It’s important to know what to expect from professional movers. Moving is one of the biggest stressors a person can experience. As a result, many people hire professional movers to make the process easier. However, understanding the expectation of the movers and yourself can make moving a cakewalk. So, what should expect from your professional movers?
Depending on the moving company, some of the expectations may vary. However, there are a few general expectations that all moving companies should meet. First of all, the movers should arrive on time for the job. Nobody likes to be kept waiting, especially when it comes to moving. While being a few minutes late can be forgiven, if it’s going to be longer than ten minutes then the movers should call you. Once the movers arrive, they should have a truck that can fit all of your items in (unless specified otherwise). You should also have at least 2-3 movers from the company.
Now, what they move can vary. While all moving companies will move boxes and furniture, there are a few things that moving companies will not move. For Men on the Move, those items are listed on our non-moveable items. In addition, moving companies can refrain from moving dangerous items Most importantly, they are responsible for moving your items in and out of the moving truck! While there are expectations for the movers, the client also has some responsibilities.
To make this easy, we are going to use Men on the Move’s expectations for clients. First of all, clients are responsible for packing. Pack everything in boxes instead of using plastic or paper bags. For all boxes, they should be:
After packing, clients are expected to prepare parking for the moving time. You need to reserve an ample amount of space for the moving truck. If the truck needs to use street parking, you need to inform the moving company about any meters so they can be capped by the city. During the winter, you need to clear the parking area and walkway from snow and ice. Contents of desk drawers should be emptied, however, file cabinets and dresser drawers’ content can remain (as long as you remove breakable items). If you need the movers to move appliances, it is the responsibility of the client to disconnect them before the movers arrive.
