5 Strategies for Making Your Move Safe

By Dan M.


I've spent a decade in the moving business. After ten years in the business, my group has been given the reputation as the careful Phoenix moving company. These five tactics are the tips I share with my customers to be sure we have an smooth and quick move. May they help you.

1. Travel Light: Make sure the items can be easily moved. Do not make the boxes too heavy to move. The boxes should be loaded to the point to where only 1 person can lift the box. This could reduce the chance of damages or wounds.

2. Cushion Items from Breaking: Confirm all items are individually and completely wrapped. Use old shipping paper to protect your fragile items. So long as you use shipping paper to wrap your breakable items, there's a high possibility they will not be damaged.

3. Create a Cozy Working Environment: Confirm your house is cooled down or heated with the indoors well lit for anyone that assists you with your move. This can make your helpers more relaxed in packing or moving your items. Providing water for your helpers (keeping them hydrated) will promote even safer moving. If you have pets, confirm they're secured. You may even label the room's door for where the pet is secured to avoid letting the pet get loose.

4. Shield Against Weather: Make efforts to put additional plastic, carpet or tarp around your belongings to guard against the elements such as rain, sunlight or snow.

5. Packing: Ensure you follow these laws when packing for your residence:

1. Always pack small items in newspapers.
2. Pack all fragile items in newspapers.
3. Make sure all boxes are packed to the point at which they aren't over flowing.
4. Ensure the items are placed in the garage.
5. Mark the boxes obviously on where they are meant to go.
6. If working with a professional mover, make up a blueprint of where all of the moved items will be placed.
7. All wooden items have to be unloaded as the moving around of the weight will damage the wood. All vertical filing cupboards can remain stocked. In regards to lateral filing cupboards make sure the top 2 - 3 cupboards are unloaded out. When marking on chairs, make sure the labels are placed on the arm of the chair.

Preparing your residence before your move will promote a safe and hassle-free moving experience for the people who assists you. Good luck moving!
