Helpful Tips

There are several ways you can help to make your move efficient and hassle free. Here are some of them:

Have everything packed before we arrive. We recommend using wardrobe boxes for your clothing and we’ll be happy to bring the boxes with us on the day of your move. (One wardrobe box can hold up to 2 feet of closet space.) And, if your dresser drawers are completely removable, you can leave them packed – with soft things only. If you want help with packing , give us a call at 1- 800-698-4468.

Tape your boxes well (don’t rely on the flaps to hold).

Don’t include valuable documents, jewelry, or money in the load. For everyone’s protection, we ask that you move sensitive items on your own.

Label and color code your boxes and furniture. Our crew needs to know where you want your items placed at your new location — and you’ll probably want to know what’s in each box once you’ve moved. To help us move you as quickly as possible, we recommend placing colored stickers (one color for each room) on each item you’re moving and on the walls of the room (or area) to which that item is going. To help you after we’ve left, we recommend labeling your boxes so you know what’s in them.

Help direct our crews. Plant yourself by the door so you can point our crew in the right direction. The sooner they know where things are going, the faster the move will go. Be a conscientious “air traffic controller” and, if possible, be as cheerful as you can. Moving is heavy work and a smiling face makes it lighter.

Let us do our job. Moving is what we do, and that means we know what needs to happen to transport your goods safely and most cost-efficiently. We know what items to load on our trucks, and in which order. We know how to secure your property during transport. We know when bringing in an extra crewmember (or more) will make the job less costly in the long run. In other words, we know what we’re doing and when we’re free to get on with it, your move will go more smoothly and happily.

Small electronics are happiest in the back seat of your car.

If you plan to move items of rare and/or unusual value, be sure to notify us in advance of your move date. We are always very careful with your goods, but we want to make sure you’re as protected as possible. You may also wish to check with your homeowners insurance, since you might already have coverage.

Pack a survival box (or more). Once we’ve left, you’ll need a few items to make your first few days in your new place as comfortable as possible. Some suggested “survival gear”:

  • prescription medications
  • checkbook
  • spare keys
  • back ups of your computer discs
  • linen for beds

When you book a move with us, we’ll send you a full packet of tips and helpful information that will help things go smoothly.
