- Important items, such as photographs, wills, jewelry, home videos, and any other important documents, should be packed separately so that you can personally carry them with you on moving day.
Another alternative you might want to consider is placing these belongings in a safety deposit box until after the move.
- Make sure your refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer are all unplugged and ready for the move when movers arrive.
To protect themselves, movers will not disconnect your major appliances.

- Start collecting boxes early.
If you decide to do your own packing, get packing supplies and start collecting strong boxes suitable for moving.
- When looking for packing supplies choose boxes that have a uniform size, rather than just grabbing any old box you can get your hands on.
The reasoning behind this is that such boxes are far easier to safely stack both in the truck and on a dolly. If a mover can take eight of these boxes out on a dolly in one trip and stack them all easily so they're no risk of falling, it's a win/win situation.
