Caring For Your Movers

Moving furniture and heavy items especially in the hot sun can become one of the most daunting tasks. Most movers and local moving companies are wise enough to bring their own water, but they greatly appreciate if cold drinks are available. This can also help the moving process go smoothly with a well hydrated crew.

During the packing process, for the sake of you and your movers, be sure to label boxes according to which room they belong in. Careful preparation could save you money because most moving companies charge by the hour. And furthermore, most movers hate having to carry a piece of furniture or a load of heavy boxes more than once. If your boxes and furniture items are labeled correctly, then this can greatly reduce conflicts.

Finally, if your movers did a great job and you are completely satisfied with the job, then be sure to tip them according to how well you feel they did.

Things You May Consider Before You Hire Movers

Thoroughly research the moving companies you are considering using. You can easily browse online for the services you are attempting to use. Make sure you read reviews posted by those who have used the company and also check the Better Business Bureau for ratings.

Go through your home and make a checklist of the furniture and larger items needed to be moved by the moving company. These items include: Sofas, dressers, entertainment centers, beds, desks, refrigerator, washer and dryer etc.

Create a moving file. Keep track of moving quotes from companies and other important moving related documents.

Be sure to scope out access points for your move. Ask your movers what size trucks will be used. It would be very frustrating if your movers show up and they have to carry furniture a long way.

When looking for services on the internet, you will most likely come upon websites of actual moving companies or websites that offer free moving quotes in your area. The best choice would be to first get the free quotes from a quote provider. Then after receiving calls from the moving companies, continue to search for their website online and in the Better Business Bureau.
