Whether you are moving locally or relocating out of state, moving can be a hassle. But working with a packing crew makes it easier. Your involvement can help the process run smoothly, save time, and ensure your belongings are handled properly. Here are seven simple ways to assist the packing crew during your move.

Declutter and organize ahead of time
Go through your belongings and get rid of items you no longer need. Donate, sell, or discard unnecessary things to reduce what needs packing. Group similar items together and organize them by room so the crew knows where everything goes.
Label rooms and boxes
Use labels or sticky notes to clearly mark each room in your house. If you’re packing some items yourself, label boxes with their contents and destination. This small step avoids confusion and helps the crew pack and unload more efficiently.
Clear workspaces and pathways
Make sure the packing areas are free of obstacles. Move furniture, clear clutter, and ensure doorways and hallways are accessible. A clean, open space allows the crew to move quickly and safely.
Point out fragile or special items
Identify any fragile, valuable, or oddly shaped items that require extra care. Let the crew know if certain belongings need special handling or should be packed separately. This will ensure that these items are handled correctly.
Be available for questions
The packing crew might need clarification about where an item goes or how to handle specific belongings. Being available helps avoid delays and ensures your preferences are followed.
Provide refreshments
Packing and moving are physically demanding. Offer the crew water, coffee, or light snacks to keep them energized. It’s a thoughtful gesture that can boost morale and show your appreciation.
Prepare essential items separately
Set aside items you’ll need immediately after the move, such as toiletries, chargers, documents, or a change of clothes. Clearly mark these items and let the crew know not to pack them. This keeps your essentials accessible when you need them.
