The following moving day tips will help when planning the move to a your new home.  It is important to have the actual moving day well organized.  Hiring a moving company can make an otherwise hectic relocation faster, safer, and more efficient.  Professional movers will handle the heavy lifting, but there are ways you can make the process even smoother.  Below are a few moving tips you can do before and during the move.

Simplifying Your Moving Experience:

Prepare Your Home:

Your home should be clean for the next occupants.  We all appreciate a clean house to move into.  Moving can be hectic with people coming and going.  You should consider laying tarps or blankets in traffic areas to avoid tracking dirt or causing damage.  An finally, when the move is completed, double check your home just to make sure everything is in order.

Planning Out Your Logistics:

First, you and your moving company should work out the details of the move before hand.  Everyone should be on the same page.  Will there be an area for loading and unloading?  If you need to use an elevator, will your items fit?  Can your furniture fit thru the doorways and up any stairs?  How long is the transit time between locations?  And will the movers need to pick up any additional items from another location?  In conclusion, the more you plan the easier it will be to keep everyone on schedule.

Packing and Organizing Ahead of Time:

Most times you will be responsible for the packing and labeling of your boxes.  Make sure you use plenty of packing material to avoid damage and do not over pack your boxes.  When the movers arrive, your boxes should be properly packed.

All boxes should be labeled with their contents and where in the house it is to be placed.  Also, it is a good idea to add a label to let the movers know if the contents are fragile.  If possible, dissemble furniture to make it easier to move.

If you are not able to be on location for your moving day, you should provide the movers a detailed floor plan.  This way they will know the placement of the furniture, and how you want boxed items to he handled.  You may want to unpack your personal items yourself, or have the movers handle everything.  Finally if you want your movers to handle the entire process.  You need to locate a moving company that does White Glove Service.
