Preparing Boxes for Moving
Before the movers come to your home, you should have your belongings ready to go. The best way to set up your boxes for a move is to place them on the lower level of your home in the largest room. Make sure to separate fragile items from non-fragile items and never forget to label each box.
Properly packing your items is another thing that needs to be done before the moving professional comes to your home. If there seems to be any packing issues, your moving professional will offer to repack the box, but this will cost an additional fee. Repacking items will slow the moving process down, so it is highly recommended that you ensure each box is packed the right way.
