1. Be Available or Have a Representative
You or your representative need to be around the entire day to answer the movers' questions as well as conduct certain duties to facilitate the move, like signing paperwork. You could ask a responsible and reliable friend, family member, or neighbor to represent you if you can't be onsite. It's always best to move out of the movers' path, given that they have the expert skills necessary for the move. Just make certain they can find you whenever they need to have clarifications or answers.
2. Clear the Route
Travel the route the movers can take from all exits to the moving truck prior to their arrival. For example, you can walk from your garage, front entrance, or backyard gate to the moving van. Remove any obstructions along with stumbling dangers on these routes outside as well as inside your home. Clear all toys, cables, or pieces of furniture on these paths. Blow away or sweep leaves, debris, or fallen limbs over the walkways. Doing away with these kinds of hazards along with obstacles ensures movers will move freely, even if they cannot see the path ahead of them as they hold large items or step backward. In addition, make sure there's adequate, convenient parking for the moving van.
3. Provide the Movers a Tour
Give the professional movers a tour of your residence whenever they arrive. Indicate items that need to have extra care and those that can be difficult to move. Discuss should you have a no-pack zone. You should move the belongings you will relocate yourself to a room or area you can close off. In the event you move them to a room, tape a "Do Not Pack" sign on the shut door.
Show the movers the bathrooms they may use. You may also show them where they may get snacks and drinking water. Tell them of all the exits to increase their possibilities when moving your belongings to the moving truck. You might also point out any challenges they can encounter. It's also wise to have another walk through just after they've loaded the moving vehicle to ensure they packed everything.
4. Keep Pets and Kids Occupied and Out of the Way
Be sure that your youngsters are out of the movers' way while they pack and move your belongings. You could potentially ask a relative, friend, or next door neighbor to watch them. If perhaps they'll be at hand, ensure they have got something exciting to do, like play with toys, coloring books, playing video games, using handheld devices, or watching movies. You need to watch over the youngsters, making certain they stay safe.
If you own domestic pets, plan how you'll keep them out of the way. They can escape your premises if movers leave your doors and gates open. You should think about boarding your animals for moving day or leave them with a trusted good friend, family member, or neighbor.
