Moving Day Tips: How Much Should You Help Professional Movers?

Moving day is here and the professional moving company is walking through your door. What do you do now? You might be wondering if you should help them or if you should just stay out of their way. Luckily, Shleppers professional full-service movers in NYC have plenty of experience with this. Here is what we suggest:

Don’t Leave Your Professional Movers Completely Alone

While your professional movers will be doing most of the work for you, it is best to stick around so the movers can find you if needed. Try to stay out of their way as much as you can, but also make sure they know where to find you if they have questions. If you need to leave for a little while, let the movers know so they are aware.

Provide Easy Access Inside and Outside

Moving day will go much more smoothly for everyone if your professional movers do not have to carefully navigate around the house to avoid tripping over boxes. Once you have everything packed, clear hallways, stairs, and doorways of boxes, furniture, and any other potential obstacles.

You can also help your movers by clearly indicating to them where they are able to park their truck. This is especially important if you live in a city like New York, where your movers could end up with a parking ticket or cannot find a place to park at all. It is best to look into parking beforehand so you know if you will need a permit or reservation.

Let Your Movers Know About Fragile Items

If you did your packing yourself and did not label your fragile items, be around to let your movers know which boxes or items need extra gentle handling. Do not wait until the movers are already in the process of moving your fragile items to tell them. Let them know as soon as possible, and better yet, label items as fragile as an extra precaution.

Keep Kids and Pets Away

For the safety of your children, pets, and the movers, it is best if they will be out of the way. If you can, find someone to look after your kids and/or pets while the movers are doing their job. This ensures that no one ends up tripping and getting injured, and that pets will not get loose.
