Home Moving Services: What to Expect

So finally, you have decided to make the right choice and hire professional movers to move your home. Are you wondering what to expect from your hired movers? It is natural to feel a little bit of anxiety in such situations. As most people relocate for the first time in their lives, a little anxiety and stress are normal. But by knowing what to expect from your movers, all your worries will go away. One of the best ways to let go of your anxiety is by calling your movers and asking them all your questions.

You may be curious about what happens on mobbing day, what movers actually do, how they arrive at your place, and where they begin from. Here’s an article from Kingdom International Movers, which is one of the oldest home movers and packers in Dubai. We have compiled this article to help you understand what to expect from your movers on your moving day.

Arriving On Time

Most professional movers ensure that they reach your home on time. Some unavoidable circumstances like traffic jams may delay your movers, but the majority of them try to reach their destination on time. The lead member of the moving crew is usually the driver. As soon as they reach your home in their moving truck, the driver introduces himself and his crew to you.

The driver then gives you all the paperwork. Make sure you read everything carefully and take your copy when you sign the paperwork. The moving crew usually arrives in the moving truck itself. So, ensure that there is ample space in front of your house to park the moving truck. Professional house movers and packers in Dubai always have their big logos painted on the moving truck’s body. The uniforms of crew members have the logo of the moving company on them as well. After you are satisfied with every detail described above, you can ask the crew to start working.

Making an Inventory List

Most house movers in Dubai start by making an inventory list first. Even if you have made an inventory list and mailed it to your movers, they will still make one inventory list quickly and professionally. Having an inventory list helps movers decide what is to be moved and tracked and what isn’t moved.

An inventory list also helps movers find missing items if anything goes missing. While making the inventory list, the mover assesses the condition of every single object and assigns it a number.

Make sure that you check the copy of the inventory list before proceeding ahead and also ensure that the conditions of the items described in it are correct. Always get a copy of the inventory list for yourself from your movers. We, Kingdom International Movers, are one of the most professional movers and packers in Dubai. We always take care that all copies are provided to our clients.

Protecting Your Home For Moving

Professional movers and packers in Dubai first take measures to protect your house after documentation is done and then start with other activities. Moving activities can damage your walls and other building parts. So it is of the utmost necessity that the house is protected before other moving activities begin. At Kingdom International Movers, we use carpet protectors, moving blankets, and plywood sheets to protect your floor, staircase, carpets, and other things from dirt, dents, and scratches, and to create a flat, non-slip moving surface. Creating such a flat surface reduces the risk of tripping and falling while hauling heavy items.

What’s more, is that your movers will come prepared with all the necessary equipment and tools that are required during the entire move. This is what you can expect: safety and protection when you hire professional movers and packers in Dubai like Kingdom International Movers.

Packing

After the inventory list is prepared and your house is well protected, the movers will then proceed towards packing your belongings. Some of the best movers in Dubai come prepared with all the boxes, tapes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and other required items for packing. If you are taking full service, then the movers will pack everything for you. If you take half service, then it will be your responsibility to pack everything and keep it ready for the moving day.

If you have costly artwork or a lot of fragile items, then you can take your packers’ help for packing only those specific things while you can pack the rest of your things on your own.

Disassembling Furniture

Heavy furniture pieces like couches and beds cannot be moved as a whole. They need to be disassembled before they can be packed and loaded into the moving truck. While some team members start packing, the leader will ask the carpentry expert from the crew to start disassembling furniture. After the furniture is disassembled, all individual pieces are then carefully packed with bubble wrap to prevent dents and scratches from forming on them.

Loading Moving Truck

When you hire apartment movers in Dubai and they are done with packing and protecting your belongings, then they will proceed towards loading your moving truck. While loading your truck, the movers ensure that no items are loose and moving or bumping in the truck. Movers pack the truck from floor to roof for this purpose. Your movers will also use mats, straps, belts, and safety harnesses to ensure that no box in the truck is left moving or shaking. Shaking and moving boxes can lead to severe damage to goods.

After your moving truck is loaded, your movers will remove all the equipment and protection materials from your house. At this time, you should take a final look at your house to see if you haven’t forgotten to pack anything. Check every little corner of your house and each storage space.

Moving Towards Your New Home

After everything is done, final checks are made, the moving truck is loaded, and the crew will then move towards driving all your belongings to your new home if you are moving within your country. If you are relocating your house internationally, then the movers will drive the moving truck towards the port to send your household goods in a shipment via sea freight or air freight. In either case, always remember to take the contact number and name of the driver who will be driving your moving truck to its destination. In the case of international relocation, ensure you take the tracking numbers and shipment id of your shipment.
