During an office move employees typically won’t have to worry about packing anything up before the movers arrive except for their desk. There’s a real art to packing up different items and keeping everything organized so you can get back to business quickly. Keep reading to get tips on moving everything out of your desk and into a moving box.

Desk Moving Tip #1 – Figure Out if Things are Staying in Drawers

It could be easiest to simply leave most items in your desk drawers then either tape or lock them up so the drawers don’t open. You may need to discuss this with the office movers to determine whether it’s best to pack it all up or keep things where they are. Even if you decide to leave things in drawers take out anything that’s fragile, and pack it up separately to avoid breaks.

Hiring a professional mover well ahead of time is important, but when is the best time to book? This answer will vary based on a number of factors including what needs to be moved, when it needs to be moved and who is doing the moving.

Seasonal Affects on Scheduling

Like many other industries, the moving business experiences high and low periods. The busiest season by far is summer when more people are buying new homes. If you plan to move on a weekend in the summer then you need to book at least 3-4 weeks in advance. For moves during the week in the summer 2-3 weeks in advance should be fine.

It doesn’t always happen, but every now and then a piece of furniture or appliance is just too big to get out the front door. It’s an issue that Tower Moving Toronto know how to handle, but if you’re doing it on your own this can be a problem that holds up the entire day. Use the pro strategies below to get bulky items out and into the moving truck.

Reposition the Furniture or Appliance

Sometimes all it takes is repositioning the furniture so that you can come at it from another angle. You might need to flip it vertically or on its side to make it work. Having three people help, two to move and one to guide, is usually the best way to get the job done.
