Not only is it difficult, but knowing exactly what needs be done and in what order will help put your mind at ease when your moving day arrives.

If we can offer one tip at this time though, it would be to get yourself organized well in advance, because come moving day, you will be ready to handle the whole ordeal, without worry or distraction.

Prepare With Kids
Have your kids pack a box of their special items. These are items they’ll want to have nearby as soon as you arrive at your new home. Suggest that they fill the box of special items which will make them feel like they are part of the move. Let your moving crew know about this box so it’s the first one that is unloaded at your new home. Keeping your child occupied and included are key’s to successful move with kids.

Mark and Set Aside Items Not to Move
As part of your planning process you should mark and set items aside that you don’t want to load and move. Marking these items will help remind you to tell the driver what not to load as you conduct your preload walk-though. Ensure your important paperwork pertaining to the move doesn’t get packed and shipped with your household goods.

Dump Garbage and Flammable Items
As part of your planning, it’s important to eliminate as much trash as you can before moving day. Last minute garbage will build up prior to and on the day of your move. You may ask a neighbour if you can leave some garbage in their container, or arrange with your moving company to have them dump it at a proper disposal site.

For safety reasons, moving companies will not load flammable items. Identify items that can’t be loaded and moved and properly dispose of them just prior to your move. If your uncertain, don’t hesitate to review our non-admissible items list or contact MSJ Moving West. Because movers can’t transport most household cleaners, they will be available for your to use throughout the day. Lastly, remember to clear out any crawl spaces or attics.

Reserve Your Spot
If your moving to a congested area, have some friends and family help you reserve some parking spots as close to your new home as possible. Do not move them until your moving trucks arrives. The closer you can get your moving crew closer to your new home, the quicker the move will be completed.

Point out Special Items

Water is a vital element for your moving crew. Keep some on hand for yourself and the crew. On hot days, provide cool water. These women and men work very hard handling your import items and a cool drink can really help.

Let your driver and crew know where they can locate beverages and food so they don’t have to ask each time.

Preparing your Movers
Double check all your paper work and understand it before your driver departs for your new home. If there are any outstanding items, or something that confuses you, ask your driver to explain it before you sign any paperwork.

Be sure to provide you driver with your destination contact information. Take down any information that may be provided by the driver, such as their cell, phone, pager and tracking information. Ask your driver if your shipment will be the last they will be loading and generally find out as many details as you can prior the driver leaving your residence.

Take note that if you are provided with a delivery date and time, that it’s typically only an estimate at the time of loading. Many factors can effectively alter the schedule for the driver, so remain flexible here. Ask that the driver call you with changes so that you are informed and can adjust your schedule accordingly.

One Final Check
Take one final sweep of your property before your driver leaves. Check all the closest and shelving. Check the garage if you have one, the attic and any crawl spaces and under the stairs. You don’t want to find out that something was left behind when the driver leaves.
