If you’ll be doing some packing yourself, start packing several cartons each day a few weeks before your move. Be sure that the items you pack won’t be needed before you move, of course. By packing yourself, you will be more organized and the job won’t be so overwhelming.
Pack on a room-by-room basis, one area at a time.
It’s best not to mix items from different rooms into same box.
To prevent small items from being lost or discarded, wrap knick-knacks and other small items in brightly colored tissue paper before placing in box.
On top and front of each carton write a general description of the contents and designated room where it came from or where it will go in new location.
Use different colored dot stickers for each box. Then make a list of each room next to its coordinated dot color and give a copy to the nj movers at the new location.
Use only unprinted newsprint paper to wrap items. Regular newspaper is messy and can spoil your possessions.
Use clean cartons designed for nj moving. Boxes obtained from grocery or liquor stores are not always clean and may not withstand the weight of your moving items. Also their odd sizes tend to make loading more difficult.
Unpack breakables over the box they are coming out of in case they happen to drop. By landing on packing material, it will reduce the chance of breakage.
Some common household items cannot be included in your shipment because they are considered hazardous materials. Examples of such materials
Include flammables such as: paint, varnish, thinners, gasoline (in lawn equipment like trimmers or mowers), kerosene, oil, bottled gas, aerosol cans, nail polish, remover, ammunition, explosives, fireworks, corrosives, cleaning fluids and detergents.
You should personally transport all irreplaceable and sentimental items such as photos, financial papers, bank checks, insurance policies, stock certificates, legal documents (wills, passports etc.), valuables (jewelry, coin/stamp collections) and medical/family records.
After you’ve thoroughly cleaned and dried the inside of your refrigerator, put a handful of fresh coffee, baking soda or charcoal in a sock or nylon stocking and place inside for a fresh scent.
Are they done yet? It is your responsibility to see that all of your goods are loaded so remain on the premises until Loading is completed. To insure that nothing gets left behind, always do a final inspection of the premises and do not sign any releases until doing so.
Are they there yet? Make sure you are on hand when the movers nyc arrive. Its important to have an adult authorized to take your place if you are unable to be present at any time during the move. Let us know to whom you have given this authority.
Spend a little time… Always try to spend as much time with the mover as possible. If you have special instructions, make sure you relay them to your mover. As with anyone Communication is the key, especially with your mover.
They’re here!!! Once the foreman arrives review all details and paperwork. Accompany the driver as he inspects and tags each piece of furniture with an identifying number. These numbers, along with a detailed description of your goods and their condition at the time of loading, will appear on the inventory.
Where is a vacuum when you need one? Since you’ll probably want to clean before the furniture is unloaded, make sure your vacuum is packed last so it can be unloaded first.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the move…
