Scheduling Your Move

Good organization goes a long way to making moving day stress free.

 





Schedule your move on a day when one person from the household can be there when our movers load and unload.

If you live in a multi-housing complex, notify your neighbors that a large moving van will be parked near you home and might temporarily block driveways of parking spaces.

If moving requires use of an elevator, notify the building manager and reserve the elevator. Then let us know what hours are reserved for the movers.

Use sturdy cartons with tops and pack within a manageable weight.

Use small boxes for books; boxes should be no larger than 12" x 12" x 18".

Tape boxes closed and clearly label each one to show where it will go it will go to at delivery.

Don't use plastic bags, open containers, or baskets to pack your goods.

Empty file cabinets and desk drawers, and pack contents into small boxes.

Disassemble beds, mirrors, stereos, TVs, VCRs, washers and dryers when possible to save time.

Empty drawers of all heavy or breakable items.

If you are taking draperies and curtains with you, take them down along with wall hangings and pictures.

Keep breakable items together in one place and mark the containers "Fragile."

Do not pack perishable food items.

Upon our arrival at your current residence , please tell us of any special requests you may have and review the driver's paperwork before the move begins.

Please keep Children and pets at a safe distance.

Please note: Flammable items such as paint, gasoline, or lighter fluid may not be placed on the moving van. Safely dispose of these items before you move.
