Talo Moving Tips

It’s very important to find out what your moving company’s cargo insurance covers, and how it works.

Ask us to send you our insurance coverage and more information on how it works 

Knowing a business’s terms and conditions is very important when it comes to hiring a moving company, Make sure you review these before hiring your movers

 Our terms and conditions can be found Here

Are you hiring a company that does quotes or estimates? ( Whats the difference? )

A company that Quotes you a price is the final price and no changes can be made even if the move takes longer, We send Estimates which means we are estimating you a price and it could be more or less depending on the length of the job

Make sure to label boxes with what items are inside, and which area of the house you would like them placed. This will make your unpacking a lot easier, and also your move will go a lot faster if the movers know where to unload your items.

We can do this for you!, We offer packing and unpacking services read more Here

Pack all items in good strong boxes, having a bunch of items unpacked will make it difficult to pack in the cube truck and will be more time consuming. In turn costing more than originally planned for.

We have all the moving supplies you need. From wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, etc to find out more Click Here

Take as many items apart as you can yourself to save time and money. Keep bolts/screws in a box or bag, labeled correctly.

If everything is taken apart your move will be a breeze. But don’t worry if you don’t feel comfortable taking your items apart, we have all the tools needed to do it for you!

Prepare a moving day kit

All important items that you will need access to, label it and set it aside so it doesn’t end up in the back of the moving truck. Always pack a few days worth of these items so you don’t feel rushed to unpack everything to find these items.

Children & Pets

Pets and kids are the most important part of your move. Plan to get a babysitter for them. It will save you some stress, and you’ll have one less thing to worry about on your moving day.

 

Move out and move in cleans are probably the unlikeable part of a move. Get some friends or family to help you! It takes awhile to fully clean a big house after everything has been moved out.

Last most forgotten items

Fridges and freezers are always last and sometimes not always on your mind. Make sure you have enough boxes for those items inside, as it’s very important for them to be placed back into the fridge and deep freeze as soon as you arrive at the new location.

 

Avoid helping your movers load the truck at any cost, as this will void cargo insurance.

Our movers are fully trained and when we are hired we are responsible for you belongings, So whenever a third party or a customer wants to help load and unload we unfortunately cannot be held responsible for any item once this is done.

 

Always do a walk through of your home, prior to and and after your move and note any damages that may have occurred before and after your move.

This is one of our terms and conditions, its a great idea to make sure your mover didn't damage any of your belongings, Depending on which company you hire you may not have the chance to show them something that wasn't there prior to your move!

 

Always allow a little extra time for your move as things don’t always go exactly as planned time wise. Sometimes it may be a shorter move and sometimes it takes an extra hour or two.

This is also stated in our terms and conditions, We never know what we are in for when we show up to a job. We will always get the job done as fast as we can and as close to our estimate as possible. By trying out some of our tips you will have a greater chance of a very good stress-free move that us at Take A Load Off Moving like to provide
