What to Do When Movers Are Packing

Careful preparation for moving day is paramount to prevent chaos and missing items.

Moving to a new home is among the most stressful situations when it’s unplanned. Hiring a moving company is an excellent alternative to get the much-needed extra help, especially for residents moving from a large house.

Here are some things residents can do while the movers pack so the process runs smoothly.

Collaborate with the movers

Hiring a professional moving company for all the heavy lifting doesn’t mean residents won’t have to do their part. While it’s essential to let the movers do their job and disturb them as little as possible, it’s also necessary to stay close enough in case they have any questions.

Provide hassle-free access

Movers will handle the heavy loads professionally, ensuring no furniture or appliance gets damaged. For this to happen, residents also must do their part. Remove unnecessary items so the movers have a clear pathway to take things to the moving truck. Additionally, saving a parking spot at the front of the house so the movers can have easy access is also a plus.

Double-check everything

Make sure not to leave anything behind. Double-check drawers and cabinets after the movers have removed every box to ensure everything is in the truck.

Offer refreshments

Carrying boxes and appliances around is a tiresome task, even for professionals. Offer refreshments to the movers, so they can take a break and catch their breath.

Trust the movers’ experience

Professional moving companies have made thousands of moves and have already dealt with the most peculiar situations. Please do not tell them what to do or how to handle certain items. Their training includes how to handle different items safely.

Keep valuable items in the car

When packing a home, residents must prioritize the items designated for the moving truck, such as large appliances, furniture, and boxes with clothes. For valuable items, including artwork, small appliances, and jewelry, it’s best to pack them in the car.

Also, it’s a good idea to consult the moving company about which items are not allowed in the truck. Occasionally, companies don’t transport perishable or flammable items.

Have the payment ready

Planning the payment method ahead of time is the best way to prevent unnecessary delays. Residents who want to pay in cash must have enough money to pay the movers as soon as every item is out of the truck.

Let’s move in!

Careful preparation for moving day is paramount to prevent chaos and missing items. Hiring a professional company is the best alternative when planning for the big day. Expert movers can load everything into a truck and unload it into the new house without delays or damaged items.
