1
Are You Weird to Help Your Movers? Things Movers
Absolutely Love
2
Disconnect and unplug as many electronics, lamps,
and appliances as possible
  • Make things easy on yourself at the other end of
    your move by labeling or otherwise organizing all
    those cords.
  • Put them in Ziploc bags, or simply wrap them in
    newspaper and label them with a big, fat marker.

3
Get everything off of every single wall
  • Keep a small bag for all those nails and hanger
    things youll want them when its time to start
    decorating your new home.

4
Strip your mattress and fold your bedding
  • If the movers are packing you up, theyll only
    have to stick those blankets, pillows and sheets
    inside a box.
  • If you are doing your own packing, then have a
    box ready by your bed so that you can get one box
    packed before youre even out of your pajamas.

5
Make a space for anything you dont want them to
touch
  • You might want to designate a place for all the
    stuff you dont want packed or moved.
  • A kitchen counter is usually a good choice push
    all that stuff into a marked box, or in a pile
    against the wall where there will also likely be
    an outlet to keep your gadgets charged.

6
Dont forget clear and defrost your freezer
  • Not remembering this one, or even doing it
    poorly, will set you back a ton.
  • The added benefit of doing this ahead of time is
    that you now have to do something with all that
    food.
  • Like the saying goes, you cant take it with you.
    Eat it, donate it, or give it to your neighbor.

7
Break down the shelves
  • This may be logistically challenging if your
    shelves are loaded with stuff your movers will be
    packing up, but if you have the floor space, put
    those shelf items in organized piles and
    disassemble them yourself.
  • The plastic type usually come apart pretty
    quickly, so weigh the time you save your movers
    versus the time it will take to move all that
    stuff onto the floor. 

8
 Know where things go ahead of time
  • Rare is the customer who has no last-minute
    issues to handle.
  • But youll be relieved and pretty proud of
    yourself if you can tell your movers exactly
    what goes and what doesnt and exactly where you
    envision it all.
  • Lets just say that on moving day, no one wants
    to have to think just what to do with that old
    wooden rocking horse.

9
Drain your mowers and blowers
  • Among the things movers are not allowed to put on
    their truck or in a rental truck or container are
    oil and gasoline  and that includes whats in
    your lawn mower (and your snowblower, your leaf
    blower and that old moped with the flat tires.)
  • Running these machines out of gas might be one
    option, but siphoning it into your neighbors
    mower is a nice gesture.
