A 30-day moving checklist for a Kerala house shift
What to do 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before the truck arrives — the list our move planners actually use.
- 30 days before
- 14 days before
- 7 days before
- 1 day before
30 days before
- Book the survey and fix the date in writing.
- Tell your apartment association — most need a week's notice for a service-lift slot.
- Decide what is not travelling: sell, donate or scrap it now, because you pay to move volume.
- If you are claiming reimbursement, tell us so we issue an IBA approved bill.
14 days before
- Cancel or transfer gas connection, broadband and newspaper.
- Collect school and medical records.
- Start using up food in the fridge and the store cupboard.
- Photograph anything valuable or fragile — a dated photo settles any argument later.
7 days before
- Confirm the lift slot and the parking spot for the truck at both ends.
- Set aside an 'open first' box: chargers, medicines, a change of clothes, basic tools, toilet paper.
- Back up your computers.
- Arrange cash or UPI for the advance payment on loading day.
1 day before
- Defrost the fridge — it must be dry, or it will smell by the time it lands.
- Keep jewellery, documents and cash with you, never in the truck.
- Charge your phone. Loading day is a phone-heavy day.
- Keep the signed inventory sheet with you, not in a box.
