A new guide released by Movers.com covers the essential steps individuals should take to be prepared for professional movers.
—
With the US Census Bureau reporting that out-of-state moves are at the highest level since the start of the millennium - accounting for 17% of all relocations - Movers.com has released a new guide which covers everything from decluttering a home to staying organized on moving day.

Movers.com appreciates that even when hiring full-service movers, individuals have many tasks to complete both before and on the moving day. As such, its new guide offers tips on how to prevent complications, minimize delays, and avoid damage.
“If you know how to prepare for professional movers, you may save a considerable amount of time and prevent a major headache on a moving day,” says Movers.com. “The best way to get started is by decluttering the home.”
The guide suggests identifying items that are no longer in use, and either selling or donating them, to make the packing process more efficient and lower the cost of moving. When it comes to belongings that moving crews can’t transport, like medicine and important documents, Movers.com recommends carrying them in the car, along with plants and pets.
Once the items that need to be moved have been identified, the moving specialists advise purchasing an insurance policy. Most moving companies offer two types of policies - by the pound and comprehensive. The former is more affordable but will only cover expenses based on the weight of the furniture, while the latter will compensate for any damage.
Preparing an inventory, cleaning, and organizing the home should come next, says Movers.com. This includes making a list of all belongings, which will also serve as proof in case of any damage or loss during transport. On moving day, all appliances should be disconnected, closets and shelves cleared, small items packed in separate sealed bags to prevent damage, and all boxes clearly labeled.
Confidential documents, essentials boxes, valuables such as jewelry and artwork, and electronic devices like phones and cameras should always be packed personally and not handled or transported by the movers, says Movers.com.
Other tips covered in the guide include taking measurements of the doors, hiring a babysitter for moving day, arranging snacks and drinks for the crew, and having cash for tips.
For those who are still in the process of finding a moving crew, Movers.com can also provide up to seven no-cost quotes from local professionals, for any type of relocation.
