Moving Tip of the Week: Labeling Boxes & Direction

As a Cincinnati moving company who has been serving the tri-state area since 2005, our wealth of moving knowledge has given us the ability to offer our customers the smoothest moves possible. One situation we often seem to run into is that customers sometimes forget to label their boxes. This is important for two major reasons.

First, labeled boxes help us load your truck properly. If we don't know what boxes are and aren't fragile, those contents could stand a good chance of sustaining damage.

Second, as we are unloading your truck, unmarked boxes will force us to ask you where each individual box will need to go in your new home. Often times this means our customers will have to open the box to remember its contents. This creates a longer unload time, and ultimately, more money a customer will have to pay.

Another tip to help speed up the moving process is to be sure you are present as we're bringing in each piece of furniture to your new home. Even though we are trained and experienced Cincinnati movers, we unfortunately were never given the gift of telepathy. Being present to tell us where you'd like each piece of your furniture will ensure a much speedier move. Nothing can slow down a move quicker than a mover trying to find the homeowner to ask where a piece of furniture goes.

One method our customers have used in the past was labeling each box and furniture item with a piece of colored tape that corresponds with a particular room. For example: red = living room, yellow = dining room, green = bedroom, etc. As always, organization will always save you money.

From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!
