1. Hire an Experienced Mover

Looking for a moving company? Beware of imposters! There are many people out there who claim to be movers, but don't have the licenses, equipment, or skills to offer you a proper service. Beware of companies that only display a telephone number, or whose prices are ridiculously low.

2. Inform Your Mover

When you contact a specialized, credible company (Drapeau Transport, for example!), provide the following information:

• The total distance of your move
• The floor where your belongings are located – at departure and at destination
• The presence of stairs or elevators, if applicable
• Door widths (especially if oversized furniture is to be transported)
• Parking arrangements

3. Pack Your Goods Properly

You can pack your goods yourself, but you will be held responsible if they are damaged in transit. Entrusting this task to professionals will give you peace of mind, as they have access to the best materials and use the most efficient techniques!

4. Identify Goods Properly

On each box, make a note of what it contains and where it should be deposited. For commercial moves, number the boxes and prepare a list of your inventory. When the truck arrives at its destination, be on hand to check off the item numbers on your list and make sure nothing is missing.

5. Use Adequate Protection

No move is immune to the unexpected. So check with your moving company to find out the details of the insurance it offers. If in doubt, contact the company directly.

Tips in Bulk

Before moving, get rid of any items you no longer need. Furthermore, make sure you clear the movers' path to facilitate their movements. Finally, make sure your appliances are ready to be handled (drain the washer, defrost the freezer, etc.).
