How To Prepare for Your Movers

We always suggest booking us for packing services to ensure that your items are ready for your big day. When you book packing services with us your items are completely packed, wrapped in blankets or saran wrap, and furniture is disassembled.

Remove items from drawers. It helps your movers and keeps your belongings safe when you pack everything into boxes. Items left in drawers have the possibility of falling out if your movers need to shift the furniture on its side while carrying it to the truck.

Lighter items = larger boxes, heavier items = smaller boxes. If you have items such as books, records, metal, or items of similar weight pack these items into smaller boxes. It reduces the weight load and makes it easier to transport.

Label your boxes. By labeling, if your boxes or heavy and/or fragile, our movers can have a better sense of how to pack your items on moving day. We also find it helpful to label your boxes by room, so when our movers arrive at your ending location, they have a better idea of where to set the boxes down.

While packing, create a path for your movers. Clearing enough space for the movers to carry items through your house ensures the safety of everyone involved. When able to, clear the pathways near door frames and entrances/exits in case your movers have to shift larger items through the doors.

Separate roommates’ belongings from your own. This will make it clearer what items the movers should take versus shouldn’t take.

Separate boxes and small items apart from larger furniture. We suggest that clients keep their boxes separate from their furniture (even if just by parting them in a room). so their movers will be able to load up the truck with ease. It allows the movers to have more discretion at what items can be loaded first and saves time.
