Think about the Weather
Unfortunately, the weather you cannot control on a moving day. If you are moving to somewhere colder, be prepared with clothes.

If you are expecting the rain, make sure to cover all your belongings to protect it. In case you don’t have enough space in your new home for seasonal clothes, think about warehouse Kuwait where you can store all the items you won’t use.
Prepare your children for the move during the holidays
