In the days leading up to your moving date, you must carefully pack up your entire home. Unless you have specifically paid for packing services as well, your moving company likely expects their efforts to only involve loading and unloading the truck. Begin by packing up the least essential items, but only place items for one room in the same box. This makes it easier to unpack later. Label your boxes. Keep all essential items out until the last possible minute. You should keep an overnight bag with hygiene items and a change of clothes with you during the move.

All items should be carefully packed. You will need protective wrap or foam sheets around breakable items. Boxes should be loaded with weight in mind as well. Avoid making very large boxes too heavy for a typical man or woman to lift. It is also helpful if you take apart furnishings before the movers arrive. For example, you may need to take the legs off of your dining room table to get the table out the front door. If you are uncertain about the level of preparations that you need to take before your movers arrive, it is wise to reach out to the moving company for their specific expectations and requirements.
