Needing some tips that will help your move go smooth for move day?
Before the Movers Arrive, Pack a Survival Kit: Keep your medications, chargers, toiletries, important documents, and a change of clothes in a personal bag in your car so they don't get buried in the moving truck.Clearly Mark Boxes: Label every box on the top and sides with the destination room and a brief list of contents. Put a sign on the door of the new house matching those rooms so movers know exactly where to put them.
Set Apart "Do Not Move" Items: Gather your personal luggage, cleaning supplies, and pets, and put them in a dedicated space (like your own car or a specific bathroom) so they don't accidentally get loaded onto the truck.
While Movers are Working, do a Morning Walkthrough: Walk through your empty house with the lead mover to confirm exactly what is and isn't coming before they start.
Stay Out of the Way: Experienced movers recommend letting the professionals do their jobs. You are paying them to work, and attempting to carry items alongside them can slow them down or increase the risk of injury.Provide Refreshments: Offering a cooler with bottled water, sports drinks (like Gatorade), and a few snacks (or offering to buy them lunch if it’s an all-day move) is highly appreciated and keeps morale high.
At the Destination, Direct the Flow: Designate one person to stand near the door of your new home and direct the movers on which room each box belongs in.Check for Damage: Before the movers leave and you sign the paperwork, do a quick visual check of your large furniture pieces and electronics to ensure everything arrived safely.
