11 tips to save you time, money and headache

1.) Don't stress and let the movers do their job. Stress is contagious and we've seen the best movers rattled by it.

2.) Assure you have all keys and passwords to storage(s) and new apartment/ homes. You don't want your movers waiting around on the clock while the storage company is still issuing you a key.

3.) Give movers a detailed tour of your place and show movers what items you want special care on. When the movers know what's going and what's not, they are able to pack the truck more efficiently.

4.) Give movers another tour of the new place and tell movers where you would like your bed and other big items placed. We have seen many customers change their mind which costs them more time. Also, you don't want movers removing items.

5.) Please keep children and pets away from moving site as much as possible. Not only is it a safety issue but movers have to move slower to make sure they don't hurt anyone.

6.) When packing boxes, make sure they are closed. Movers can carry more per trip and they can stack them easier.

7.) Any dis-assembly you may do on your own will help make the move swifter like washer/dryers, mirror's on dressers, tables, bunk beds. If you can't or don't want to do this, Swift Movers can do it at no extra fee.

8.) Save us a good parking spot. If you live in apartments try to arrange a good parking spot where we can park our moving truck as close as possible to your front door.

9.) Clear the clutter. It takes longer for a mover to clear a dresser top to move it and dance around items on the floor when carrying it away.

10.) Disconnect all the wires from the back of TV's and entertainment consoles.

11.) Know where your items are going. Labeling boxes with color coding or a marker will help your movers know where to take it instead of him stopping to ask you where each box may go.

We aim to make your move swift and safe as possible. You as a customer play a role and these tips help us do our job swifter.
