While the movers are working, it's important to be organized and available to ensure a smooth and efficient move. Here's a breakdown of key things to do:
Be Available and Accessible: Stay on-site and be readily available to answer questions from the moving crew. Provide a reliable phone number and respond promptly to their calls or messages.
Supervise, But Don't Micromanage: Keep an eye on the process to ensure your belongings are handled with care and placed in the correct rooms. However, avoid hovering over the movers or constantly interfering with their work. Let them do their jobs. If you have any concerns about how your items are being handled, address them with the supervisor or team leader.
Protect Valuables: Keep valuable items like jewelry, important documents, and medications with you. Don't pack them with the rest of your belongings. Consider creating a "Do Not Move" box or room and clearly label it.
Provide Clear Instructions: Clearly communicate your preferences and instructions to the movers, especially regarding fragile items or specific placement requests in the new location. Walk through the house and explain where you want each item placed at the destination. If possible, label boxes clearly with the room they belong in.
Keep Children and Pets Safe and Away: Ensure children and pets are safely away from the moving crew to prevent accidents or disruptions. It is best to keep children and pets at a neighbor's house or in a safe room where the movers will not be working.
Offer Refreshments: Providing water, soft drinks, or snacks can be a thoughtful gesture and help keep the movers energized, especially on a hot day.
Don't Get in the Way: Avoid obstructing the movers' paths or creating unnecessary obstacles. Ensure hallways, doorways, and stairways are clear.
Confirm Inventory: If the movers are creating an inventory, review it carefully to ensure it accurately reflects your belongings. Keep a copy of the inventory for your records.
Address Problems Immediately: If any damage occurs during the move, document it with photos and notify the moving company immediately. Follow their claims process for compensation.
Final Walk-Through: Before the movers leave, do a final walk-through of both the old and new locations to ensure everything has been moved and nothing has been damaged.
Tip the Movers: If you are satisfied with the service, consider tipping the movers. The amount can vary depending on the complexity and length of the move, but a general guideline is 15-20% of the total cost, split among the crew.
