Anybody have experience or live thru an office or warehouse move?

This really isn't all that comparable because of the distance, but I managed an office expansion project where we essentially had to move everyone out, back in, out again, and then in for good.

Here are my thoughts - - take them for what they are... I would try to have a functional office setting in the new place - ie: at least the basics from a computer system standpoint so that you can still run the business. Once you are "functional" at least minimally then I would move the rest.

What little experience I have with moving physical product, equipment etc.. I would try to do that all in one shot versus a little at a time. That may just be personal preference.

Our philosophy when we were going through all of the changes was that if we could at lease answer the phones and take orders, even if there would be a little delay in the shipment due to the move we'd be better off than having a bunch of product ready to ship, but the systems were down....

It somewhat depends on how your business operates too. It'll probably be a bit painful --- ours was.

Good luck!
