On the day of your big move, you already have a huge number of things to remember. However, since your movers are going to be handling all of your precious belongings, it's important to make life as easy as possible for them so nothing gets lost, broken, or forgotten. The suggestions below will be appreciated by any moving professional.

How to Help Your Movers Without Getting in the Way

1. Clear Off the Walls

While packing up, don't forget to clear off the walls of clocks, paintings, murals, and photographs. Box these up as best you can and pack them with wadded up newspaper. Clearing the walls makes it easier for your movers to navigate narrow points like stairs and hallways, and it saves a considerable amount of time. Remove the nails that held the items to prevent injuries and damages. You don't want them gouging your movers or your expensive mahogany dresser as they trundle it down the staircase.

2. Label Valuable & Fragile Items

Let the moving company know which boxes contain fragile and/or valuable items. For instance, a cardboard box filled with your grandmother's antique china may resemble a cardboard box filled with aluminum pots and pans. Make sure your movers know which is which so they can take extra care with the fragile stuff.

3. Set Aside Moving Day Essentials

You will need certain items right away when you reach your new home or office, while other items can remain boxed for days or weeks. Set aside the essentials and box them together. That way, you won't have to ask your movers to unpack already loaded boxes before the move so you can withdraw what you'll need at the new home.
