The Flat Screen Television Revolution!

So much has changed in the television industry since we opened our doors in 2005.  Gone our the days of the monstrous Sony Trinitrons, and have today met their successors with flat screen television sets that weigh many, many times less.  What does this mean for you?

As technology has advanced, so has the delicacy of the television.  That's why your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers recommend keeping the manufacturer's original box that you television came in.  It is NEVER a good idea to transport your TV with out the proper protection.  We've unloaded many trucks coming in to Cincinnati from out of town only to find the customer's $1500 investment destroyed by a cracked screen, or the tv smashed altogether because it wasn't properly protected.  Whether it's a local move or a long distance move, the protection of your TV is important.  The original manufacturers box typically comes with Styrofoam inserts specifically design for that television.

In the event that you can't find your original box, or you disposed of it, U-Haul has created an affordable and great solution.  The Flat Screen TV Box is expandable to fit most sets, and it also comes with Styrofoam inserts to protect the set while in the box.  This is an invaluable tool and we recommend it to all of our customers.  Best of all, the prices isn't bad either!  At just $19.95, you can protect your wallet from possibly shelling out several hundred to several thousand dollars for a new TV.

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

Bed Bugs and Other Hazardous Conditions

Moving is something we all do a few or several times in our lives.  As your Cincinnati moving company, we’re dedicated to giving you a low cost move with excellent service, but we CAN NOT stress the importance of making sure our movers have a safe environment to work in.  Please be aware of the following hazardous conditions that would prevent us from completing your move:

Bed Bugs: 

Cincinnati is ranked amongst the top cities in the nation for bed bug infestations.  If we arrive at your home and find bed bugs during your move, our movers will leave immediately.  We will not take the chance to spread these pests to our movers, their families, or the thousands of other families we move in the Cincinnati Tri-State.  We completely understand that having bed bugs can be embarrassing, but being honest with your movers up front is important for their health.  

Fleas:

These parasites are another example of conditions under which our movers will leave immediately.  No one likes to be bit!  We don’t, and especially not while we are moving!  Fleas are also easily transferred through clothing, and we don’t want to share these creatures with other Cincinnati families.

Mold:

Sometimes, customers will call us to request a clean out of a property they bought at an auction, a foreclosure, or from evicting a non-paying tenant.  In our experience, the customer has not yet been in the home and we often find black mold.  While not only difficult to breathe, the toxins produced by black mold are neurotoxic.  This means they can kill neurons in the brain and impair a person's mental ability. They also cause nervous disorders such as tremors and can cause personality changes such as mood swings and irritability.

Feces:

This is another condition that is found from circumstances related to foreclosures or evictions.  We will absolutely not move, in any home, where fecal matter is present on the floors, walls, fixtures, or furniture.  It simply isn’t right.  We are a moving company, not a hazmat crew, and health is a number one priority.

Again, the conditions listed above are circumstances in which we will not move you or be forced to leave upon the discovery of said conditions for health and safety concerns.  Customers will forfeit their deposit and be charged the standard two hour minimum regardless if we are forced to leave.  When booking your move, we do ask if any of these conditions are present in your home, so please be honest.

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

2014: What A Winter!!!

Most folks in the Cincinnati tri-state will tell you, it's been one heck of a winter, and we still have over a month to go till the first day of Spring!  Safety for our movers and your possessions is our first priority at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, and we want to review some of our winter policies with our current and potential customers.  In the event of ice or snow on your scheduled moving day, please have the following prepared before our arrival.  Not doing so will prevent us from completing your moving services because the risk of injury to our movers and damage to your property is increased under these types of weather conditions.

• Walkways around the truck and to your home must be cleared and salted.  Our movers require a clear and stable path with traction to properly move your belongings.

• Truck ramps must be cleared of all debree.  Metal ramps, which are already inclined surfaces, can quickly ice over and become dangerous and slippery.

• When covering your floors for protection, please only use an adhesive floor protector.   It is never safe to use loose blankets or broke-down boxes to protect your floors.  These items will bunch-up or slip-out from under your movers feet causing injury and/or damage.

• Please, under no circumstances, pour hot or scalding water on the iced-over ground in order to melt it. The water will only refreeze and likely cause an accident.  We recommend an ice-melt product that you can purchase from your local home improvement or grocery store.

• It is against our policy to remove our footwear at any time in order to prevent an accident.  We understand you might have a concern about bringing the outside mess into your home. We suggest having a mat at your front door in order for your movers to wipe their shoes off and a broom to sweep away any excess mess.

Thank you for your understanding and for your assistance through the winter moving season. We know these extra precautions can seem tedious, but we want you to have a safe and great moving experience!

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

Ask Move Cheap®: How Many Hours To Order

This week's Ask Move Cheap® segment comes from Shelly of Loveland, Ohio.  Shelly asks:

"How many hours of service should I order for the day of my move?"

Thanks for your excellent question, Shelly!  At Move Cheap®, we offer three solutions to accurately help you judge how many hours of service are necessary to complete your moving needs:  

• You can use our exclusive online Move Cheap® Moving Calculator.  Our Moving Calculator was designed so that our potential customers can answer the questions listed on the page, and be given an estimated price and hours needed to complete the service.  We are happy to report that we are the ONLY moving company in Cincinnati to offer this type of solution to our customers.
• You can call our retail office at 513-843-6719 seven days a week to speak with a customer  service expert who will be able to talk about your needs and give you an idea of the time necessary to complete your moving task.

We hope this answers your question, Shelly. From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one

Moving Tip of the Week: Lamp Shades

As your choice for moving in Cincinnati, Move Cheap® is dedicated to bringing you all the moving tips possible for a smooth move.  One item that is easy for our potential customers to forget to care for are lamp shades.  As you're packing your belongings, lamp shades are easily one of the last items you'd ever think to pack.  We want to remind you that these items are easily damaged if not packed in a box properly.  Lamp shades come in a variety of materials such as paper, fabric, plastic, and glass.  If one is damaged, it may be near impossible to find a matching replacement.  Be sure to place your lamp shades in a box and protect them with bubble wrap and/or packing paper when necessary.  After sealing the box, it is extremely important to label that box as FRAGILE so that your Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers will recognize that the box will need to be loaded in a safe place in your rental moving truck.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Packing Play List

As you favorite local movers in Cincinnati, one of the things customers tell us at Move Cheap® is that they hate to pack.  In fact, packing is the number one item our customers dislike about the moving process.  We're here to help you get through it.  We happily offer packing services to our customers, but to those who'd like to do it themselves, we offer this suggestion:  create a playlist to listen to while you're packing!  It will help lighten the mood, keep you motivated, and alleviate some of the stress that comes with moving.  To help get you started, we've listed our packing playlist below.  Love or hate them, the following 10 songs are recommended by the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers to listen to while packing:

1.  Rocketeer by Far East movement

2.  Learn To Fly by the Foo Fighters

3.  Perfect Day by Hoku

4.  500 Miles by The Proclaimers

5.  Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root

6.  Africa by Karl Wolf

7.  Soak Up The Sun by Sheryl Crow

8.  C'mon 'N Ride It (The Train) by Quad City DJ's

9.  Getting Jiggy Wit It by Will Smith

10.  The Game of Love by Michelle Branch featuring Santana

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

Ask Move Cheap®: House Closings

This week's Ask Move Cheap® segment comes from Dan of Cincinnati, Ohio. Dan asks:

"What happens if the closing on my house is delayed?"

No worries, Dan. This is a circumstance that we're not only accustomed to, but happens often in the moving business. When a lender or another party misplaces a document, it causes a closing to become delayed. Don't get discouraged, because Move Cheap® will work with you to reschedule your moving date. You don't lose your deposit because it transfers to your next choice of day. When you are made aware of your delay, contact us immediately so that we can discuss the next available date that works for you and for us.

Many times, customers will set up their move on the same day or the next day of their closing. While we are happy to do this, it can cause stress for the customers in the event of a delay in the closing process. We recommend scheduling your move at a minimum of one week from your time of closing to combat any unforeseen circumstances. This will help to give you ample time to re-coordinate your move if their is a delay.

We hope this answers your question, Dan. From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Moving Pads

As your favorite Cincinnati moving company, Move Cheap® always provides tools & multiple dollies at no additional charge with all of our services. Customers are still responsible for supplying moving pads and blankets, and one of the number one questions we receive is "How many blankets should I supply?".

Moving pads and blankets are important to supply with your truck because they help prevent scratches and dings to your furniture during transit. They are typically available from wherever you're renting your truck or mobile storage unit from. Below you will find the number of moving pads we suggest based on the size of truck you rent:

• 10 ft truck: 12 pads
• 12 - 14 ft truck: 18 pads
• 16 - 17 ft truck: 24 pads
• 20 - 22 ft truck: 30 pads
• 24 - 28 ft truck: 48 pads

We recommend blankets that are at least 68" by 55". If you're moving into a storage unit and are unable to rent moving pads, you can always purchase them from us or we can help you find a location to purchase them from!

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

Ask Move Cheap®: Deposits

This week's Ask Move Cheap® segment comes from Alyson of Florence, KY. Alyson asks:

"Could you explain how your deposit process works?"

Thanks for your question, Alyson! The Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers deposit is a $40.00 non-refundable deposit. Our deposits are non-refundable because there are occasions where a customer may order our services as a back-up plan, or they may need to cancel last minute. When they cancel with such short notice, we are unable to fill that spot and our movers lose work. The $40.00 deposit ensures we're retaining a serious customer and guarantees their reservation in our calendar. Although deposits are non-refundable, they are transferable. If something comes up and you need to change the date of your move you won' lose or have to pay another deposit. Your deposit simply transfers to the next date.

We hope this answers your question, Alyson. From all of us at the Move Cheap® Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: From the Mouth of the Movers

Often, the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers offer tips and advice to help your moving labor services run a lot smoother on your moving today. We decided to change it up a little this week and ask our seniority movers for personal advice that they'd offer to our Cincinnati Tri-State customers. Here's what they had to say:

Shane: The right size truck

"Renting the right size truck is key. Sometimes we accept a last minute job and arrive at the job site to find the customer is moving a four bedroom house with a 14ft U-Haul, but is moving cross country. These turn into bad situations because we can't fit everything into that small of a truck. You can always call our office, and one of the managers or staff will help you decide which truck size is best for your move."


Christian: Home Owner Assistance

"I've been very fortunate to find myself on several jobs with incredibly nice customers. But there are times when a customer can't stand to watch us do all the work, and they do nothing. Some customers then try to help by carrying boxes, or stacking small furniture items in the truck. Believe me, I appreciate the help, but you should really leave the work to your movers. That's what you've paid us to do. We have been trained and are experienced with how to pack your truck properly to prevent damage. Some customers invite their friends over to help also, and then suddenly there are 20 people walking in and out of a moving truck with no real direction on how it should be loaded. This can cause damage to your goods, and we want to make sure that's prevented at all times."


Jacob: Dust & Knick-Knacks

"My crew prides itself on providing an efficient, quick, and safe moving experience. My advice to a customer who wants their move to go as quickly and smoothly as possible is to clear off all of their furniture of dust and knick-knacks. Nothings worse than moving an armoire that is covered in years of dust and dirt, and sometimes, pet hair. As your tilting it, the dust get's in your eyes, nose, and mouth and causes you to reset the object to brush it off and clean off your face. Knick-Knacks can be even worse. Consider this: If we have to clear off every piece of furniture in your home to move it, that time begins to add up. And then if those same knick-knacks aren't boxed, we have to carry them out of your old home, and back into your new home, which creates a considerable amount of trips."


We hope these tips can help offer you a better moving day. From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: 5 Common Moving Mistakes to Avoid

It's never too early to begin your planning process if you are gearing up for a move. In fact, the sooner you start planning, the more smoothly your move will go. As a Cincinnati Moving company, there are several common mistakes, however, that we see time and again from customers. You can benefit from reviewing what they are and avoiding them.

• Being disorganized: Use a folder or binder to keep track of everything having to do with your move. This should include your receipts, paperwork, relocation information and anything else pertaining to your move. Without this, it's easy to get overwhelmed and lose important information that you might need for your employer or for your accountant.
  
  
• Blowing the budget: Have you sat down and created a budget for your move? Moving can be more expensive than you thought, especially if you factor in turning on/off utilities, gas, any lodging during the trip, etc. Think of everything you can and list it. If you don't create a budget, you might find yourself short on cash and unable to complete the move on your timeline.
  
  
• Choosing low quality movers: Did you check references and reviews? Are they a company or a fly-by-night organization? Can you reach customer service when you need to? Make a list of what's important to you during your move and then investigate who can give you the most value.
  
  
• Moving too many things: It's simple, really. If you don't need it, don't move it. Have a yard sale and make a few bucks before you move. Give away what you don't need. Just don't move it if you don't need to.
  
  
• Not communicating your new address: Changing your address is more than giving it to the Post Office. Make a list of everything that uses your address (school, doctor, accountant, magazines, etc.) and then create a note to send you new address to them all.
  

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Getting Your Deposit Back

As your Cincinnati moving company, we deem passing on information to help make your move smoother both important and a responsibility. We've heard horror stories from renters who have lost their deposits from shady apartment complexes. Although not all apartment complexes and managers act in this manner, there are some who are out to take your money and not look back. Here are a few suggestions we've learned along the way to help return that money to your pocket:

• Before moving into your new apartment, be sure to do a walk through with your apartment representative. Also be sure to bring paper to note any items that are damaged or missing in the apartment, and have the apartment representative sign the document noting any problems. Make sure both you and them have a copy. At move out time, they can't charge you if the damage was proven preexisting.

• Before you sign your lease, also request an exit interview for when you move out so that you and the apartment representative can have a walk through before you leave. Many apartments decline you the opportunity for an exit interview so that they can create bogus damage charges. If you are unable to secure an exit interview in writing, it may be a good idea to select a different apartment complex altogether.

• Always ask how old the carpet in your apartment is before you move in and have them provide proof through documentation. Generally, if the carpet is older than 3 to 5 years, you won't be held responsible if it sustains damage through your tenure. Be sure to ask what their protocol for carpet is. If the carpet was five years old when you move in, and they try to charge you for it when you move out, there's a problem.

• Believe it or not, many complexes will charge you if you don't replace any burned out light-bulbs before you leave. If it was working when you moved in, they expect it to be working when you move out.

• If you've hung any pictures during your residency, purchase a $5.00 bucket of "Patch & Paint" and a cheap putty tool from your local hardware supply store. Patching the holes in your apartment can do wonders for your deposit.

• Leave no personal items behind! Anything you leave will incur a garbage or cleaning charge and they tend to add up quick and are costly. Leaving a garbage can or small book case behind could cost you $50.00 or more per item!

• Cleaning is key. Vacuum your carpets, clean your bathroom and kitchens thoroughly, and make certain your floors all look presentable. Any cleaning beyond what the complex deems necessary could be charged back to you.

• Lastly, make sure to repaint or prime your apartment walls if you've painted them while you lived there. Many apartment complexes these days will allow you to paint the walls, but they will also be happy to take your entire deposit if you don't paint them back to their original color or at least prime them. Before signing your lease, check with your representative about their paint policy.

Even though the economy is forecast to improve, we can all still use all the money we can save. We hope these tips can help you out and help put that deposit back in your hand. From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Moving With Kids

Moving can be a challenge for your family, and the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers understand that comforting your kids is particularly important during this time. Here are a few tips that might make the transition a smoother one.:

1. Keep an open dialog: Speak with your kids about what moving will be like and what they should expect. Listen carefully and address their concerns. You might be surprised what children find bothersome. For example, where will the family dog sleep in the new place?

2. Be supportive: Kids are well-tuned to the stress of a family and moving often heightens these types of feelings. Remind them that things will settle back down following the move. Reassure them of the things that won't change: their toys, activities, etc.

3. Let your kids be part of the action: Get the children involved in the moving process, whether it's marking boxes or wrapping their toys in paper. Something to occupy their minds keeps them feeling a part of the transition.

Nothing will guarantee your child won't be upset by the move, but minimizing their anxiety over such a big change will go a long way.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Mover Myths

Over the years, Hollywood has given moving companies a bad reputation. As your Cincinnati movers, we've decided that this week's tip should stand to dispel such stereotypes.

Mover Myth #1: Professional Wrestlers will be your movers

• Contrary to popular belief, not all movers are 7 feet tall and have muscles the size of the moon. In fact, most movers are regular Joes, just like you or me. You may also find that the smaller guy scan out perform the herculean movers of the industry.

Mover Myth #2: Movers requesting tips

• Some times, television or the silver screen can depict movers holding their hands out for expected gratuity, or breaking a customer's furniture because they were not tipped. While tipping is customary in this industry, it is NEVER expected. Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers will never ask for or expect a tip. We simply want to do a good job for our customers, Period.

Mover Myth #3: Bad Attitude Movers

• Another Hollywood cliche is the attitude or appearance of movers. On the screen, they're depicted as mean men hiding behind thick mustaches. They even get upset if they're asked to move an item someplace specific or multiple times. Rest assured, we are a Cincinnati moving company. We understand that our job is to be your mover. We will place your items where you request, and will be happy to move them several times until you're happy with where they are rested. Additionally, our movers are always uniformed and come complete with a positive attitude.

We hope we've put your mind at ease with what you might see on TV. When you have your next moving experience, be sure to welcome it with a positive outlook. We always come to our customers with the same. From all of us at the Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers, we hope your move is a great one!

Moving Tip of the Week: Drawers

As movers in Cincinnati, one of the top ten questions we are asked is, "Do we need to empty out our drawers?". The answer to this question is YES. The added weight from the contents of your drawers not only makes it more difficult to move them, but in some instances can cause your furniture to break. While we will on occasion move dressers and other furniture with the drawers still in them, it can also be a good idea to remove the drawers completely. Some areas of your house, condo, apartment, rental truck or storage unit may require your furniture to be turned or moved on it's side or diagonally. In these instances, it is always necessary to remove the drawers so that components don't become jammed or break.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Elevators, Spiral Staircases, & Parking Spots.

The Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers have been serving the tri-state since 2005, and in that span of time, we've been to many interesting and unique places to move our customers. Museums, historic buildings, old factories, and sleep institutes are all places among our repertoire. Each building presents its own unique challenge, and we thought it would be a good idea to pass on what some of these challenges mean to you.

What many customers are unaware of is that elevators will actually slow down a job versus helping to speeding it up. If your move does require an elevator, it will be a good idea to try to reserve it for the time your moving services have been scheduled. More times than not, elevators are usually small and not much can be loaded inside of them. Additionally, most elevators have to be shared with other movers, or with the other residents of the building, which can lead to longer wait times and a larger bill to you.

Spiral staircases found in older Cincinnati homes, while absolutely beautiful, usually are tighter than modern spirals. Large and bulkier furniture items will often times not fit, and some staircases have banisters that cannot be removed to accommodate even the average sized item. This is especially true if the staircase is sharing an external wall. If you're moving into a house or apartment that has one of these staircases, you may want to measure the width, height, and depth against your larger furniture, and check to see if any banisters can be removed. It may also be a good notion to measure the size of the doors, as in our experience, older spiral staircases often times lead to older and smaller door frames. Massive amounts of time can be lost when moving pieces of furniture that won't fit. A few simple measurements can easily resolve that problem before the situation arises.

Parking spots can also create considerable challenges. Inner city moves frequently mean you have limited places available at your disposal to park. In these situations, you'll want to place orange cones on either end of your truck for street parking, and have someone available to watch the contents while your movers are loading or unloading. It is also a beneficial idea to contact the city or building manager to reserve that parking spot according to when you have scheduled your movers. When moving into a recently built home, newly poured driveways usually need to settle for a certain period of months to prevent damage. Large and heavy trucks can not be parked on them because of this, and are therefore diverted to the nearest curb. Please take this into consideration for your move as it means your movers will have a longer space to walk with your possessions, and it will likely increase your charged time. Apartment complexes are normally easier to find a parking spot, but it's still an excellent idea to reserve a spot ahead of time. The closer the truck or conatiner is to your home, the less expensive your move will be.

One last challenge that we've run into is a true rarity. Some apartment buildings or sub-divisions can sometimes have an entrance way covered by an arch leading into the community. Moving trucks are simply to big to drive through these types of entrances. This means a normal truck will need to be provided to act as a "shuttle", or you movers will have a very, very long distance to move your items. In these instances, you will need to budget for more time and more movers. As your Cincinnati moving company, Move Cheap will always be happy to walk you through these situations and help you decide which solutions best solve them.

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

Moving Tip of the Week: Furniture Accumulation

It's happened to the best of us. We live in an apartment or a condo for a few years, and when it's time to move to our new home, we have more stuff than we started out with. Since 2005, The Move Cheap Cincinnati Movers have been helping customers throughout the Cincinnati tri-state area move into their new homes. The #1 phrase we hear almost every time is, "I didn't know I had so much stuff." It's always a great idea to take this into consideration before you order your rental truck or moving services. The last time you moved, you may only have needed a 14 foot truck, and everything fit inside fine. The next time you move, you may need to consider a larger truck like a 17 or 24 foot. Families and lives change. Some people have children and acquire toys and child's furniture, while others may have started collecting knick knaks. Maybe you were married in the last year and received a good deal of wedding gifts or joined households. We often see folks order a truck that is too small or are required to make multiple trips because they had more furniture and boxes than they had the first time around.

Also remember that you can call us, your local Cincinnati moving company, to come to your home and give you a free estimate of how long your move should take and what size truck we recommend.

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

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!

Moving Tip of the Week: Nuts & Bolts

Most customers we work with in the Cincinnati Tri-State area are often well prepared when we arrive to move them. As Cincinnati movers, one organization area we've noticed that could use a suggestion is a "nuts and bolts" box. There are many pieces of furniture throughout a customer's house that need to be disassembled: Washers and dryers, dining tables, bed frames, computer desks, china cabinets, etc. Each of those items can contain several screws, nuts, washers, and bolts that are easy to lose and forget. We suggest putting those items in labeled zip-lock bags, with each bag containing the pieces to one particular piece of furniture. Then place the bags in one box labeled 'Nuts & Bolts'. This box should be the last thing placed on your truck or container, and the first thing off so that it is easily accessible. Not only will it be a breeze to locate the pieces to put your furniture together, but it will make for a smoother move all the way around.

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