From the years of moving, Good Movers, staff has prepared a list of moving tips, for you to use as you prepare your move.
For long haul moves make sure you label all of your cartons with your name, destination city and contact phone number.
Consider holding a garage sale or giving your unwanted items to charity.
Leave your pet with a neighbor or friend during all the activity on moving day.
Place all packed boxes against the wall away from your furniture, so as not to obstruct access for your movers.
Ensure that you declare a value on your goods otherwise your furniture will only be protected for 60 cents per lb.
Make your moving arrangements as far in advance of your moving date as possible.
If your appliances are being moved have them cleaned and disconnected from the power source before the movers arrive. Defrost your refrigerator and freezer the day before moving. Burners on the stove should be taped securely.
Keep a copy of your moving invoice, as most moves are tax deductible.
On long haul moves, ensure to check the accuracy of the inventory taken and the condition of each article at the time of loading.
