Preparing for Professional Packers When It’s Time To Move

Many people think that hiring professional movers means they can just kick back and relax while the experts handle everything. While professionals can make moving a lot less chaotic, you can still do your part to help out and make their tasks more efficient.

Preparing for professional packers when it’s time to move not only helps make things easier for them, but it can help protect your belongings and simplify the unpacking process. Reliable Delivery is here to help with a few simple steps you can take to make the entire process better and easier for everybody involved.

Declutter and Sort Your Belongings

One of the best things you can do is go through your belongings and donate or get rid of things you don’t want before the movers come. Many moving companies charge based on time and materials, so condensing things can help lower your final bill. Take some time and go through each room and divide your belongings into categories of keep, sell, and throw out.

There are certain items that packers won’t handle such as hazardous materials, perishable foods, and certain documents. Ask your movers for a list of items they won’t handle so that you can pack those belongings separately.

Organize Important Items and Documents

Another big part of preparing for professional packers when it’s time to move is gathering up all of your important documents and valuables into separate containers. This container should include birth certificates, passports, insurance policies, medical files, tax returns, or any other documents you may need.

We recommend creating a special space for items you need as soon as you move. This can spare clothes, toiletries, chargers, and some kitchen utensils. Label the area so that movers know to leave these items accessible or pack them in clearly marked boxes that you can find without much hassle.

Communicate Special Requirements and Access Details

If you have any belongings that require special handling requirements, make sure you leave notes for the movers. For instance, if you have any items that are especially fragile or require special storage considerations, you’ll want to make the movers aware of this. Additionally, remember to take photos of any valuables before the movers handle them, for insurance purposes.
