Making Summer Moving Time Easier with Cablemover
Last week, we were talking about Summer Moving Tips and I introduced you to Cablemover.com. I told you how this service was so simple and you just enter your address and you are automatically hooked up to all of the moving services in your area. This week, I was given the chance to interview David Gregg, New Product Journalist, about his involvement with Cablemover.com and find out about some of his expert moving tips.

How did you get involved with CableMover?
I was introduced to the folks involved with the CableMover initiative through a friend involved in the public relations industry. CableMover.com was looking for a person capable of simplifying and communicating all of the features and benefits of their free service to the entire country via all media platforms (web/TV/radio/print).
How far in advance should one start planning a move?
Six months is probably best, but you really do need a minimum of 2-3 months in advance. This time window will allow you to purge the items you don’t need to move as well as organize all of the elements of a move in order to save money, avoid rushing, pack, pre-plan for the services you will need to disconnect in your current residence and schedule activation/connection in your new home.
What are the top five mistakes people make when moving?
- Do not proactively organize/prioritize activities involved with their move.
- Forget to make an inventory of all items being packed.
- Skip checking references (Better Business Bureau) of their moving company.
- Do not properly pack delicate items.
- People forget to schedule the disconnection of current services (cable TV, phone, internet, electric, gas, etc…) and schedule the activation of these services in their new residence.
What are the top five money saving tips for people planning a move?
- For long distance moves, use a “pack your own container service” like PODS instead of a professional moving van service.
- Negotiate the mileage rate in advance on a one way do-it-yourself moving van rental.
- Don’t buy your moving boxes. Go to your local schools and ask the janitor to save boxes for you.
- Bring your old electronics (TV’s, desktop computers, cell phones) to a big box electronics retailers (I.E. Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy) so they can responsibly recycle them for you. Many of these retailers will provide you with gift cards as a thank you!
- Go to CableMover.com and enter the zip code of the area you are moving. The results will provide you with current deals available to lock in discounts on bundling your phone, TV and internet services in your new home.
