1. You don't want your movers to arrive to your new place only to discover that you were supposed to reserve the service elevator ahead of time. Many properties won't allow you to use the main elevator because it will inconvenience current residents, so make sure to reserve it in advance.
2. Can your movers park at the curb in front of the door or do they need to park in a specific place? Can you reserve a space close to the door? This applies to a self-move, too, whether you have rented a moving truck or you have a couple buddies helping with their pickup trucks.
3.The less you have, the fewer boxes you need to move. Now is the time to sell, donate, or just get rid of anything you don't need. Keep in mind that if you donate, you can use the receipt to claim a tax deduction. |
