Moving to a new house or apartment can seem overwhelming, especially with the amount of packing you need to complete before the big day. One of the ways to make this process as stress-free as possible is to hire a professional moving service, but creating a plan before they arrive can make the experience fast and seamless.

How to Make Moving Day a Success

1. Start Early & Pack Smart

Don't leave packing to the last minute because you may feel rushed and throw items in the wrong boxes. Start a month before the move by gathering the same sized, smaller boxes, so they stack easier and fit inside the truck. They're also more comfortable to lift. Wrap expensive items in cushioning material, so they don't break and use high-quality tape to keep all the boxes closed. 

Pack your bathroom and kitchen last because they contain items you'll need until the day before the move. Going slow and creating a list of each room that needs to be packed will ensure you have enough time to rest and relax before the move.

2. Be Ready Before Movers Arrive

Wake up early to greet the professional moving service; you don't want them waiting around for you to finish packing. To keep the momentum going, have all boxes packed and relocated to the front door before they arrive. 

Have your essentials in the back of the truck near the door so you have early access to them. Keep your items in a theme, like keeping all kitchen boxes together. Being organized will help you unpack quicker once the professional moving service drops off your items at the new location.

3. Stay Hydrated & Eat Snacks

Moving is difficult work, so stay hydrated and well-fed by keeping a water bottle and easy to grab snacks near you. Don't forget about the professional moving service because they're doing most of the heavy lifting. Offering the movers a break with protein bars, nuts, juice boxes, and bottled water will give them a quick burst of energy, which will help your move go smoother and faster.
