Moving day requires extensive planning and can arrive faster than you think. If you want the smoothest relocation possible, you should focus on the preparation before the movers arrive.
Knowing what you should do ahead of time will save you from stress and uncertainty once moving day arrives. This article will cover the three things to do before movers arrive.
Set Aside Essential Items
If you are hiring movers, you still want to pack a box of essential items you will need on moving day. Set it aside in an area where movers won't accidentally load it into the moving truck.
Some of the essential items that you should consider for your travels are:
- Medications
- Phone Chargers
- Snacks
- Important Documents
- Basic Kitchen Supplies
With these things prepared in a designated box, you don't have to worry about trying to search through multiple boxes. Additionally, if you pack things like basic kitchen supplies and a change of clothing, you won't have to worry about unpacking on the first day.
Prepare Your Home For Movers
Movers can move faster throughout a home that has clear pathways from the rooms to the front door. Clear the walkways throughout your home and ensure nothing is blocking the paths.
If you have pets or children, you may want to let them stay at a friend's or family member's house on moving day. The stresses of moving day can have a big impact on children and pets, so it's best to have them stay somewhere and provide them with familiar items.
Communicate Special Instructions Early
Whether you need antique furniture crated or have a vehicle that needs shipping, you should communicate this early to the movers. Clear and early communication will ensure that the movers have the proper equipment on moving day.
Additionally, you should plan to have a walkthrough of your property and point out any fragile items. Adding fragile labels will help to ensure the movers handle the items with more care and place them gently into the back of the moving truck.
