Make sure that someone is at home to answer the moving professionals’ questions. Pack special items for your children including snacks, toys and any favorite items. This can be a long and disorienting day for them. Clear walkways and driveways. Remove floor mats and door mats. Remove low-hanging items such as plants or wind chimes. Point out special items to your moving professionals immediately. Read your bill of lading and inventory carefully before you sign them. Make sure you understand all the paperwork and keep it safe until the moving process is complete. Find out as many details as you can before the driver leaves your residence. Make sure the driver has clear directions to your new residence. Your Tri State Area Moving & Storage driver may give you a delivery estimate. Understand that certain conditions (traffic, weather) can affect delivery times. Try to be flexible. Take one last sweep of your house, checking all closets, the garage, attic, and basement. You don’t want to find out that an important (or heavy!) item was left behind.
