Dont Forget Any Additional Packing Tape

Just because you've finished loading your items doesn't mean you won't need spare packing tape. It isn't rare for movers to ask you to tape over one of your boxes because it wasn't properly packed. These are real signs of a moving company that cares about your possessions. A word of caution: if you don't have any extra packing tape left over on the day you move, your mover may charge extra for a pack than a convenience store. It's like purchasing a slice of pizza at an amusement park. Make sure to ask your relocation company about any additional costs before you move.

Disconnecting Appliances

Sadly, relocating to a new area also means cleaning your old one. It's a good idea to make a list of all of the various appliances that need your consideration, like removing mildew and stains on appliances around the house, draining your dishwasher, and removing tubes from the washing machine. Be aware that you're accountable for the disconnection of your major appliances. Movers won't do it for you due to insurance and safety reasons, so be sure to have your washing machine, stove, drier and any other appliance you may have prepared for loading before beginning to move.

Loading Your Tools

If you own possessions that use gasoline or oil like your landscaping tools or emergency power generators, remember to drain them prior to having the moving company pack the items. This is a fundamental safety measure that you should look into. Hand tools require little management; you can just leave them in your tool box. Just make sure to fill up the empty spaces with filling material such as paper to protect your tools from moving during transportation.
