Packing Services for Moving

Packing can take longer than moving.

If you have a large home, packing up everything, from dishes to doormats, can take many hours. And packing correctly can take days. For those who don’t have time to spend on packing, there are packing services that specialize in packing for moves. They’ll come to your home and prep, pack, package and seal your stuff into moving boxes for moving day.

Types of Moving Packing Services

There are four types of packing services for moving: (1) moving companies, (2) packing services, (3) contractors, and (4) delivery services.

Moving Companies – Many moving companies offer packing services in addition to moving services (i.e. loading, driving). If you need help packing, ask your moving company if they offer packing services before you sign the contract.

Packing Services – You-pack companies and truck rental services do not offer packing help. If you are using one of those services, you might need to hire separate packing help.

Contractors – There are many independent contractors out there who can help you pack. You can find them in online classifieds, in the phone book or through a friend. In each case, you’ll set a price, and they’ll come pack for you.

Pack – When work begins, packers will put your stuff into the right type of moving boxes.

Disassemble Furniture – Packers will disassemble your furniture where necessary, and package it to protect it for the move.

Label / Separate – Labeling is an important part of packing, and a packing service will do it in a professional manner. They’ll also separate goods as per your request; so, if there are things you want to take with you personally, they’ll make sure you are able to.

Prep – Finally, packers will prep your boxes and items in an area for easy loading on moving day

MOVERS’ MOVING TIPS

With moving day approaching, there’s so much to do it can be overwhelming. But with a little planning, it doesn’t have to be. Follow this schedule to make your move as smooth as possible

15-30 DAYS BEFORE YOUR MOVE…

Eliminate everything you don’t want to move.

Prepare an inventory of everything you plan to move.

Determine “replacement value” for insurance purposes.

Notify the post office that you are moving.

Make arrangements for medical, dental, or veterinarian records.

Inquire about auto licensing and auto insurance, if moving out of state.

Notify your children’s school and make arrangements for records.

Return any local cable equipment.

Arrange to disconnect utility services and connect utilities at your new residence.

2-7 DAYS BEFORE YOUR MOVE…

Get rid of garbage and flammable items. Garbage will get in the way and flammable items cannot be carried by the crew. Consult your moving coordinator if you are uncertain about any products.

Reserve a parking space for the moving truck. The closer the truck can get to your door, the better your chances of not incurring increased labor or long carry charges.

Clear walkways so movers can safely and efficiently get in and out unobstructed.

In a special box, pack items you will need immediately at your new residence.

The Day Before Your Move…

Take down curtains and curtain rods.

Empty and defrost your refrigerator and freezer, let them air out at least 24 hours.

Finish packing your personal things (Leave out the alarm clock!)

Get a good night’s sleep and wait for your Movers crew to arrive

MOVING DAY…

Make special cartons labeled “DO NOT MOVE” for items not being moved.

Pack special items for the kids. Point out this box to the driver so it’s one of the first to be unloaded.

Remove all keys from desks or safes and keep them in a safe place.

Point out special items. Once the movers arrive, point out any items needing special concern or instructions.

Clearly explain these to the foreman during your walk-through so he can properly plan for their care.

Take care of your driver and crew members. Advise the foreman and crew where to locate drinks and which restroom you would like them to use. This way they don’t need to ask each time.

Before leaving the house, check closets, cupboards, cabinets, and all rooms. Make sure you have locked all doors and windows.

Before the crew leaves, make sure you understand all the paperwork you are signing. If there is something confusing to you, ask the foreman to explain it before you sign it. Provide the foreman with your destination contact information.

For those looking to do the packing themselves, here are a few helpful tips:

Dispose, sell, or donate unwanted articles prior to moving to streamline packing.

Loosely wrap glass, stoneware and all fragile items using two layers of plain paper or (ecofriendly) cloth (Clean socks work well!).

Wrapping items in newsprint may leave stains on certain items, so it’s best to use newsprint for things that can be wiped off easily, like cutlery or certain ceramics. Pack all loose items in boxes, not bags.

Tape boxes across tops and edges and label them clearly according to room placement at your new location. This will make unpacking that much easier!

Label and place screws and small parts from disassembled furniture and equipment in small clear plastic bags. There’s nothing more annoying than trying to assemble furniture only to realize you’re missing half the screws, so make sure you think ahead.

Transport jewelry, money and valuables in your own vehicle. For your more precious (and fragile) possessions, M&M Movers recommends keeping them with you at all times during the move.

Organize and label electronics and cables before your move for easy set up at your new location. Cables have a tendency to become extremely tangled, so taking steps to minimize this will save you some grief when it comes time to unpack.

Pack food securely in sealed bags for extra protection. Moving can take a lot out of you, so we suggest packing some snacks in your Essentials box, to keep your blood sugar and mood up throughout.

Pack and clearly mark a box for ESSENTIALS that you will need immediately when you reach your new location.
