There are some things that you can do to ensure everything goes well with our hints for a smooth move.

When your friendly Austin movers arrive at your home or office, we’ve got a few hints for a smooth move. They expect to find everything ready to go. Unless you have arranged for packing services as well, your Austin movers are not planning on packing anything.

Chances are your Austin moving estimate did not account for packing if you did not request it. If your movers need to spend time packing, your move will end up costing more, both in time and packing materials.

Dresser drawers, nightstands, china cabinets, desk drawers, file cabinets, etc should all be emptied and the contents packed in boxes or bags before the day of your move. These items cannot be moved while full – they are heavy, hard to maneuver, and tend to shift unexpectedly while in transit. If the furniture is made of pressed wood it is definitely not designed to withstand the stress of being moved while full. It may seem like a way to save money, but in the end, it will cost you more.

Most Austin movers will not move furniture that has not been emptied of its contents. If you do get your mover to agree to it, you’ll have to sign a release saying the moving company is not liable for damages. Save yourself time, money and aggravation by packing appropriately before your move.
