Moving Tips: Everything You Need to Know for a Safe and Efficient Move

Why do we wrap your furniture with moving blankets?

We use moving blankets to protect not only your furniture but also your walls and floors from scratches and damage during the moving process. It’s an essential step to ensure everything arrives in perfect condition.

Why do we wrap your furniture in plastic wrap?

Plastic wrap is used for added stability, especially on delicate or lightweight furniture. It helps reinforce weak areas and prevents drawers from opening during transport, avoiding accidents and damage.

How is the moving truck organized?

We load the truck in a strategic order: first the boxes, then we fill in smaller spaces with compact items, and finally, we load large pieces like dressers, beds, and sofas. This ensures maximum space efficiency and protection.

How can you make your move faster?

To speed up your move, place all your packed boxes in a separate area near the entrance. This gives our movers more space to maneuver and keeps things flowing smoothly.

How to avoid damage to your boxes?

Never pack glass or fragile items without protection. We highly recommend using bubble wrap for anything delicate and clearly labeling those boxes as Fragile. This lets the movers know to handle them with extra care.

How heavy can my boxes be?

Boxes with books or heavy materials should not be filled to the top. Try lifting them as you pack—if it feels too heavy, remove some items. Remember, overly heavy boxes may require two movers to handle safely.

Can I help load the truck?

Unfortunately, no. While you might think it speeds things up, it actually disrupts our process. We follow a specific loading protocol to ensure everything fits properly and securely. Please let our trained movers handle it.

What’s faster: loading or unloading?

Loading usually takes longer because we must organize everything carefully to fit and prevent damage. Unloading is typically quicker since items are simply being placed in your new home.

How long will my move take?

Every move is different. The total time depends on factors like narrow hallways, stairs, distance to the truck, and tight doorways. These obstacles can affect the speed, so plan accordingly and be flexible.

Can movers work while running?

No. Running while carrying heavy or bulky items is dangerous. Our team works at a safe, steady pace to avoid accidents and ensure your belongings remain intact. Patience is key to a successful move.

How fast does the moving truck go?

Moving trucks usually travel at an average speed of 55 mph. They are not as fast as regular cars due to safety and legal regulations.

Why can’t I help the movers?
For your safety and ours, we don’t allow clients to assist. Moving involves risks that require professional training. Let our qualified movers do the job—they’ll get it done as quickly and safely as possible.
