Here are some helpful tips to get your moving process started on the right foot:
- After booking your moving date, begin packing. Advance packing creates a more organized situation for the customer and the movers. If packed ahead, customers have enough time to make sure that all items are present and packed properly, this way the movers begin the moving right away.
- The packing process can also be very difficult. A lot of precautions should be taken when packing. Customers should break down ALL large articles. Remember when dismantling objects to keep all pieces together to prevent loss. Also, place the appropriate security wrapping for all fragile and delicate items to prevent breaking and scarring, and label all items accordingly.
- It is important that the movers are able to have access to the items and actually be able to remove from the location.
- A very helpful tip is that customers should not be afraid to instruct the movers or ask questions. After all, it is your items being moved. Avi Moving is just here to assist.

Here are a few truthful steps
to answering a customer’s question, like:
> How long in advance should I start to pack my
belongings?
> What items should I pack and move myself?
> What items should Avi
Moving and Trucking pack and move?
> Is there anything else that I
should be doing to prepare for my move?
> What if I need to store
some items for a while, can the moving company provide me with this option?

How long in advance
should I start to pack my belongings?
Planning in advance is always
a plus for the customer and the moving company. It makes the
moving experience more manageable. By creating an inventory
list of the items being moved before a decision is made on
what exactly is being moved, is a good suggestion to get
started with the planning and organizing of your move.

What items should I
pack and move myself?
Avi moving and Trucking suggests that any
personal assets and fragile items that are precious to you
and your family should be packed and moved by the customer
themselves. Going through your items gives you the chance to
make a complete inventory of your items. You should always
prepare and inventory list of the items that you own, to
keep your valuables organized.
-
Money, jewelry, important papers,
perishable items and flammable materials should not be
packed. These items should either be moved by the client
or pertaining to the flammable items, they can be
disposed of or moved by the customer.
-
Moving is a great opportunity to go
through your items and get rid of unwanted items such as
old clothes, magazines, unused toys, dishes, etc.
Leaving these items behind or dispersing of them save
you time and money, as well as providing you with a new
beginning in your new home. You know what they say, “out
with the old, in with the new”.
-
Making lists and notes of everything that
will be moved and assigning values for insurance
purposes is beneficial to the customer. Items that are
hard to replace should be moved by the customer or
shipped to the customer’s new home by certified or
insured mail.
-
Keeping a list of items that may be
required once you move into your new home is a good
idea. This way you can pack these thing’s in a suitcase
or an “assets” box.
-
Making a list for
the movers is an essential part of the move. Prior to
your moving date you can provide the moving with this
list of services that may be required such as: the items
you want the moving company to move, packing materials
needed, items that should be packed or unpacked, items
that need to dismantled and reassembled and any handling
of pianos, antiques, crating services, etc.

What items should Avi
Moving and Trucking pack and move?
-
All loose items should be placed in
either boxes or bags (depending on the item).
-
Heavy items, such as, books, should be
put into small boxes. Lighter items, such as linens, may
be put into bigger boxes.
-
Fragile items such as dishes and
glassware should be placed into a box that is cushioned
on the bottom. Wrap each item individually using packing
paper, bubble wrap or newspaper. Make sure that the
items are not touching each other and mark the box as
“fragile”.
-
Any side tables, small cabinets, small
dressers or other small storage cabinets can remain full
only if they are packed with light items such as
clothing or bedding.
-
Any larger tables, cabinets, dressers,
desks or antique cabinets must be emptied before moving.
-
If you have computers and electronics,
you should unplug and mark them to ensure easy
reconnection of the items. These items should be packed
in a heavy duty box with materials to cushion it such
as, bubble wrap or paper pads. Any open spaces on the
box should be sealed so that nothing can get inside. All
appliances must be unplugged before the movers arrive.
They will not unplug any appliances for the customer;
this is not the moving companies responsibility to
unplug these items.
-
Statues and artwork should be placed into
a box marked as “fragile”. Any smaller artwork or
paintings should be put into picture boxes or crated.
-
Lamps and light fixtures should have the
shades, bulbs and bases for these items removed before
packing. Once these items are placed into a box mark the
box as “fragile”.
-
Most importantly, all boxes should be
marked and/or labeled with the correct room that it will
be placed in. If there are fragile items in the box, you
must mark and/or label the boxes “fragile”.

Is there anything
else that I should be doing to prepare for my move?
Once you have completed and inventory list of
items that will be moving and you are not going to be
packing yourself, you should provide the list to Avi Moving
and Trucking. This will be the items that you would like the
moving company to pack and/or wrap for your move. If you
have decided to pack your own belongings, then you have to
provide the moving company with the list for inventory
purposes only. Otherwise, this list will be used for your
packing and wrapping purposes.
Here are a few tips and facts on what
the moving company might pack for your move:
-
If you have packed your items already,
than the moving company are not responsible for the
boxes contents. They cannot verify the contents of what
is inside the boxes. They will only move them; they are
not going to be responsible for
the list of what you have put inside them.
-
Electronics, televisions,
audio/visual/stereo equipment and computers are
suggested to be wrapped by the moving company. If you
have already packed these items, make sure they are
packed correctly and labeled. If the moving company
packs these items, they provide the materials required
to pack and wrap these items. You can purchase any and
all materials from the foreman on the move.
-
Framed pictures, paintings, statues,
mirrors, etc. of the larger nature, should be packed by
our moving professionals. Crating and any special
services required for these items will be completed upon
request. Smaller pictures framed or personal can be
easier to pack if done by the client. Smaller fragile
items should be wrapped in white paper or bubble wrap
and packed in a china box, placing bubble or crumbled
paper in the open spaces inside the box. This is good
for padding and the items from touching each other and
becoming damaged.
-
Dressers, cabinets, closets, desks and
any heavy or large storage furniture should be emptied
out prior to the move. Wardrobe boxes are available for
purchase through the foreman on the move to put any
clothing inside. As well as linen boxes to pack any
bedding to be moved.
-
Books, c.d.’s, records and personal files
will be packed into smaller boxes. We suggest that he
client packs these items, but the moving company can
take care of these items as well.
Once the move is
complete, make sure to sign on the moving contract that all
items specified on your inventory list has been packed and
moved accordingly. Signing on the contract helps if there
are damages to items and you need to make a claim file for
your records. It is your responsibility as the customer, to
check the items once delivered for any damage. If damage is
discovered, you must record this on the inventory sheet and
the contract with the foreman of the move. Once you have
signed on the contract that your items have been delivered,
the foreman will give you a copy of the contract as a
receipt for your valuables.

What if I need to
store some items for a while, can the moving company provide
me with this option?
When preparing to move, the most minor of
details go unnoticed. These minor details can turn out to be
a major disruption in the moving process. We can offer you a
little advice to remembering the small thing’s of your
moving process.
Always remember to:
-
Cancel the delivery of your daily
newspaper.
-
Disconnect your cable and phone line and
have them transferred to your new residence.
-
Collect all important papers and
documentation such as, medical records, passports,
social security cards, etc.
-
Forward all of your mail to your new
residence.
-
Return library books, videotapes and
borrowed sugar bowls to your neighbor.
-
Defrost your refrigerator and unplug all
appliances for the moving day.
-
Pack your suitcases and personal items.
-
Transfer banks and schools if necessary.

Say goodbye to the old and hello to the
new.
-
Contact your building management weeks in
advance, if necessary, and schedule a moving day.
-
Contact the moving company to schedule
your move, weeks in advance.
-
Call your airline, if moving long
distance, to confirm you and your families travel
arrangements.
-
And much,
much more.
