Properly Packing Boxes Keep in mind that your movers will more than likely inspect your boxes for safety reasons. On moving day, be sure to single out which boxes require careful handling as you go through your inventory. Movers will also point out any boxes they think aren’t properly packed. If this happens, the mover will likely suggest that the boxes in question need to be repacked or reinforced. And label your boxes with which room they are to go into at destination. This will help during the unpacking as the boxes will be in the correct area.

Moving Close For short distance moving, it may seem strange to hire extra help. Other than a rental truck, you can do everything else on your own, right? So why pay for it? While this may be the case for those who don’t have families and large amount of items to transport, those who do may need to look into moving companies for assistance. By going through a professional moving service, you can insure that they’ll load and deliver your goods without any fear of mishandling, and you can always compare estimates to get the best deal out there.

Packing Heavy Items There are a few things you should keep in mind when you're packing items that weigh more than thirty pounds. Firstly, the box you're using should be of a stronger quality with seams that are either stitched or stapled. To prevent crushing or shifting, invest in corrugated or molded foams to protect your heavier belongings instead of packing paper or peanuts. Heavy cushioning could mean the difference between seeing your items safely home and finding them damaged after you unpack.

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.

One guy was on his cell phone almost the entire time. The other guy did all of the work - but unfortunately it still cost me $900. Ridiculous!! I honestly could not recommend them to anyone. 1.0000

They leave a card on your door claiming that they tried to deliver a package you ordered and missed you. If you call the number given on the note you\'ll find that the package is a \"complimentary coupon folder for new homeowners\" and then they try and get your email from you and entice you to buy suspicious sounding special offers like \"installing a home security system\". Just ignore any notes you get from these people, I\'m sure they\'ve already sold my cell phone number to other advertisers. 1.0000

Mr Mover Moving Co Lynn 14 Oct 2011 This company is awful and I would not recommend them to anyone... This company is awful and I would not recommend them to anyone. They are a total rip off. I hired them to move me and they showed up an hour late. The guys that were sent to move me were texting on their cell phones, taking unnecessary breaks, moving one small item at a time and moving very slowly. They did not hook up my washer, dryer or refrigerator and they damage some of my items. what was supposed to be a $210 bill ended up being $530. I spoke with the owner of the company, he said he would send them back out to my house to complete the job and it never happened. I\'ve tried calling them several times and have left message after message and they all go unanswered. Please DO NOT HIRE this company, you\'ll be so sorry. 1.0000
