How To Make Your Move More Efficient For Your Moving Company
Hiring a moving company is the ideal way to make your local or cross-country move successful. Professional movers help you pack your important belongings, place them on moving vehicles, then they put your items in your new home for you. In the end, your move is made much easier and you worry less about your things getting lost or broken while in transit.
While your movers do all or most of the work for you, you can do your part to make your move more efficient and fast. Do these things to make your move more efficient; your moving company will be grateful for your doing your part.
Pack the simple things
There's no need to require your moving company to pack everything in your home. Simple things, such as the items in your junk drawers, your clothing, and bathroom intimate items, can all be packed on your own without professional assistance.
In other words, if the items to be packed don't require special filler material, packing maneuvers, and other techniques to prevent breakage or keep things organized, pack these items yourself. You can simply label the boxes or bins you put these odds and ends or non-breakable items in and let your moving company remove them for you on moving day.
Keep kids and pets away
During the packing and removal process, your movers will be in and out of your home for many hours at a time. When there's ongoing family activity, such as kids in and out of the house, barking pets, and escaping cats or other indoor animals, your move not only becomes stressful for you, but stressful for your movers as well.
Remove all kids and pets while your belongings are being packed up, especially when they are being taken outside to be transported. You lessen the risk of family members getting hurt or accidentally lost during the moving process and make the transition easier for everyone involved.
Make special instructions known
If you want a certain room in your home packed last, say so. If you don't want certain items touched by a moving company, set them aside. If you have questions about how the moving process works, ask before the move begins. Communication is key to working with moving companies, and the more open you are about what you need, the better the outcome you will have for your move. Your moving company will work with you every step of the way.
