Local Moving FAQs

To prepare for a local move, it’s important to create a moving checklist and plan in advance. This includes notifying utility companies of your move, making travel arrangements for yourself and your pets, and arranging for storage if necessary. Remember to also include a list of all the items you want to take with you and a list of items you want to leave behind.

When planning a move, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure that you have a successful move. Some important questions to ask include: what services does the moving company offer, what is their pricing structure, do they have insurance, and can they provide references from previous customers.

A local move is typically considered a move within a 100-mile radius and does not cross state lines. However, some moving companies may have different definitions of a local move, so it’s important to check with the specific company you’re planning to use.

The cost of a local move can vary depending on several factors such as the distance of the move, the amount and weight of items being moved, and the services provided by the moving company. On average, a local move can range anywhere from $800 to $2,000. It’s best to get a quote from a few different moving companies to compare prices and services.

There are certain items that should not be moved by a professional moving company. These include perishable items, hazardous materials, and items of sentimental or personal value. It’s also a good idea to check with the moving company to see if they have any specific items they will not move.

Tipping movers is not required, but it is a common practice in the moving industry. The amount to tip is typically based on the level of service provided and ranges from $20 to $60 per mover. You can also opt to tip a flat amount or a percentage of the total cost of the move.

It’s recommended to empty drawers and clear out any items that may be in the way during the move. This will make it easier for the movers to handle and transport your furniture, and also helps to prevent damage to the items inside the drawers.

The day before moving, it’s important to pack up any remaining items, double-check that all utilities have been disconnected, and ensure that all valuables and important documents are with you. It’s also a good idea to set aside essentials such as toiletries, clothes, and bedding for the night of the move.

It’s important to be present during the move to oversee the process and to answer any questions the movers may have. You should also have a copy of the inventory list readily available and check off each item as it’s loaded onto the truck. It’s also a good idea to have a contact number for the moving company in case of any issues or concerns during the move.

Packing FAQs

M&M Movers Inc has certain restrictions on packing certain items, such as hazardous materials or perishable items. We also recommend using sturdy, high-quality boxes for long distance moving, to ensure the safety of your items during transport.

When packing for a move, it’s important to follow certain guidelines to ensure that your belongings are protected during transport. Some general packaging guidelines include:

Using sturdy, high-quality boxes and packing materials
Wrapping fragile items in bubble wrap or packing paper
Labeling all boxes with their contents and the room they belong in
Filling any empty spaces in boxes with packing materials to prevent items from shifting during transport
Not overloading boxes, as this can make them too heavy to lift and can cause the bottom to give out

When it comes to packing, it’s important to start early and to have a plan in place. A good way to start packing is by:

Making a list of items you know you won’t need before the move, such as seasonal clothing or decorations, and packing them away first.
Set a deadline for when you want to have all your packing completed.
Create a packing schedule and stick to it.
Start with the items you use the least and work your way up to the items you use every day.

Professional packers have been trained to pack efficiently and effectively. They know how to pack everything from fragile glassware to large furniture items. They are also able to pack quickly and efficiently to ensure that your move is completed on time. Professional packers will also bring their own packing materials, such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap and packing paper, to ensure that your belongings are protected during the move.

When it comes to packing, it’s important to have a plan and to start early. One of the best ways to start packing is by decluttering and getting rid of items you no longer need or use. Once you have decluttered, you can then begin to focus on packing the items you want to take with you. A good place to start is with items you use less frequently, such as holiday decorations or off-season clothing. This will help to lighten the load and make packing less overwhelming.

When it comes to packing, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

Do pack your items in a logical and organized manner, such as grouping items by room or category.
Do use high-quality packing materials, such as sturdy boxes, packing paper, and bubble wrap.
Do label your boxes with their contents and the room they belong in.
Don’t overload your boxes, as this can make them heavy and difficult to move.
Don’t leave items loose in your boxes, as this can cause damage during transport.
Don’t pack items that are prohibited for moving, such as flammable or hazardous materials.

When it comes to packing dishes for moving or storage, it’s important to use the proper materials and techniques to protect them from damage. One of the best ways to pack dishes is by using bubble wrap and packing paper. Wrap each dish individually in bubble wrap and place them in a sturdy box with packing paper between each layer. Make sure to label the box as fragile and indicate which way the dishes should face.

The 8 principles of organizing are:

Set a clear goal for the space
Establish a zone plan
Designate a home for everything
Create a system for maintaining organization
Use the right tools and equipment
Follow the “one in, one out” rule
Think in terms of vertical space
Edit and simplify regularly

The most forgotten thing to pack is often small, everyday items such as toothbrushes, toiletries, and medications. These items are often used frequently and are easily overlooked when packing. It is important to make a list of these items and ensure they are packed in a designated “essentials” bag or box that can be easily accessed on moving day.

There are certain items that should not be packed when moving, such as hazardous materials, perishable items, and valuable documents. Hazardous materials include items such as chemicals, cleaning products, and fuels. Perishable items include food and plants. Valuable documents include things like birth certificates, passports, and social security cards. It is important to properly dispose of or store these items before the move.

The hardest room to pack when moving is often the kitchen. Kitchens are typically filled with small, fragile items that need to be packed carefully such as dishes, glasses, and small appliances. In addition, many kitchens also have a lot of food that needs to be used up or properly disposed of before the move. It is important to start packing the kitchen well in advance of the move and to have a plan for dealing with food and fragile items.

The fastest way to pack for a move is to start early and make a plan. It is important to create a packing schedule, set a deadline for when all items need to be packed and stick to it. Prioritize items that you use less frequently and pack them first. It is also helpful to declutter and get rid of items that you no longer need before starting the packing process. This will save time and make the packing process more efficient.

When packing a bed for moving, it is important to disassemble it and properly label all the parts. This includes the headboard, footboard, frame, and any other pieces. Wrap the mattress in a plastic mattress cover or moving blanket and secure it with tape. Use furniture pads or moving blankets to protect the headboard and footboard during transport. Make sure to use proper lifting techniques when disassembling and reassembling the bed to prevent injury.
