After fishing all the catalog and making frequent visits, you finally hire a moving service for the moving day. When the moving day is nearing, you make all the arrangements for the move and wait for the movers to come, pack your things, load them and you finally depart. But there are certain things that you can expect from the movers while they are packing. Sacramento moving services will tell you the same.
Sacramento is the capital of California, a state in the United States. It is also the largest city in Sacramento County. It is the ninth-largest city in the United States and sixth-largest in California. Sacramento’s estimated population in 2019 was around 513,630. It is also popularly known as the “City of Trees” because of its widespread urban forest and “Farm-to-Fork Capital because of the availability of freshly grown fruits and vegetables. The climate is hot, mildly cold during winters and it does not rain much in the rainy season. Sacramento is not a very affordable city but at the same time, it is not very expensive as well. According to recent reports, it ranks 22 in the list of most expensive cities.
Now let’s see what Sacramento movers have to tell us regarding our expectations from the movers.
What they will do?
First, the movers will enter the house and cover the floors of the house so they are not damaged during the packing process. The movers will bring packing supplies like cutters, tapes, cartons, and other things necessary for packing. Then they will separate and move to different rooms and start packing your belongings. But if you want the movers to label the boxes, then they won’t do it. You will have to label the boxes and keep a record of the items packed in the boxes yourself.
Will they pack quickly?
The movers will pack your belongings in a very short period. The reason being is that they don’t attach any emotions, and memories to the objects. If you pack your items on your own, then it may take up a lot of time in packing, but the packers will pack everything that is in the house. So if there are things that you don’t want to take along with you, then you must dispose of them off days before the movers turn them in for packing. Moreover, deciding what to take and what to leave behind while packers are packing will consume a lot of time and will cost you a fortune.
Will the things be damaged or broken?
Professional and trainer movers know how to arrange the things properly in the boxes with proper protection so they don’t break. But there are certain circumstances in which the items can break. But the chances of damage become very less when the work is done by professional movers.
Should I be present while the packers are packing?
An obvious answer to this question would be yes. You should be there to ensure that all the items are packed and you can label the boxes simultaneously. Moreover, don’t let your children and pets be around the packers so they don’t face any trouble while packing. Moreover, there are a lot of dangerous things that are lying unattended on the floor and can hurt children and pets, so you must keep them busy with something else.
What to pack and what to leave?
How will the packers come to know what to pack and what to leave? This is purely your responsibility. Throw away the trash, newspapers, magazines, and the extra or useless material that you don’t want to take with you before the packers arrive. Moreover, make sure that the laundry has been removed from the washer and dryer and the dishwasher has also been emptied. The packers will not check every single item that they encounter while packing, they will just pack them as they are. So make sure all the items are ready for packing and the extra items have been removed.
Making sure that everything has been packed
Once the packers have packed everything, they will not check whether anything has been left unattended or not. It is solely your responsibility to check everything. Take your team along with you, check all the rooms, open all the cupboards, drawers, cabinets before the packers leave. If you find any item unpacked after the packers leave and you ask the drivers to pack it, then they will charge you extra for this as these services are generally paid services.
How are boxes filled by the packers?
The boxes are filled by the packers. For instance, if they finish packing in one room and still space is left in the box, then they will pack items from the other room in the box. They do this so the items remain safe during transit. You may find items from a different destination in the box, as this is a part of the process.
These expectations will be properly met by the packers. However, you should also be completely prepared to enjoy the whole process. The moving company shall be ready to serve you and assist you throughout the move, but you need to make preparations in advance so they can work smoothly and there are no confusions at the time of loading and unloading.
Take note of the below-mentioned things:
- Carry a bag of screws, nuts, and other items required for the items that have been disassembled.
- If certain items need special care and attention, inform the movers when they arrive, so they can take care of them.
- Get rid of the items that you don’t want to take along with you before the packers arrive, so there are no confusion and delays in packing.
- The movers will also consult the list of items to be packed beforehand, if you have any queries, you can talk to them in advance.
