About this guide

Who is writing this

A small editorial team that has moved many times, lost a lot of tape and learned most of this the hard way.

Plan my move

Step 01

The short story

Catalogpitallynestl is an independent guide to moving house. We started it because every moving checklist we found was either a wall of text or a sales page. We wanted a friend who had done it before and would say plainly: do this now, buy that later, ignore the rest.

Step 02

How we choose products

Every product on the trail has to pass three questions: does it remove a job, can you get it in one trip, and will you use it again after the move? If the answer to any of them is no, it does not make the page.

We are independent. We do not sell products on this site, and we do not take payment to feature one. We also do not offer removal services, so we have no reason to nudge you toward hiring anyone.

Step 03

What we do not do

We do not give legal, financial or medical advice. Our guides are general, and they are written to make a busy week feel more manageable. For anything that depends on your lease, your mortgage or your health, ask someone qualified.

If you spot a mistake or have a better trick, tell us. We update the pages when we learn something.
