After spending weeks or even months planning and packing up your stuff in preparation for moving day, your hard work will eventually be rewarded when the workers arrive with the moving truck and start to load your stuff. You won’t be expected to roll up your sleeves and help with loading the truck, but there are some things you can do to help. What follows is a look at some of the small things you can do to help the Mississauga, ON movers to do their jobs.  

Pack & Label Boxes Before Moving Day 

One thing you should do, if you want to help the movers, is to pack and label your boxes before they get there. Few things will slow down the process more than their having to wait around and burn time as you hurriedly pack, tape and label boxes. Start the process of packing and labeling weeks or months beforehand to ensure you have enough time to do it properly. Another benefit of labeling your boxes is that it will help the movers to know where to put things when they start to unload the moving truck at your new residence. Much time and effort can be saved if you pack and label in advance – so make sure that you don’t overlook this important step.  

Keep Distractions to a Minimum 

Just about anything can be a distraction, but there are some things that can really slow the process down or even create an unsafe environment. If you have young children, ensure that they aren’t in the area where the movers are working. With movers going back and forth with heavy furniture and equipment, the area will be no place for young children. If a room has been emptied, you might confine them there for a time until the coast is clear. Pets can also constitute a possible distraction. Your dog or cat might want to meet and greet the movers, but moving day is not time for your pets to be wandering around the house. For their safety as well as for the safety of the movers, be sure to confine your pets to a safe place until everything has been loaded.  

Provide Light Refreshments 

While you don’t have to provide food or drink for the movers, that doesn’t mean that you can’t at least offer some light refreshments such as water or granola bars. You can place the items on a table and let the movers know that they can enjoy the refreshments at their leisure.   

These are just some of the things you can do to facilitate a more efficient moving process. ABS Movers & Storage has you covered if you need to book a moving company to help on your big day.
