Packing and moving efficiently is a key skill for professional movers. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Before the Move:
Pre-move estimate:
Work with the client to understand the scope of the move (size of home, distance) and provide an accurate estimate.
Inventory and categorization:
Create a detailed list of the client’s belongings, categorizing them by room and fragility.
Gather packing supplies: Ensure you have enough boxes (various sizes), packing paper, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, furniture pads, tape, and markers.
Packing Day:
Clear communication:
Discuss the plan with the client, addressing any concerns and answering questions.
Disassemble furniture:
Carefully disassemble large furniture items to ensure safe transport and reassembly at the new location.
Packing techniques:
Use proper packing techniques for different items:
Dishes: Wrap individually with paper and pack upright in cushioned boxes.
Clothes: Pack in wardrobe boxes or suitcases for hanging items, folded clothes go in regular boxes.
Electronics: Wrap electronics in bubble wrap and pack in their original boxes if possible.
Fragile items: Use plenty of cushioning for valuables and fragile items.
Labeling: Clearly label every box with the destination room and a brief description of the contents.
Moving Day:
Load the truck:
Load the truck strategically, placing heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter ones on top. Use furniture pads and tie-down straps to secure furniture in the truck.
Inventory check: Double-check the inventory list to ensure everything is loaded onto the truck.
Transport and unload: Carefully transport the client’s belongings to the new location and unload the truck, placing boxes in designated rooms.
Additional Tips:
