1. Be Available or Have a Representative
You or your representative should be available the entire day to answer the movers' questions or perhaps complete selected duties to facilitate the move, like signing paperwork. You can ask a responsible and dependable close friend, family member, or neighbor to represent you if you can't be there. It is best to move out of the movers' path, since they possess the expert skills required for the move. Just ensure they are able to reach you when they need to have clarifications or answers.
2. Clear the Route
Walk the route the movers may take from each of the exits to the moving van in advance of their arrival. For instance, you can walk from your garage, front entry, or backyard gate to the moving van. Remove any obstacles and falling hazards on these routes outside as well as inside your residence. Clear any kids toys, wires, or pieces of furniture on these paths. Blow away or maybe rake fallen leaves, rubble, or fallen branches along the walkways. Eradicating all these hazards along with obstructions assures movers may move unhampered, regardless if they cannot see the way ahead of them when they haul substantial items or move backward. Also, ensure there will be enough, convenient parking for the moving vehicle.
3. Give the Movers a Tour
Provide the professional movers a tour of your house whenever they arrive. Indicate things that require special care and those that may be difficult to move. Indicate if you have a no-pack area. You can move the things you intend to move yourself to a room or place you are able to close off. If you move them to a room, tape a "Do Not Pack" sign on the closed door.
Show the movers the restrooms they can utilize. You can even show them where they are able to find snacks and water. Let them know of all exits to increase their possibilities when moving your items to the moving vehicle. You can also point out any dangers they can experience. It's also advisable to have another walk through just after they have loaded the moving van to make certain they loaded everything.
4. Keep Pets and Children Busy and Out of the Way
Be sure that your kids are out of the movers' path as they pack and move your things. You can ask a relative, close friend, or neighbor to watch them. If perhaps they shall be at hand, ensure they've got something enjoyable to do, for example play with toys, coloring books, playing video games, using portable devices, or watching movies. You need to supervise the children, making sure they remain safe.
If you own household pets, plan how you will keep them out of the way. They are able to escape your property when movers leave your doors or gates open. You should look at boarding your household pets for moving day or leave them with a reliable friend, family member, or next door neighbor.
