The best movers in Tulsa can help you with just about every task your moving day will throw at you, but there are some duties that you should consider doing either before or after your moving day. For example: Your movers are more than happy to provide a full-service move for you which would include packing of all your household items –big and small. However; you stand to save a bundle if you handle packing either before or after your moving day. Furthermore; if you place all of your smaller household items and boxes in the same designated area, your movers are able to load the truck extremely quick as this creates a short simple path between the bulk of your items and the front door. If you want to have the lowest moving costs, help your movers help you by prepping for your moving day accordingly.

Offering your Tulsa movers a bottle of water is a nice gesture. Movers usually possess an intrinsic motivation to successfully and safely move their clients furnishings. However, providing refreshments is one way to keep them focused and show your appreciation. There’s no need to go out your way to provide snacks and anything else that might slow them down.

Some movers in Tulsa do allow you to leave your dressers packed. You know, when it comes to moving, every little bit helps. I simply mean the less you have to pack, the easier it is to move through your moving things to do list. When you find a Tulsa mover that allows you to leave your clothing in your dressers, that’s one indication that you’ve found a good moving company. However, don’t just settle for that, but a reputable mover will also include quilt-pad wrapping of your furniture and breakdown and reassembly of your furniture as well. The moving business is a part of the service industry. You should feel like your mover is going out of his or her way to ensure you have the best moving experience possible. If you’re not “feeling the love,” take your business to a Tulsa moving company that appreciates your patronage and exemplifies the type of customer satisfaction you deserve.

Packing your valuables with quality moving supplies is an integral component to ensuring your furnishings arrive at your destination unscathed. Note the items below and secure them for your upcoming relocation.

• Boxes
  It may seem obvious – but boxes will be necessary. You can buy these boxes from your Tulsa moving company. Many acquire free boxes from area local businesses. These businesses dispose of received boxes and make available for customers who ask.
• Scissors and Tape
  Keep a few rolls of a packing tape and a few pairs of scissors around. You’ll be surprised how quick you’ll misplace them in all the chaos of moving.
• Colored Markers
  Labeling boxes properly is paramount in a quick and organized move, particularly if you’re using professional Tulsa movers. Color-coding or at a minimum labeling can be very effective in getting boxes placed where you need them.
• Packing or Butcher Paper
  Butcher or packing paper can be helpful in packing valuables.
• Moving Blankets
  Not necessary if you have professional movers coming – but in a DYI move blankets are essential to packing and carrying large but fragile items such as mirrors and picture frames. Use heavy blankets to wrap these items to prevent breakage.
• Box Cutter
  Keep one or two (they’re easily misplaced) handy while packing or unpacking. Be sure to retract the cutter’s blade when not in use to prevent injury. Keep the box cutter out of reach of children.
• Gloves
  Good strong fiber work gloves can be helpful, especially when moving heavy furniture that is awkward to grip.
• Bubble Wrap
  Bubble wrap can be useful for packing fragile items such as dishes. Adding a layer between stacked dishes can help prevent breakage.
