No matter what you do, you probably work with people. You wish your customers, colleagues, or providers knew a few things to make your interactions smoother and more productive. The same goes for movers in dubai. Your movers wish they could tell you these ten things to make moving day easier:
Allow them to work.
What will help your movers most? Allow them to work! Full-service movers were hired for a reason. Step aside, and they’ve moved many couches, boxes, and fragile items! You’ll feel less stressed, and they won’t feel micromanaged.
Before moving day, finish packing.
Your movers pack, right? When you hire a full-service mover, they do. Make sure you’ve done it before they arrive if you still need to hire packing services. Their job is much easier if the house is ready to load on the truck when they arrive. You’re paying for their time, so don’t make them wait.
Keep cash, jewelry, and prescriptions with you.
Certain items cause your movers trouble. They don’t want to carry cash or jewelry and risk losing it. Keep your valuables and let the movers in dubai handle the rest on a moving day.
Mark the boxes’ destinations.
Clearly labeling each box with its room of destination will help your movers unload faster and save you from traffic director duties. If you pay them hourly, this is crucial.
Tell the movers or label the box if something is fragile.
Tell your movers if something is fragile or needs special handling. If they were psychic, they wouldn’t be your movers. They need to know clearly and ahead of time, so write, mark, or say it.
Make sure they can get in easily.
Help your movers by telling them where to park their truck, how to get into your apartment, and if there are any parking or moving restrictions. Your movers assume this information has been researched and would be upset that your poor preparation got them a parking ticket.
Only pack heavy items in large boxes.
Isn’t it sensible to put all those books in one box? Wrong. A big box of books is hard to carry and may burst even for Schwarzenegger-sized movers. Check out our free moving box guide for extra boxes.
Clear your desks, drawers, and armoires.
With sliding drawers and shifting content, it makes the item heavier for your movers and can be dangerous. Thus, most movers will only move furniture or filing cabinets with items inside.
If you tightly wrap the drawer contents in plastic, some packing experts recommend leaving everything in the drawers to simplify packing.
Stay with your movers.
It would help if you stayed out of their way, but they can’t do it alone. Stay close so they can find you. Moving etiquette requires you to stay home and let the movers know where to find you if you leave.
How much to tip movers?
Depending on how long they worked, how many awkward staircases they had to navigate, and how satisfied you are with their service, the standard tipping practice is $25-$50 per move or 10% to 15% of the move total. Providing snacks and drinks throughout the day will keep your moving team energized and moving quickly.
