Having everything packed and ready to go is important for the arrival of moving companies in the Nashville area. Typically, movers will provide a window of when their truck will arrive at the move location, with some companies offering a narrower window while others provide a general time frame.
Most people try to be packed and ready to go to avoid any last-minute confusion and chaos when the moving services arrive. Using moving checklists can be very helpful to stay on schedule, and it will also help to avoid common things that can be easily overlooked.
Several Hours Before
At least a few hours before the moving services are scheduled to arrive, check the following items in the home:
• Look in all closets and cupboards to make sure everything has been removed and packed.
• Check any furniture remaining in the home and pack any items which may have been missed or overlooked.
• Look in all appliances including the dishwasher, stove, fridge, washer, and dryer to make sure nothing has been left behind. If necessary, unplug these appliances.
• Double check the garage and storage sheds or locations in the home, and do not forget the attic or crawl space is used for storage.
• Additionally, makes sure all garbage is removed from the home, and all water and electricity are shut off to the house before you leave, depending on your arrangement with the people moving in.
In the short period of time before the moving services get to your home. Make sure any pets are put in kennels or secured in a room with a locked door to prevent pets from becoming frightened and running. Kids should also have a place to play or stay to ensure the movers can work without any concern about children getting in the way and possibly being hurt.
