5 Things Your Moving Company Wants You to Know

Preparing for your move can be stressful with everything you need to do before you officially change addresses. However, the actual move could become unnecessarily problematic when you do things you’re not supposed to do or take care of certain tasks a bit differently.

To help make everybody’s life easier, Around Town Movers shares some important reminders:

Finish Packing before Moving Day

If you choose to do the packing yourself, you need to box everything before the big day arrives. All of your posessions should be ready for loading onto the moving truck or van when your local movers arrive. Otherwise, expect to fall behind schedule, or even pay a little extra if you need last-minute, professional packing assistance.

Do Not Transport Hazardous Items

Not everything is allowed for transportation by law. At the start, your moving company will provide a list of items, usually hazardous in nature, that shouldn’t be packed. If you do pack something on the “do not transport” list, it may delay your move.

Label Each Box Accordingly

Labeling boxes is critical to eliminate guesswork during unloading. Properly labeled items allow movers to place them in the right rooms and save you unwanted confusion later on.

Be Available for Communication

Professional movers don’t need your supervision to do the job right, but you should be within reach when necessary. Although you’re not expected to lift a finger during the move, your presence is important whenever someone needs clarification.

At Around Town Movers, we’re committed to ensuring your move, as well as its preparations, go smoothly from start to finish. To talk about your moving needs, call us at (703) 682-5922 today.
