What to Do Before Your Movers Arrive
Moving can be exciting! Unfortunately, it also comes with its own unique set of stresses. Whether you are moving cross-country or just across town, a move requires a great deal of work. You’ll spend time packing up your belongings, transporting them, and lugging them into your new place. Hiring professional movers can be a big help simply because they are the ones who are doing all of the heavy lifting.
Know What Can and Can’t Be Moved
Professional moving companies won’t move just anything. Many will have lists of items they cannot transport simply for safety reasons, including paints, household chemicals, and liquids. They will often have a list of things they won’t move simply for liability reasons, such as cash, important documents, photographs, food, pets, and medicine.
Have a Packing Plan
Before your moving day arrives, you need to first determine whether you or the moving company is the one responsible for packing and unpacking your stuff. If you are the one doing all the packing, make sure you use plenty of bubble wrap or moving blankets as padding. This is important because if what you pack gets damaged during transport, the moving company may not be held responsible for it.
Have Insurance
Immaterial of whether or not you choose to use a moving company, make sure that your belongings are protected financially. Accidents can happen every now and then, so it’s best to have a security net in case something breaks or gets lost in transit.
Prepare Drinks and Snacks
Professional moving companies frequently have packed schedules. This is especially true during the summer when more people tend to move. So they don’t often have much time for lunch breaks or to make a quick trip to a convenience store to buy a drink, so try to offer them refreshments on the day. It’s also important for your family to have drinks and snacks prepared in order to handle the trip and move more readily.
