Moving Tips and Tricks for the Big Day

McDermott Moving Company has provided some tips to help you have a stress-free move. We can also help pack anything from everyday items to antiques that have been passed down through your family's generations. Check out some of these helpful tips! And if you have any questions, call 816-254-2443.

 

We encourage our customers to be as prepared as possible before moving day to help make their move go efficiently saving them both time and money. 

Get Ready for Your Move 

  • • Be prepared. Try to have all your packing done the day before you move. Not only will this help the efficiency of your move, but it will also reduce stress.

  • • Try to have all your boxes sealed and labeled. This will help speed up the loading and unloading process. Boxes will be stacked, so tops and bottoms should be flat.

  • • Please provide a phone number at which we can call you. We must be able to reach you should we need additional information, such as clarifying directions.

  • • Make yourself a personal box or bag that you will personally transport. It is very important that you can quickly access medications, insurance papers, real estate contracts, checkbooks, phone chargers, tv remotes, cable boxes, wi-fi equipment, jewelry, and any other items you may need.


  • • Please secure and plan to move your own firearms; we do not transport these items.

  • • Put your pets in a safe and comfortable place during your move. Moving is not only stressful for you but for them as well. There is nothing worse than trying to find a lost pet on moving day. We've found a few lost cats while unloading trucks.

  • • Be open to suggestions from your crew on what can be done to make your move run efficiently. These guys really do know what they are doing and are a great resource for everything from furniture placement to storage space issues.
