Moving day can be a stressful time, but with the right preparation, it can be a breeze. Before the movers arrive, make sure you have all your belongings securely packed in sturdy boxes and containers. If you have any items that are particularly heavy or require extra attention, make sure to point them out to the movers. Additionally, it's a good idea to separate any items that you plan to move yourself and mark them with a sign that says “Do Not Pack”.
When the movers arrive, greet them at the door and give them a tour of the house. It's also important to provide them with seamless access and offer them soft drinks. To ensure a smooth move, it's best to keep children and pets away from the moving company. Additionally, valuable items should be kept in your car.
