How Do You Find Movers in East Village, Calgary You Can Actually Trust?
Ecoway Movers brings 7,000+ completed Calgary moves and full CAM membership, AMVIC registration, and WCB coverage to every East Village job — so you can verify our credentials before a single box moves. East Village is not a typical Calgary neighbourhood. Its high-rise condo towers along 9 Avenue SE demand a mover who knows freight elevator protocols, condo board requirements, and loading dock timing from the first call. This section explains exactly why that experience matters and what sets our team apart.
East Village is almost entirely high-rise residential. Every building has its own freight elevator protocol, its own move-in time window — usually two to four hours — and its own condo board rules around damage deposits and proof of insurance. Loading dock access on 9 Avenue SE and the surrounding downtown streets is restricted, and parking a moving truck without advance coordination invites fines and delays. Building management often requires a certificate of insurance from the mover before granting access. The concierge enforces the schedule strictly.
Ecoway Movers carries every credential a responsible East Village resident should demand. Our CAM membership is verifiable online. Our WCB Alberta clearance letter is available on request.
We do not use bait-and-switch pricing. You receive a written quote before we load a single item. When you compare us to the unlicensed operators advertising on Kijiji with no physical address and no accountability, the difference is not subtle.
Look for a physical business address, verified online reviews, a real WCB clearance letter, and a written contract before you hand anyone the keys to your condo. Our team meets every one of those standards — and we have been completing reliable moving services in Calgary since 2009. Request your free quote to see exactly what your East Village move will cost.
The "Eco" in Ecoway Movers is not a marketing label — it reflects three practices our crew follows on every job. First, we use heavy-duty reusable moving blankets instead of single-use plastic stretch wrap wherever possible, cutting plastic waste on every move. Second, we offer recyclable and biodegradable packing materials as the default for customers who want them, including recycled cardboard boxes and paper-based padding instead of foam. Third, we plan truck routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary kilometres and fuel consumption per job.
East Village residents tend to be urban professionals who care about their environmental footprint — and they notice when a moving company's practices match those values. We do not overclaim. These are the specific things we do, and we do them consistently.
What East Village Moving Services Does Ecoway Movers Handle?
Ecoway Movers covers the full range of East Village moving needs — from a single studio apartment to a full commercial office floor — with one crew managing every step so you never juggle multiple vendors or discover a service gap on moving day.
How Does Ecoway Movers Handle Residential and Condo Moving in East Village?
Ecoway Movers handles East Village residential moves end-to-end — from coordinating your freight elevator booking with building management to clearing the loading dock before your time window expires. East Village's housing stock is almost entirely high-rise condos and apartment towers, which means every move involves the same sequence: confirming the allocated elevator slot, protecting the elevator interior walls and floor with moving pads, navigating narrow condo hallways without damaging paint or trim, and loading at the dock promptly.
Our crew arrives before your elevator window opens — not at the start of it. We pad elevator doors and hallway walls before anything moves through them. We work within the building's time restrictions and communicate with your concierge directly if access questions arise during the move.
We serve both directions: residents moving out of East Village to another Calgary neighbourhood, and residents moving into East Village from a house or apartment elsewhere in the city. If you are relocating from a family home in a Calgary suburb into an East Village condo, our crew handles the full-service transition including furniture sizing for your new space.
Residential Move Includes:
- Freight elevator coordination with building management
- Hallway and elevator wall padding protection
- Full furniture loading, transport, and placement
- Loading dock access coordination
- Certificate of insurance provided to condo board on request
- Floor and wall protection throughout
What Packing and Unpacking Services Does Ecoway Movers Offer in East Village?
Ecoway Movers offers three levels of packing support so you choose exactly how much help you need. Full packing means our team packs your entire home before moving day — every room, every item. Partial packing means you handle some areas and we handle the rest, or we focus specifically on fragile and high-value items while you pack everyday goods. Unpacking at your destination is available as a standalone add-on after the move is complete.
Professional packing matters particularly in East Village condo moves. Items that are not properly packed face higher damage risk when navigating tight freight elevator interiors and narrow condo hallways. A box that shifts during an elevator ride can crack glassware.
A frame that is not wrapped correctly gets corner damage on a tight turn. Glassware, artwork, mirrors, and electronics get specialist attention from our packing team — purpose-wrapped, clearly labelled, and loaded in the correct position.
Packing materials — quality boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape — are available through Ecoway and priced transparently in your quote. We do not treat packing as a luxury upsell. For anyone without time to pack or anyone who has experienced breakage in a previous move, it is a practical risk-reduction step worth its cost.
Three Packing Tiers:
- Full Packing — Team packs everything before moving day
- Partial Packing — Fragile and high-value items handled by us
- Unpacking — We unpack and place at your destination
Fragile Items We Specialist-Wrap:
- Glassware and ceramics
- Artwork and framed pieces
- Electronics and screens
- Mirrors and glass tabletops
How Does Ecoway Movers Handle Furniture Moving and Assembly in East Village?
Ecoway Movers handles furniture disassembly before the move and full reassembly at your destination — and our crew brings all the tools required. You do not need to disassemble anything in advance unless you choose to. Many East Village condo elevators and hallways physically cannot accommodate large furniture assembled — bed frames, sectional sofas, large dining tables, and wardrobe units typically need to be broken down to fit through freight elevator doors and narrow corridors safely. Our team assesses this before loading begins and breaks down only what needs it.
Floor and wall protection runs throughout every furniture move. We lay floor runners before rolling anything heavy across your hardwood, and we pad elevator doors and hallway walls before bringing anything through. This prevents scratching in condo common areas — damage you as the resident may be held responsible for if it occurs without protection in place.
Heavy items, antiques, couches and sofas, large appliances, and fragile older pieces all get specific handling based on their weight, material, and fragility. If you have an item you are concerned about, tell us when booking and we will factor it into the crew plan for your move.
Furniture Types We Handle:
- Bed frames (all sizes) — disassembled and reassembled
- Sectional sofas — broken down for elevator access
- Wardrobe and armoire units
- Large dining tables and glass tops
- Antique and heritage pieces
- Large appliances
What Specialty Items Does Ecoway Movers Move in East Village Condos?
Ecoway Movers handles items that standard moving companies often decline or mishandle. Our specialty categories cover the items most likely to go wrong without the right equipment and crew knowledge.
Upright and grand pianos require specialist dollies, custom padding, and careful angle management in East Village freight elevators. Elevator dimensions are confirmed before move day.
Safes require structural weight planning before loading. We confirm weight capacity of elevator floors and use appropriate dollies and strapping for safe buildings access.
Custom wrapping and flat or upright transport positioning depending on the piece. Museum-quality handling for heritage works and original artwork.
Treadmills, weight racks, and multi-station machines are disassembled where needed and reassembled at your East Village condo with tools included.
Contact Ecoway Movers to discuss any unusual or oversized item — we will confirm elevator dimensions and create a handling plan specific to your East Village building before committing to the move date.
Specialty Items We Handle:
- Pianos — upright and grand
- Safes and gun safes
- Fine art and framed pieces
- Antique furniture
- Gym and fitness equipment
- Large appliances
All specialty items quoted separately — contact us before booking to confirm elevator compatibility and handling plan.
How Does Ecoway Movers Handle Commercial and Office Relocation in East Village?
Ecoway Movers serves East Village businesses of all sizes — from startups in shared office spaces to professional firms occupying multiple floors. Our commercial service is designed around one primary concern: keeping your downtime as short as possible. We coordinate after-hours and weekend moves so your team arrives at the new location on Monday morning without a single day of disrupted operations.
IT and electronics get careful handling. Computers, monitors, servers, and office equipment are padded appropriately, cables are labelled before disconnection, and boxes are marked by department so setup at the new location is logical rather than chaotic. We do not just move hardware — we move it in a way that makes reconnection straightforward for your IT team.
Commercial moves in East Village buildings follow their own access rules — freight elevator time slots, loading dock coordination with building security, and separate COI requirements from business tenants versus residential tenants. Ecoway Movers navigates all of this as part of the move plan, not as a surprise on the day. A commercial moving quote from us is tailored to your actual scope and timeline — call us to discuss your specific relocation.
Commercial Move Covers:
- After-hours and weekend scheduling
- IT equipment with cable labelling
- Office furniture disassembly and reassembly
- Freight elevator and loading dock coordination
- COI provided to building management
- Custom quotes by scope and timeline
Ecoway Movers handles East Village residential moves end-to-end — freight elevator coordination, hallway and elevator wall protection, loading dock access, and COI documentation for your condo board. We serve both directions: moving out of East Village and moving into East Village from elsewhere in Calgary. Our crew arrives before your elevator window opens and works within building time restrictions throughout.
We offer full packing, partial packing (fragile and high-value items), and unpacking at destination. Professional packing reduces breakage risk significantly in tight East Village elevator environments. Glassware, artwork, electronics, and mirrors get specialist wrapping. Packing materials are priced transparently in your quote.
Our crew disassembles and reassembles furniture as needed — bed frames, sectional sofas, wardrobe units, and large tables that cannot fit assembled in East Village freight elevators. Floor runners and wall padding are used throughout. You do not need to disassemble anything in advance unless you choose to.
Ecoway Movers handles pianos (upright and grand), safes, fine art, gym equipment, large appliances, and antique furniture. All specialty items require advance notice and a separate quote. Elevator dimensions are confirmed before the move date for oversized items.
After-hours and weekend commercial moves to minimise downtime. IT equipment handled with cable labelling and proper padding. Freight elevator and loading dock coordination included.
COI provided to building management. Custom quotes by scope — call to discuss your East Village office relocation.
Are You Moving In or Out of East Village? We Know This Neighbourhood.
Ecoway Movers understands East Village as a physical and regulatory environment — not just as a point on a map. This is a dense, high-rise, downtown-adjacent community with building rules and access constraints that movers unfamiliar with the area routinely get wrong. This section explains what we handle for you before, during, and after your move.
Ecoway Movers treats elevator coordination as a standard deliverable on every East Village move — not a detail for the customer to sort out alone. Nearly every residence in East Village sits in a high-rise condo tower. Virtually all of these buildings require residents to book the freight or service elevator in advance for moving day, and the rules around those bookings are strict.
Bookings typically need to be made 48 to 72 hours in advance at a minimum. Popular weekend slots — particularly end-of-month Saturdays in peak season — can be taken weeks out. Bookings run through your building's concierge or property management office.
Most buildings assign a specific two-to-four hour window during which the elevator is reserved for your move exclusively. When that window ends, building management releases the elevator for general use. If your movers are still in the middle of a load, access stops.
Most condo boards also require a refundable damage deposit before the move is permitted — typically held against any damage to common areas, elevator walls, or loading dock infrastructure. Ecoway Movers works within all of these constraints as a normal part of service. Our crew arrives ahead of your window start time, uses moving pads to protect elevator walls and floors throughout, and clears the area before the time window expires. We can also help you understand what documentation your specific building needs — including providing a certificate of insurance directly to building management if that is required before access is granted.
East Village sits directly adjacent to downtown Calgary, and moving truck parking in this area requires advance planning that most moving companies skip. Our crew handles all of it as part of your move plan so you are not scrambling on moving day.
Streets near East Village — including sections of 9 Avenue SE and the surrounding downtown grid — have loading zone restrictions with time limits. A large moving truck without a permit can attract a fine and a forced move during your elevator window. The loading docks of East Village condo buildings are often shared between multiple tenants and must be coordinated with building management. The dock access time typically aligns with your freight elevator booking — arriving with the wrong truck size or at the wrong dock entrance can cause delays that eat into your reserved window.
Ecoway Movers identifies the correct loading dock for your specific building before moving day. We confirm access timing with building management, arrive with the right truck size for the available access point, and position the vehicle to minimise the carry distance from truck to elevator. Where required, we coordinate with the City of Calgary on temporary loading zone access to ensure our truck is parked legally for the duration of your move.
Ecoway Movers handles local moves within Calgary and long-distance moves originating from East Village. For local moves, we regularly serve the neighbouring communities — Beltline, Kensington, Bridgeland, Mission, Inglewood, downtown Calgary, Ramsay, Victoria Park, and Forest Lawn. Short local moves — even just a few kilometres from East Village to the Beltline or across the river to Bridgeland — are handled efficiently with no minimum charge penalties that some companies impose on shorter jobs.
For long-distance moves, we cover the major interprovincial routes from Calgary: to Edmonton, to Vancouver, and to Toronto. A long-distance move from East Village involves coordinated scheduling, consolidated or dedicated shipment depending on volume, clear delivery timelines, and direct communication from our team during transit. You will know where your belongings are and when they will arrive.
Contact Ecoway Movers to confirm coverage for a specific address or destination not listed here. We serve a wide range of Alberta and interprovincial routes and can usually confirm availability within the same business day.

What Are the Transparent Moving Costs for East Village, Calgary?
Moving costs in Calgary can feel unpredictable — and hidden fees on moving day are a genuine and widespread problem. Ecoway Movers operates with transparent pricing on every East Village job. This section explains how we price your move, what is and is not included, and how insurance protects your belongings.
How Does Ecoway Movers Price Your East Village Move?
Ecoway Movers prices East Village moves based on five factors: the size of your home (number of bedrooms or estimated volume), the distance to your destination, the number of movers the job requires, the access complexity of your specific building, and whether packing or specialty item handling is included. Access complexity in East Village covers elevator time windows, loading dock configuration, walking distance from the dock to your unit, and any building-specific requirements your condo board has set.
We offer free in-home or virtual video assessments for larger moves before providing a quote. A physical or video walkthrough produces a significantly more accurate quote than a phone estimate based on a bedroom count alone. For East Village condo moves, seeing the actual volume of your belongings — and confirming which items may need specialty handling — allows us to give you a number that holds on moving day rather than a ballpark that grows.
Every quote is written, provided before the move begins, and not revised upward without your knowledge and consent. That is the Alberta Consumer Protection Act standard, and it is how we run every job.

Is Hourly or Flat-Rate Pricing Better for an East Village Condo Move?
Flat-rate pricing offers more predictability for most East Village condo moves. Here is why: elevator time window constraints can extend an hourly move unpredictably. If the freight elevator runs behind because a previous resident's slot ran long, your crew waits.
On hourly pricing, that wait costs you money. On a flat rate, it does not — the agreed price holds regardless of access delays outside your control.
Hourly pricing still makes sense for straightforward situations: a small studio with few items, a labour-only job where no truck is needed, or a move where the elevator is not a variable. But for a typical East Village two-bedroom or three-bedroom condo move with full furniture and standard condo building access constraints, flat-rate pricing gives you a number you can budget against without anxiety. Ecoway Movers recommends flat-rate for most East Village condo jobs specifically because of elevator timing risk. Request a free quote to get a specific recommendation for your move.
What Is and Is Not Included in Your East Village Moving Quote?
Knowing exactly what your quote covers removes the biggest source of moving anxiety — the fear of a larger number on moving day. Here is what Ecoway Movers includes as standard in every East Village move quote and what is not included unless specifically added.
Included in Your Quote
- Moving team's labour for the full job
- Truck and fuel (local Calgary moves)
- Standard reusable moving blankets and straps
- Disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture
- Elevator wall and floor protection padding

Not Included (Unless Added)
- Packing materials (boxes, bubble wrap, paper)
- Long-haul fuel surcharges for interprovincial moves
- Specialty item handling fees (piano, safe)
- Storage fees if applicable
- Packing labour (full or partial packing service)
- Third-party moving insurance upgrades
How Does Moving Insurance Protect Your Belongings on an East Village Move?
Ecoway Movers carries its own liability insurance on every job — this is a company operating requirement, not an optional extra. Two types of coverage exist in the moving industry, and understanding the difference matters before your move begins.
Released value protection is the industry default. It covers damaged items at $0.60 per pound regardless of what the item is actually worth. A 50-pound television worth $900 gets you $30 under this plan.
It is included free — and it is often insufficient for high-value items. Full value protection changes that equation: under this plan, the mover must repair the damaged item, replace it with a comparable item, or pay you the current market value. It costs approximately 1% of your declared shipment value and is worth it for anyone moving electronics, artwork, or furniture above everyday replacement cost.
Customers can also purchase third-party moving insurance for additional coverage on items of particularly high value. Your homeowner or tenant insurance policy may cover some items during a move — but many policies exclude transit damage or cap coverage at low limits. Call your insurer before moving day to confirm exactly what your policy covers in transit. Ecoway Movers provides documentation of our insurance to building management or customers on request at any time.
What Do Our East Village Customers Say About Ecoway Movers?
These are real customer experiences from Calgary moves completed by Ecoway Movers, drawn from our verified Google Reviews profile.
"We had a great experience with Ecoway Movers during our move in Calgary near Evanston. The team was hardworking, friendly, and very professional. We moved from a third floor two bedroom apartment into a two storey home about twenty miles away. The movers arrived about ten minutes early and immediately started working at a steady pace. They even helped pack a few items that we had not finished boxing yet. The entire move was handled efficiently and safely without any delays."
"Hiring Ecoway Movers turned out to be the best decision for my recent move. Rick followed up promptly and was very reassuring. Coordinating packing and moving was handled flawlessly. Their professional vehicle transport service kept my car in perfect condition. The secure warehousing option was a lifesaver during the transition. Highly recommend Ecoway Movers to anyone!"
"Great service from Ecoway Movers on our recent move in Calgary. The movers showed up about 30 minutes early and got to work right away, which I really appreciated. Everything moved along quickly but never felt rushed. They were very careful while packing and loading, and nothing was damaged during the move. You could tell they knew how to handle both fragile and heavier items properly. Planning was also easy ,communication stayed clear and responses were quick whenever I had questions. This move was around Kensington, and it honestly went smoother than I expected. I’d happily use Ecoway Movers again for a future move and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them based on this experience."
Storage, Senior Moving, and Last-Minute Requests in East Village
Not every move fits a standard timeline. Some East Village clients need short-term storage between possession dates. Some are seniors navigating a major life transition.
Some simply need a crew available this week. Ecoway Movers handles all three situations directly.
Moving and Storage Solutions in East Village
Ecoway Movers offers storage as an integrated part of your move — not a referral to a third-party facility. The situations that require it are common in East Village: your condo closing date arrives before your new unit is ready, renovation work is underway at the destination, or you are staging a move in batches. We place your items directly into climate-controlled storage and deliver them to your final destination when you are ready.
Climate-controlled storage matters in Calgary. The city's temperature extremes — from summer heat to deep winter cold — can damage wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, and musical instruments when stored in unregulated facilities. Short-term and long-term storage are both available. Contact us to discuss your specific timeline and we will build the storage leg into your overall move quote.
Moving Services for Seniors and Downsizing in Calgary
Ecoway Movers approaches senior moves with specific care — not a faster version of a standard residential move. The common scenario: a senior or couple who has lived in a Calgary house for decades is downsizing into an East Village condo. That means selecting which items move, which items go to family, and which items are donated or removed. It also means navigating the emotional weight of leaving a long-term family home.
Our crew moves at the pace the customer needs. We take direction carefully, do not rush decisions, and assist with coordinating furniture donation or removal of items that will not fit in the new space. If you are a family member organising this move on behalf of a parent, our team treats your parent with full respect and patience throughout the entire day. We have done this many times and understand what it requires.
Need Movers Tomorrow? How Does Ecoway Movers Handle Urgent East Village Moves?
Ecoway Movers handles same-day, next-day, and short-notice moving requests in East Village when schedule allows. The situations that create urgency are real: a lease ending unexpectedly, a landlord dispute requiring fast exit, a job relocation with a tight deadline, or a booking with another mover that fell through at the last minute.
Call us directly at +1-587-329-3477 for urgent requests — a phone call gets a faster response than an online form. We will confirm availability honestly. Note that East Village building elevator bookings may limit true same-day access in some towers — we tell you this upfront rather than promising access we cannot guarantee.
When same-day is possible, we move fast. When it is not, we give you the earliest realistic date and a crew that is fully prepared when they arrive.
East Village Moving FAQ — Answered by Ecoway Movers
The most common questions we receive about moving in East Village, Calgary — answered with specifics, not generalities.
Book at least 3–4 weeks ahead during peak season (May through September) and 2 weeks minimum outside peak season. East Village buildings require freight elevator bookings that fill up fast — especially on weekends and end-of-month dates during summer. Your elevator booking time must align exactly with your mover's arrival window.
Confirm both before locking in your date. Ecoway Movers helps you coordinate this during the booking process.
A studio or one-bedroom local move within Calgary typically runs $350–$700. A two- or three-bedroom East Village condo move runs $700–$1,800 depending on access complexity, elevator timing, and distance. Commercial moves are quoted custom based on scope and business size.
These figures are estimates — elevator time constraints, specialty items, and building-specific access all affect the final number. Request a free quote for an accurate figure tied to your specific East Village building and destination.
Flat-rate pricing is more predictable for most East Village condo moves. Elevator time window constraints can extend an hourly move unpredictably — if access is delayed by building management or a previous resident runs late, every extra minute on hourly pricing costs you money. Flat-rate pricing absorbs those delays without changing your final invoice.
Hourly pricing still makes sense for small moves with few items and no elevator dependency. Ecoway Movers recommends flat-rate for most East Village condo jobs.
Reputable Calgary movers carry liability insurance. This covers damage caused by the moving crew during the move. Always ask for a certificate of insurance before booking — Ecoway Movers provides this on request and delivers it directly to your condo board or building management when required. We also carry full WCB Alberta coverage and CAM membership, both verifiable independently before your move begins.
Contact your building's concierge or property management office. Ask for available moving time slots, confirm the two-to-four hour window assigned to you, and pay any required damage deposit (typically refundable after the move if no damage occurs). Share your confirmed elevator time with Ecoway Movers immediately after booking so our crew can schedule to arrive before your window opens — not at the start of it. If your building requires COI documentation from the mover, we provide that directly to management.
Ecoway Movers cannot transport hazardous materials (paint, propane tanks, solvents, chemicals), perishable food, plants on long-distance interprovincial moves, and unlabelled liquids. Firearms must travel with the owner under Canadian law. Opened liquid containers present spill risk in transit and should be consumed, disposed of, or transported separately. Confirm the complete restricted items list with us when booking so there are no surprises on moving day.
Yes — Ecoway Movers handles pianos (both upright and grand) and safes in East Village condo buildings. These items require advance notice and a separate specialty quote. Before confirming the move date, we verify your building's freight elevator interior dimensions to confirm the item will fit.
Piano moves require specialist piano boards, custom padding, and trained lifters experienced with angle management in tight elevator spaces. Safes require structural weight planning and appropriate heavy-lift dollies before loading begins. Give us the item details when you book.
Double-box fragile items and use packing paper between layers — not newspaper, which transfers ink onto surfaces. Label boxes FRAGILE on all four sides and the top, not just on one face. Pack heavier items at the bottom of each box and lighter fragile items above. For irreplaceable or high-value pieces, let Ecoway Movers' packing team handle wrapping — professional materials and technique reduce breakage risk significantly in the tight elevator environments common in East Village condo towers.
Hire professionals for East Village condo moves. Driving a large moving truck in dense downtown Calgary traffic is stressful under normal conditions. In East Village, you also face limited truck parking near loading docks, loading zone time restrictions on streets around 9 Avenue SE, building-specific elevator bookings, and condo board requirements for COI documentation.
Professional movers handle every one of these variables daily. A DIY truck rental in East Village transfers the full complexity of downtown condo logistics to you — and mistakes there have consequences, including building fines and lost elevator access.
Watch for these specific warning signs: no physical business address (cell-only operators are common on Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace), a large cash deposit required before the move, refusal to provide a certificate of insurance, no written quote, and no verifiable Google reviews or BBB listing. Any mover that cannot provide WCB coverage documentation and AMVIC registration is operating without required Alberta credentials. Check the company's Google Business Profile and BBB listing before you hand over any payment or building access. Ecoway Movers meets every standard on this list — and welcomes verification.
Ecoway Movers handles urgent and same-day requests when schedule allows. Call us directly at +1-587-329-3477 for the fastest confirmation — a phone call reaches our team faster than any online form for time-sensitive situations. Note that East Village building elevator bookings may limit true same-day access in some towers — certain buildings require 48-hour minimum notice for freight elevator reservations. We give you an honest answer on what is possible for your specific building rather than committing to a timeline we cannot deliver.
East Village is one of Calgary's most walkable urban neighbourhoods, positioned along the Bow River with direct access to downtown Calgary. Cultural landmarks are within easy walking distance: the National Music Centre and Studio Bell, the Calgary Public Library's central branch, and St. Patrick's Island park just across the river.
The neighbourhood suits urban professionals who prefer high-density condo living with amenities accessible on foot rather than by car. If you are weighing East Village against suburban Calgary, the trade-off is space for walkability and urban energy.
Confirm your elevator booking with building management the day before — do not assume the slot is locked unless you have written confirmation. Clear a path from your front door through all rooms so the crew can move efficiently. Seal and label every box with the destination room, not just the contents.
Disconnect and defrost appliances 24 hours before the move (fridges require this). Set aside medications, valuables, important documents, and anything that should travel with you personally — these should not go in the moving truck. Be present for the duration of the move, or designate a trusted person who can answer questions and make decisions on your behalf.
