Moving Tips
Feel free to print these moving tips to help you during your moving process

General Moving Tips:

  • Summer is "peak" moving season. If you can be flexible about when you move, don't wait until the summer. Also keep in mind that the first and last weeks of the month are extra-busy for all movers.
  • Specify the exact date you want to move and when it will be convenient for an agent to visually survey your household and prepare an estimate.
  • Tour your house before the agent arrives. Check from attic to basement, and determine what will be moved and what will be discarded. Show your agent everything you will be moving.
  • If you plan to do the packing yourself, start collecting suitable containers and packing materials from free sources like stores or others who have just moved
  • Set packing goals and deadlines. Have all packing complete by moving day.
  • If you are being relocated at your company's request, find out what portion of your moving expenses will be paid by the company. If your company has a written moving policy, ask for a copy.
  • Designate one drawer of a dresser for sheets so that you won't have to rummage through boxes for these essentials the first night in your new home.
  • Pack your current phone book to take with you. You may need to make calls to residents or businesses back in your former hometown
  • Before packing medicine and toiletry items, make sure that their caps and lids have been tightly secured.
  • Remove bulbs before packing your lamps.


Small Items;

  • Small items are best protected and easier to move when in a box. Please limit box weight to less than 30 lbs. Items boxed by you are not insured in any way. We will make every effort to protect the belongings inside.
  • Pack heavy items in small boxes, light items in larger boxes.
  • Hanging clothes should be left on the hanger and taped together at the base of the hook, 7-10 max. For added protection, cover the clothes in a plastic garbage bag.
  • Label your boxes with either their destination or their contents. This will enable us to quickly place them in the appropriate rooms and save you time and money.
  • Place pictures in boxes between sheets and blankets to give them added protection.
  • Plates and records should be packed on end vertically rather than placed flat and stacked.

Furniture;

  • Tape all dresser and cabinet drawers. This will eliminate loose items falling out or spilling while we maneuver them during your move.
  • Don't wax or oil wood furniture before moving, because some products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting from furniture pads.


Appliances / Electronics;

  • If you don't already have one, make a list of all appliances/devices by model/serial number.
  • After you've thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda or charcoal in a sock or nylon stocking and place it inside to keep the interior smelling fresh.
  • Washing machines and dryers should be emptied and unfastened. We can assist with this, and, if needed, hook them up at your new location. Front-loading washers should be secured for moving according to manufacturer's specifications. If not, we will move them, but accept no liability for damage.
  • Refrigerators and freezers should be emptied and allowed to defrost 48 hours prior to moving.
  • Electronic items, stereos, and computers should be boxed in original boxes and packaging if possible.
  • Unplug all electronic equipment such as television sets, home computers, stereos, etc., 24 hours in advance of a move so they will be at room temperature on moving day. Moving a TV set and other electronic equipment in which heat is still retained could cause internal damage.
  • Upon arrival at your new home, let your PC "acclimate" itself to room temperature before plugging it in.
  • At destination, you might want to consider having the TV and VCR hooked up first to occupy the kids while the rest of the van is being unloaded.
