Moving pitfalls, mistakes and problems.
House closing times are frequently
late in the day. If the movers come in the morning, many times the truck will be loaded before your house sale has closed. When you buy a home try to negotiate an early closing time.
When moving from an apartment you need to book the elevator. Contact the superintendent and find out what is a good time to move. Then arrange a time with Frank's.
If you are moving into a smaller place, make sure you have enough room for all your stuff. Make sure you measure. Your big living room set may not fit where you want it.
Have enough boxes. Heaping the boxes full and not closing the tops, or not having boxes with tops makes the movers job really difficult. It will lead to breakage and a bigger moving bill.
Tape the boxes with 3 strips of tape on the bottom and at least one row of tape on the top. If not properly taped the boxes will spill.
Using grocery, or liquor store boxes usually is not good. They are either too small, and flimsy or do not have a top. The movers will not be able to stack your belongings in the truck. The movers will need more time causing a bigger moving bill.
