How to prepare for movers (what to do before they arrive)
A little prep makes moving day faster, and on an hourly move, faster means you pay less. Here's what to have done before your crew knocks on the door:
- ✓Everything packed in boxes, taped shut, and ready to stack
- ✓Boxes labeled with the room they go to at your new place
- ✓Beds stripped and small items off of shelves and tables
- ✓Fridge emptied and defrosted, washer and dryer disconnected
- ✓A clear path from each room to the door, and a parking spot for the truck
- ✓Anything that is not going marked with a "Don't load" sign
- ✓Pets and kids set up somewhere safe and out of the way
How to prepare when movers are packing your house
If you book packing help, you don't need to box anything up. Just do these few things first so the crew can work fast:
- ✓Set aside anything you're taking yourself: medicine, documents, jewelry, and your essentials bag
- ✓Throw out or donate what you don't want packed
- ✓Point out fragile and valuable items when the crew arrives
- ✓Tell us when you book so we bring the right boxes and supplies

Empty and defrost the fridge, disconnect the washer and dryer, pack a bag with medicine, chargers, documents and a change of clothes, clear hallways, and save a parking spot close to the door for the truck.
