1. Be There or Have a Representative
You or your representative should be available the whole day to answer the movers' questions as well as do specific duties to facilitate the move, like signing paperwork. You should ask a trusted and reliable close friend, family member, or neighbor to represent you if you're unable to be there. It is best to get out of the movers' path, since they have the professional skillsets required for the move. Just make certain they're able to find you whenever they need to have clarifications or answers.
2. Clear the Path
Travel the path the movers can take from each of the exits to the moving van in advance of their arrival. For instance, you can walk from your garage, front entrance, or backyard gate to the moving van. Eliminate any obstructions along with stumbling threats on these routes outside and also inside your house. Clear any kids toys, cables, or household furniture on all these routes. Blow away or rake leaves, rubble, or downed limbs along the walkways. Removing these kinds of dangers along with obstacles makes certain movers can move unhampered, even when they can't see the route before them while they haul substantial items or step backward. In addition, make certain there's adequate, convenient parking for the moving van.
3. Provide the Movers a Tour
Provide the professional movers a tour of your property after they arrive. Point out things that need to have extra care and those which may be difficult to move. Point out if you've got a no-pack zone. You should move the things you plan to relocate yourself to a room or spot you can secure. If you move them to a room, tape a "Do Not Pack" sign on the closed door.
Show the movers the restrooms they may make use of. You may also show them where they're able to grab refreshments along with drinking water. Tell them of all exits to increase their possibilities when moving your belongings to the moving truck. You can also show them any hazards they may come across. It's also wise to have another walk through soon after they have loaded the moving truck to ensure they loaded every single thing.
4. Keep Pets and Kids Occupied and Out of the Way
Make sure your children are out of the movers' path as they pack and move your things. You might ask a family member, good friend, or neighbor to watch them. If perhaps they'll be at hand, make certain they have got something enjoyable to do, like play with toys, coloring books, playing video games, using portable electronics, or watching movies. You need to keep an eye on the kids, making sure they stay safe.
Should you own household pets, plan how you will keep them out of the way. They are able to escape your home if movers leave your doors and gates open. You should look at boarding your animals for moving day or leave them with a dependable good friend, family member, or neighbor.
