What to Expect on Moving Day

Your Moving Checklist For the Big Day

The truth is, the moving day can be an extremely daunting task for anyone. However, with proper planning and good organization, you can easily survive this ordeal unscathed and ready to enjoy your new life in a new place in a new town.

Below are what to expect on moving day and how you can prepare yourself for it. By preparing early on, you can avoid chaos and lessen the stress during the big day,

Prepare for Long Day

Expect days of less sleep a couple of days before the moving day. You’ll have to wake up early to check everything is alright at the last minute. This means you’ll need enough energy to get you through the whole experience. So, days before the big day, try to get some sleep to prepare yourself not only physically, but more importantly, mentally.

Wake Up Early

It doesn’t matter whether or not you hired a reliable moving company to help you move. Expect that you’ll be joining the move – so, dress appropriately. You may want to wear something comfortable that allows you to move freely and lift things you may need to.

Communicate to Your Movers

You can plan all you want, but unexpected things may happen. So, if you’re using a moving company, make sure to check with them a day before the move the estimated time of their arrival from your location to the new location. It’s also important to figure out how you can get to your new location on the moving day – what are the best routes to take for local moving, or if you are flying for interstate move, make sure to keep track of your flight to see if there will be delays.

Moving Nightmare

It’s true that some things that may happen on the day of the move are out of our control. However, planning at least two months early before the move can give you a better sense of how the day will pan out. You can break down the needs to be done to make the move successful and less stressful.

You can make a list as soon as you start planning the move. After making your list, you go through it every time you get the chance to make sure you’re not forgetting or overdoing something.

What to Expect From Professional Movers?

On your moving day, movers will arrive on time and greet you with a friendly attitude. They will go over the moving plan and inventory to ensure everything is accounted for. The movers will then carefully pack, wrap and load your belongings, taking precautions to protect them during transportation by securing your shipment with heavy duty straps.

Throughout the day, they will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have. They will efficiently handle furniture disassembly at your origin address and reassembly at your destination address. The movers will coordinate with you throughout the process to ensure you’re not overwhelmed or stressed out. Before they leave, there will be a final walk-through and inventory check to ensure everything is in order and your furniture arranged to your preference.

After completing the furniture placement according to your preferences, the movers will take care of removing any used packing materials, such as boxes, tape, and shrink wrap. They’ll ensure that the truck is emptied and double-check that nothing is left behind. With all tasks completed and your belongings safely settled, you can wish farewell to the moving crew, knowing that your moving day has been successfully accomplished.
