Moving Tips from Fair Deal Movers

1. Sort & Declutter

Don’t move things you don’t need! Donate or throw away items you haven’t used in the past year.

2. Throw Away Hazardous Stuff

Items like paint, gas, and cleaning chemicals can’t go on the truck. Dispose of them safely.

3. Keep Valuables with You

Important items like jewelry, money, and personal documents should stay with you—not in the moving truck.

4. Confirm Moving Date Early

Book your move 2–3 weeks in advance and confirm all details with our team.

5. Make a List of Stored Items

Don’t forget things in garages, storage units, or closets. Make a list so nothing gets left behind.

6. Label Special-Handling Items

Let us know if you have glass tables, artwork, or anything that needs extra care.

7. Check Parking for the Truck

Make sure there’s space near your home for the big moving truck. If not, extra charges may apply.

8. Plan for Stairs or Elevators

Tell us if your home has stairs or if an elevator is needed so we can be prepared.

9. Keep One Phone Working

Don’t disconnect your phone until the move is done. It’s important to stay in touch on moving day.

10. Share Your New Contact Info

Give us your cell number and the address or hotel where you’ll be during the move.
