You've Hired Movers - But What Can You Do?
2

• Its hard to relax and not do anything during a
  move, but thats the point of hiring movers. They
  make your job easier and less stressful.

3

• Although it may be tempting to micromanage to
  ensure the move runs smoothly and all of your
  belongings are carefully moved, this isnt
  necessary when you hire reputable movers.

4

• Micromanaging can actually make the process
  slower and more stressful for you and the movers.
  There are, however, some things you can do to
  take part on moving day.

5
Move Precious Items in the Car

• Most people micromanage to ensure fragile,
  valuable or small items are properly cared for
  when moved, but reliable movers follow specific
  guidelines and take precautions to prevent losing
  or damaging any items, especially small or
  fragile items.

• If you want added peace of mind, however, you
  can move these items yourself. Pack glassware,
  artwork, jewelry, valuable electronics, fragile
  lamps and other delicate items and move them in
  your own car.

Move the Boxes to Easily Accessible Areas

• After packing and labelling your boxes, move
  them to easily accessible corners in each room.
  Moreover, make sure your boxes are organized and
  easy to move. For example, the boxes should be
  stacked from largest to smallest with the
  largest, heaviest boxes on the bottom. To make
  the movers job even easier, remove all the items
  from your dressers and chests drawers,
  including clothing.

Provide Refreshments

• Moving items from a home to a van or truck, and
  then into a home again, can be a tough job. Its
  physically and mentally demanding, as well as
  stressful in many ways. During your move, the
  movers will work up a sweat and would likely
  appreciate any food and/or drink that you
  provide, if you care to do so. Refreshments could
  be water and/or sports drinks and small,
  energizing snacks like granola or protein bars
  and bananas.

• Of course, when it comes to hiring professional
  moving companies, Edmonton families may also want
  to just sit back and let the movers do all of the
  work for them. At Pro Service Moving, we make it
  our mission to take care of your move from start
  to finish. Call us today for an estimate!
