Minnetonka Moving Day: It's All in the Details

Your Minnetonka moving day is nearly here and you think you're almost ready to go. You hired your professional mover. Minnetonka's weather looks clear for your moving day. Everything for your Minnetonka move is just about packed, so now all you have to do is kick back, get some rest and wait for the professional mover company to show up. Right? Well... maybe.

We here at RJ Moving have helped many Minnetonka residents with our professional mover services. And thanks to our professional mover experience, we have seen a lot over the years. Here are a few things some folks forget to do in the days leading up to their moving day and on the actual moving day itself.

One of the most important and helpful things you can do for your professional mover company is label your moving boxes. You might start out strong with this task: almost everything is labeled and the boxes might even be color-coded! But as the days go on and packing becomes more and more of a hassle, you might not be as vigilant about labeling your boxes. This oversight can lead to confusion on your moving day for your professional mover company and in the days after when you're in your new Minnetonka home and you're trying to get unpacked and organized. As tempting as it might be to forgo this chore – don't! Keep labeling those boxes so you don't accidentally create extra work for yourself or your Minnetonka professional mover company!

Also, make sure you have plenty of boxes and the proper packing materials. You don't want to be packing items at the last minute only to find out you've run out of boxes, tape or packing material! If you hire a professional mover company like RJ Moving, you can trust our expert packing team to correctly estimate how many boxes you will need for your belongings, and they will also tell you how much packing material you will need for your Minnetonka move. They can also help you pack your items in only a day or two if you're running out of time!

Be sure not to pack any essentials you will need on your moving day or during the first few days at your new Minnetonka home. Make sure you leave out a few changes of clothes, basic toiletries, toilet paper, towels, etc. so you don't have to dig through a bunch of boxes to find what you need.

Also, take some time just after the professional mover company leaves your old home to make sure you packed everything. It's easy to overlook items that are tucked in the back of a drawer or closet in all of the chaos of packing and moving. Taking a few extra minutes to make sure you packed everything could save you a lot of time, money and hassle in the long run, especially during your first few days at your new Minnetonka home.
