If you’re hiring professional moving services for your Maple Ridge area residential move, here are a few tips to help save you time and money! When you label your boxes efficiently and get everything organized before the movers arrive, they’ll be able to keep moving at top speed through loading and unloading your household.
Label Efficiently
The more complete an inventory you include on the outside of the box, the easier it will be for you to unpack it later. What matters to your movers, though, is that every box is clearly labeled on the top and at least one side with the destination in your new home. If the box contains something fragile and you’re concerned about crushing, label it “FRAGILE” on top, so they know not to place something heavy on top of it. It’s also a good idea to mark extra heavy boxes so your movers can see what needs to be loaded in first.
Stage As Best You Can
Ideally, you’d stage all the boxes in the household in one area on the same level as the door you want the movers to use. You may not have enough space or the physical ability to do that and your movers understand that. What you can do to make things easier for them is to keep the furniture in each room accessible and stack boxes so that they can grab the heaviest ones first.
Don’t Forget Outdoor Items
If you are moving outdoor items like patio furniture or a grill, be sure they’re protected fro the weather before moving day so your movers don’t have to spend extra time getting them dry for loading into the truck. If you’re moving live plants, be sure your mover knows that in advance. If you surprise them with a patio full of potted plants on moving day, there may not be enough space for them all.
