Moving questions, answered by experts

You can’t start preparing for movers too soon. Some steps, like scheduling the movers and arranging for pet care, need to happen months ahead to fit into busy schedules, especially if you’re moving during on-season.

Several weeks ahead of the moving date, start packing lesser-used rooms and supplies. As the moving day gets closer, move your packing toward more and more essential rooms until only a few necessities are left on the day ahead of the move.

Most professional movers can provide a wide range of moving-related services, and you’ll need to pick and choose which ones you want to use. Examples of common services offered include the following:

Organizing and packing your belongings
Protecting delicate items with bubble wrap or other protective equipment
Moving your belongings and furniture out of your old home
Moving your belongings into your new home within a certain distance
Unpacking your belongings in the new location
Moving heavy items, like pianos
Moving your vehicles
Storage if your new home isn’t ready

If you don’t have dividers, wrap each wine glass individually using bubble wrap or packing paper to cushion both the bowl and delicate stem. Secure the wrapping with tape and place glasses upright in a sturdy box, layering soft items like dish towels, crumpled paper, or clothing between them to prevent shifting. Fill any gaps with padding to keep glasses snug, and label the box “FRAGILE–HANDLE WITH CARE” to ensure careful handling.

The cost to rent a moving truck is $1,000, with a typical range running between $20 and $3,500, depending on the truck size and how far you are moving.

The size of the safe will determine the type of dolly that will work best for transporting your gun safe. You will need to ensure it is a heavy-duty appliance dolly made to move heavy items, such as appliances or pianos. Always check the weight of your safe beforehand so you can rent or buy the correct dolly that can withstand its weight.
