When gearing up for a move of any kind, it’s easy to get sucked up into the chaos and confusion of trying to organize your things and coordinate with your movers. However, when tackling a relocation of any kind, you should always have a strategy and plan of attack in place so you can enjoy a stress-free and smooth moving day.
Moving can be pretty time-consuming and complicated, but having the right preparation means that you can approach it with an informed eye and the ability to work through things in a way that allows you to move with ease.
The best way to tackle a move in an informed and organized way is to not only have the right plan but to have the right movers on your side. Hollander Storage & Moving Co. will be there for you every step of the way in your moving process and will give you the best services and the best prices. We know that no matter if you’re an experienced mover or a first-timer, having the right moving company on your side makes all the difference. We’ll give you the best move possible!
When moving day rolls around, having a plan in place will let you get your things out of your old home and into your new one efficiently and quickly – and without stress! Follow this checklist to make your moving day run smoothly.
You might assume that it would be a given to be there during your move and when your moving crew comes, but you might be surprised to find that a lot of moving crews show up to find owners absent, and having to move with no direction or oversight from their clients.
Even if you can’t be there, make sure there’s a responsible adult around to answer any questions that your movers might have, sign paperwork or documentation, and help direct the packing or loading process for your moving crew.
For the safety of you, your movers, and your household items, you’ll want to make sure that there’s a clear walkway through your home and yard for your movers to walk through with boxes or heavy furniture. This is not only a convenient thing but is also a safety precaution for you and your movers.
When your professional movers arrive, make sure to do a walkthrough of your home to point out any fragile or important items, plus any things that you’ll be keeping with you during the moving process that won’t need to be loaded up onto the truck.
Once everything has been loaded up, make sure to also do a final walkthrough with your movers to make sure everything that should be loaded onto your truck has been, done and that nothing has been left behind. Make sure to check cabinets, drawers, and anything where items could be left unnoticed.
On moving day, one of the most important things you can do if you have children or pets is to keep them safe, entertained, and out of the way. Either try to arrange for them to be at your family or friends’ houses while your move is happening, or try to have them in a separate room where they can stay relaxed. This is also a safety concern, as having children or pets running around while moving furniture in and out can be dangerous for all involved.
Once your items are loaded up and good to go, exchange contact information with your delivery driver to make sure that you’re kept up to date with the status of your move and when your items will be delivered to you. This will be convenient for your driver and will give you peace of mind.
Now that you know what to do to keep your moving day smooth and straightforward, make sure to have Hollander Storage & Moving Co. on your side to give you the best moving services for the best prices. See what we can do for you today!

Great experience with Hollander’s crew: Dominic R, Alex P, and Chris C. They were contracted (military move) to deliver some of our things that had been packed up and stored for a year, in a different location. They were professional and worked without complaints in the heat, placing our items carefully where I requested. They maneuvered a large, deep freezer down a tight staircase easily. They were thorough in helping me check to make sure all our things were accounted for, since it had changed locations/companies a few times before making it here. They were so helpful and courteous – I am very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend them!

The driver was the head of the crew, and he was on top of everything. He made the experience working with Hollander Moving a pleasure. We have used others before but it was our first time using Hollander. Everything turned out great.

Every employee I worked with was courteous, professional, and exceedingly competent. I was nervous about the packing and long distance move (from Illinois to New Mexico, October 2009) and Hollander helped make the move as smooth as possible. Not a thing was damaged or broken
-Kay S..
I would recommend Hollander to any company thinking about switching vendors, and any family making a move. A Hollander rep even stopped by my new place when they were unloading just to check on things.
Wonderful service – first class!
-Julia C..
Everything Hollander has done was over the top. It was courteous people, polite, caring. Their friendliness was over the top. There was one member of the crew who’d been a friend for 30 years, and the rest was family. I couldn’t say enough about them.
-Jerry M..
I recently moved from Chicago to Tampa and expected a few road bumps along the way but was pleasantly surprised when everything from loading to delivery was flawless. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional and knowledgable. I highly recommend Hollander Moving and Storage as they are a class act.
-Sandy C..
This move envolved packing and delivery to four different destinations. Attention to detail and coordination were vital and effectively executed by Tony R driver and his crew. Ardene did a great job coordinating everything. The entire group were both extremely pleasant and efficient.
