How Should I Prepare for Moving Day?
What Should Be Ready?
Unless packing service is booked, close, tape, and label all boxes before the crew arrives. Clear walkways and remove loose items from furniture.
What Access Should I Arrange?
Reserve freight elevators and loading areas, obtain building instructions or COI requirements, and confirm legal truck parking at both addresses.
What Should I Keep With Me?
Keep cash, jewelry, medication, keys, documents, chargers, and irreplaceable personal items with you rather than loading them on the truck.
What Should I Tell the Movers?
Disclose heavy, fragile, oversized, or restricted items; stairs; long carries; elevator limits; gate codes; and time restrictions before moving day.
