Moving Musical Instruments Your musical instruments should be cleaned before packing. If you have any instruments that can be disassembled into individual parts such as a detachable mouthpiece, be sure to do so. Also, consider investing in a hard case for your instrument. Soft cases are great for carrying instruments, but the sturdier hard cases are better for loading and damage prevention.
Stocking Up On Supplies You can find commercial moving supplies almost anywhere, from your local drugstores and supermarkets to moving storage buildings and truck rental places. Make sure to stock up on packing tape, boxes, box-cutters, labels, packing peanuts, and bubble wrap. Oftentimes, you can sell back any extra boxes or items you have left over.
Helping Your Dog Adjust Unlike your other pets, your dog will probably welcome a change in environment. That's why it's so important for you to walk your dog as soon as you arrive. This is the ideal time for your dog to familiarize itself with the new neighborhood. You can take this opportunity to establish certain boundaries in terms of streets and traffic.
Tipping Your Movers Movers have it rough. Sure, it's a part of their job description when they're lugging your sofa into the truck, but that doesn't make their job any less difficult. Most people don't know that it's common courtesy to tip their movers, especially since you'll have to pay a substantial sum for the move, but it doesn't have to be some extravagant sum. It's recommended that you don't tip any less than twenty dollars to your movers if they've performed their job well.

Do not ever hire Mels moving.They ripped ,e off a totel of $2.000 and had the odacity to ask for more.I had perscription drugs missing,DVD\'s and some jewelry valued at $3,500.I\'m in the process of filing charges.When I brought up the company in question the Portland Police was well aware of this companies shoddy buisness practises and informed me that they were part of handfull of companies that are al related and have along history of ripping people off.My advice is to not ever hire mels moving,Tuckers & sons moving,or maineway trucking/atlantic coastal movers.They are all in it together according to the portland police. 1.0000

Mels Moving ken 30 Jul 2011 This was the most horrible moving experience I can imagine. ... This was the most horrible moving experience I can imagine. This guy is unprofessional, uncaring and totally incapable. Nothing happened when it was suppose to. Packing was practically non=existent. Results were greasy dirt on mattresses and furniture. Scratches on antiques and the corners of anything wood. Missing pieces on items needing assembled, and an owner that won\'t answer calls. I would highly recommend anyone else. 1.0000

A & E Moving Svc jonesofmaine12 17 Feb 2011 These people did not do the minimum a moving company would do.... These people did not do the minimum a moving company would do. They were asked to take extra care of antiques. They did NOT even wrap them. Antiques were DAMAGED enroute. They did not want to set up the beds. (they did set them up after I told them to - he actually HANDED me the bed casters for ME to put them on!) They grumbled and moaned every time a box or piece of furniture needed to go UPSTAIRS. They would NOT center large furniture on the wall. Just dropped it in the room. If you want Bad Attitude and Furniture Repair bills, these HUSTLERS and LIARS are for you. 1.0000
