If you plan on getting new furniture for your new home, as that it be delivered and set up in your new location. A friend of mine ordered new bedroom furniture that was very heavy. She thought she would have some help on moving day. She was wrong.

The furniture was delivered to her old house in boxes. She had to move it, sight unseen, to the new location, drag it up the stairs, and set it up herself. Have your purchases sent to the new house, so that you won’t have to store it until moving day or have to lug it around yourself.
