Have a plan for any kids and pets. Remember movers often can’t see very well when they are carrying your furniture. We’d hate to trip over your child or pet as we’re carrying a big dresser or piece of furniture. Kids and pets can also distract movers from doing their jobs and this can impact your cost especially if it’s an hourly job.
Have cold beverages (water or gatorade) on hot days, and have warm beverages on cold days. This is a simple way to let the movers know you appreciate what they are doing for you. They appreciate this gesture though it’s not required.

Make sure to pull out all important documents such as documents you might need for closing or taxes.
