The Ultimate Moving Checklist for Lubbock, Texas Residents

Moving to a new home in Lubbock is exciting — but without a solid plan, it can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you're relocating within Lubbock County or moving into the area for the first time, this checklist will help you stay on track from start to finish.

8 Weeks Before Your Move

Start decluttering every room. Donate, sell, or discard items you no longer need. The less you have to move, the faster and cheaper your move will be. Begin researching moving companies and compare quotes from at least three providers. Reserve a moving truck or portable container if you plan to go the DIY route.

6 Weeks Before Your Move

Book your boxes. Don't wait until the last minute — reserve your plastic moving box rental from ReMOVE LBK to ensure availability. Start collecting important documents and placing them in a safe, clearly labeled box or folder.

4 Weeks Before Your Move

Notify key parties of your upcoming address change: your employer, bank, insurance provider, the USPS, and any subscription services. Schedule utilities to be transferred or disconnected at your old address and connected at your new one.

2 Weeks Before Your Move

Begin packing room by room, labeling every box with its contents and destination room. Pack heavier items in smaller boxes and lighter items in larger ones. If you're using ReMOVE LBK rental boxes, they arrive ready to fill — no assembly needed.

Moving Day

Do a final walkthrough of every room, closet, and outdoor area. Take photos of meter readings and the condition of the property. Keep your essentials — phone charger, medications, change of clothes — in a separate bag that stays with you, not in the moving truck.

After Your Move

Return your rental boxes. With ReMOVE LBK, you simply schedule a pickup and we'll come get them — no trips to a drop-off location. Update your address with the DMV and voter registration. Take time to explore your new neighborhood in Lubbock!

Moving doesn't have to be chaos. With the right plan and the right tools, you can make your Lubbock move as smooth as possible.
