When is the best time to plan your move?
We always recommend to plan your move and reserve a spot in our schedule 2-3 weeks before your moving date. Also you will have enough time to pack some of your stuff, throw away unnecessary things and make a moving checklist. Statistically, the last days of every month and weekends are the busiest work days for us.
How can I save on my move?
As we charge our clients hourly good ways to save time and money include: disassembling furniture, unhooking appliances, having boxes packed and taped ready when we get there, bringing any small fragile items such as pictures and plants in a personal vehicle, reducing clutter prior to the move.
Boxes and Label
Box everything up room by room, and label as much as possible (i.e.-bedroom 1, 2 or 3, kitchen, living room, etc.). Be sure to mark breakables with a fragile marking and keep in a separate area as this will allow us to place your fragile items/boxes in an appropriate space in the truck.
Appliances
When moving appliances such as televisions or stereo systems, it is ideal to pack them in the box or packaging the product originally came in. This will guarantee a sure fit and greatly helps in transport. Also, be sure to tie and/or tether any cords.
Fragile Items
Please pack lampshades and other fragile items in well-packed boxes. We pack our trucks tightly and although we are extremely careful, fragile items need to be packed accordingly. Also, taping boxes top and bottom greatly increases structural rigidity and ensures safe transport.
Kids and Pets
If you have young children, it is best to make arrangements for them to stay with family or a sitter during the move hours. Also, lock up cats and dogs in a bathroom, crate or yard. As much as we love pets, they just aren’t as helpful as they may think they are when it comes to moving your belongings.
Apartments and Condos
For apartment and condo moves or in a building with limited parking, please try to reserve space for the trucks in an easily accessible location. Also, in the event that elevators will be used, please reserve time where it can be locked open, which will speed up our pace considerably, saving you time and money!
Lastly, we understand that moving is not cheap. If you are on a budget, preparation is key! The better you’re prepared, the less time it will take. Don’t hesitate to contact us in case of any questions. You can reach us everyday.
