Moving Day Tips – How to Stay Calm and Organized from Start to Finish
Plan Ahead for a Stress-Free Moving Day
Your big day is here! Whether you’re moving across Los Angeles or just down the block, the right preparation makes all the difference. iBox Moving has your back — here’s what to do to make moving day smooth and hassle-free.
1. Wake Up Early and Eat Well
Start the day with a good breakfast and a full charge on your phone. Have coffee, water, and snacks ready — staying energized is key to keeping stress low.
2. Double-Check Essentials
Keep important documents, valuables, chargers, toiletries, and a change of clothes in a personal bag. Label it clearly and keep it with you.
3. Clear Pathways and Label Everything
Make sure boxes are clearly labeled by room and stacked neatly. Clear hallways and doorways so movers can work efficiently without tripping or delays.
4. Protect Your Home
Cover floors with blankets or cardboard if needed. Let your movers know about any delicate surfaces or tricky staircases in advance.
5. Stay Available but Let Movers Work
Be on-site to answer questions, but avoid hovering. Let your movers handle the heavy lifting — they’re professionals!
6. Do a Final Walkthrough
Before leaving your old home, check every closet, drawer, and cabinet. Don’t forget behind doors or under sinks!
7. Confirm Drop-Off Plans
Give movers clear instructions on where to park and place items at the new location. If there’s an elevator or access code, share it ahead of time.

FAQ
Is iBox Moving a Licensed Moving Company? – FAQ
Are You a Licensed Moving Company?
Yes — iBox Moving is fully licensed and insured to operate both locally in Los Angeles and for long-distance moves within California and beyond. We take compliance seriously to ensure your move is protected at every step.
What Licenses Do You Hold?
- CAL-T License: Required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for household goods movers.
- USDOT Number: Issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation for interstate authority.
Why Does Licensing Matter?
Working with a licensed mover protects you from fraud, damage, and liability. It also ensures the company follows safety, insurance, and transportation regulations. Unlicensed movers may offer low prices — but the risks are high.
Are You Insured?
Yes. We carry general liability and cargo insurance to protect your belongings during transit. If you need proof of insurance, we’re happy to provide a certificate.
How Can I Verify Your License?
You can check our CAL-T number with the California Public Utilities Commission or our USDOT number on the official FMCSA website. We’re transparent — just ask, and we’ll show you.
