With every move I’ve made and there’ve been many…it was the movers’ responsibility to cover the floors and take care not to hit corners, dent walls, etc. It’s their job. Snacks might be appreciated but aren’t necessary as many movers will stagger lunch breaks amongst themselves anyhow. Offering ice cold water and beverages is help and courtesy as well as designating the bathroom for their use. It’s paramount that one of the home owners and preferably both, are in the house to watch things. Moving days are some of the most stressful you will endure in your life, take yourselves out for a nice dinner when they leave and try to relax. If they’ve done a good job and were polite, nice to tip them each 20 -40 bucks as a show of appreciation.

I like your suggestion to make sure the items we want movers to pack are separated from the ones we don’t. My husband and I want to hire movers when we relocate to a larger apartment later this year since we think it would be worth the cost to save time and stress. Thanks for teaching me what steps to take beforehand to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible when we hire movers!

My family and I will be moving into our new condo, that’s why I’m currently looking for a moving company. I guess you’re right about the importance of giving away those perishable foods, propane tanks, fertilizers, and pesticides to my neighbors since these things are not allowed in the moving truck. I’d also keep in mind to consider buying insurance and understand its liability protection further.

I loved that this article empathized about offering snacks and offer your bathroom in case they need it. I can see how a treat can be something you can offer them since they will be tire form moving. If I ever move to a different house, I will definitely remember doing this for the movers.

I like the idea of protecting the house with pads and coverings before movers arrive so we can feel confident the house will be in the same condition once we get all of our stuff out of it. My wife and I are getting ready to move quickly in a couple of weeks since we left ourselves a 1-day window to move out of our old place and into the new. Prepping both homes to stay undamaged and clean would help us encourage whatever movers we find to go quickly without having to risk the property.

I liked that you mentioned the best thing you can do before moving day is declutter your home. My husband and I are thinking about moving to another city, and we are looking for advice. I will let him know about the benefits of selling or donate the items that we won’t need in our new house to travel light.

I had no idea that when moving you should remove the batteries from your devices. My husband got a job promotion and we are going to be moving to a new area. I’ll make sure that when we start packing, we remove the batteries from all the devices.

I think it’s smart to get insurance as you mentioned. That way, if anything goes wrong, it’ll be covered and you won’t have to worry about it. I’ll definitely talk to my wife about getting more insurance soon.

I need to move this upcoming spring. It is good to know that it would be smart for me to consider having a sense of humor during the move. That is good for me to know because the idea of moving seems really stressful.
