Tips and Tricks for a Smooth Moving Day with Charming Movers


Moving can be a daunting task, but with the right preparation and a few insider tips, your moving day can be a seamless and stress-free experience. At Charming Movers, we've been helping families and businesses move since 2004, and we've learned a lot about what makes for a successful move. Here are our top tips and tricks to ensure your moving day goes off without a hitch.



1. Plan Ahead

Create a Moving Checklist Start by creating a detailed moving checklist. This will help you stay organized and ensure you don't forget any important tasks. Include items such as notifying utility companies, forwarding your mail, and packing a first-night essentials box.


Book Your Movers Early To secure your preferred moving date and time, book your movers as early as possible. Charming Movers recommends scheduling your move at least a month in advance, especially during peak moving seasons.



2. Declutter Before You Pack

Sort and Donate Before you start packing, go through your belongings and decide what you really need to take with you. Donate or sell items you no longer need. This will not only reduce the amount you have to pack but also make unpacking easier.


Create a Moving Inventory Make a list of all the items you're moving. This will help you keep track of your belongings and make it easier to check if anything goes missing during the move.


Readiness is key to a cost-effective moving experience

3. Pack Smart


Use Quality Packing Supplies Invest in good-quality packing supplies such as sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper. This will protect your belongings and make the packing process smoother.


Label Your Boxes Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make it easier for the movers to place the boxes in the right rooms and for you to find what you need when unpacking.


Pack an Essentials Box Pack a box with all the essentials you'll need for the first few days in your new home, such as toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, and basic kitchen items. This will save you from rummaging through boxes to find what you need right away.


4. Prepare Your Home


Protect Your Floors and Walls Use protective coverings to prevent damage to your floors and walls during the move. Charming Movers provides floor runners and corner protectors to keep your home in pristine condition.


Measure Doorways and Furniture Before moving day, measure your furniture and doorways to ensure everything will fit through.


5. Communicate with Your Movers


Provide Clear Instructions Give your movers clear instructions on where to place your belongings in your new home. This will save time and ensure everything ends up in the right place.


Stay Available for Questions Make sure to be available to answer any questions your movers may have on moving day. This will help avoid any confusion and keep the move running smoothly.


6. Take Care of Yourself


Stay Hydrated and Take Breaks Moving can be physically demanding, so make sure to stay hydrated and take breaks as needed. Keep water and snacks on hand for both yourself and your movers.


Keep Kids and Pets Safe Arrange for someone to look after your kids and pets on moving day. This will keep them safe and out of the way while the movers do their job.


7. Post-Move Tips


Unpack Strategically Start by unpacking the essentials and then move on to the less critical items. This will help you settle in quickly and avoid feeling overwhelmed by the number of boxes.


Inspect Your Belongings Check your belongings for any damage as you unpack. If you notice any issues, contact Charming Movers right away to address them.


Explore Your New Neighborhood Take some time to explore your new neighborhood. This will help you feel more at home and start building a connection with your new community.
