.  Sometimes things go wrong.

Be sure to get a truck lined up early, if you need to rent one.

Good luck and happy moving.
