Before I leave my apartment, I like to do a thing called the three-tap check. It’s a mental checklist as I tap each side pocket on my pants to make sure I have my keys and phone, and then tap my right rear pocket to make sure I have my wallet. Why do I do this? So I avoid any problems that might occur where I forget one of them. Could you imagine being stranded without your iPhone?! How would you perform a Google search for something outrageous, like “Does the Queen of England have a Facebook?”
He’s making a list, he’s checking it twice, he’s going to find out if he’s ready or paying the price.
Silly Google searches aren’t the point here. What you should get from reading this, is the importance of having a checklist and a few checklist points of things you need to make sure you already have or have already completed prior to your Moving Help Providers arriving.
- Reserve the moving truck for your move.
- Pack all of your boxes before the help arrives.
- Have moving pads, and other appropriate moving materials.
- Make sure the truck is in a good location (ask your apartment management if necessary).
- Have your payment code or form of payment readily available.
- Clear a path so that the helpers and you can avoid injuries and move around easily.
- Make sure all heavy appliances are empty and unplugged.
- Have all contact info for the Moving Help Providers handy for good communication.
Now, each move is unique so come up with your own checklist, and use this post as a reference. Making sure everything is ready to go for your Moving Help Providers will make the move quick, painless, and possibly less expensive.
