Tips to make your move go more smoothly
Reserve all elevators, loading docks or parking areas for adequate time
periods. I can't stress this enough. Condo associations are very often
extremely sensitive about this. I could tell you stories...
Plan ahead.
Trust me -- it's going to take longer than you think, so don't wait until
the last second. (I know this from personal experience).
Note the contents of each box with a magic marker, whether or not it is
fragile, and in which room it will be placed at the destination.
Tape all cartons carefully on both top and bottom. Double tape boxes that
will be carrying heavy items like books.
Stuffed animals, soft items and sweaters can be packed in large trash
bags. This helps to save space and helps the packing process go faster.
Disconnect all electronic equipment and wiring prior to moving day, and
try to pack components in their original boxes if possible.
Please disassemble all particle board and pressed wood pieces prior to
moving, if you would like them to survive the move. Otherwise, these pieces
are unsturdy and prone to cracking with even small movements.
Complete all packing prior to my arrival. I can help pack items if you'd
like, but you'll have to request this before I give you my quote.
Be happy! You've got a buddy with a truck to make your move go smooooth!
