Call for an estimate, and show our Moving Consultant the things that need to be packed
and moved.
Discuss if other services are required: packing, storage, un-packing, etc.
Keep all documents and information connected with your move. This information should not be packed away. It will be extremely helpful on moving day.
Gather information from doctors, business associates, clubs, dentists and lawyers in your
new location.

Ask the phone company at your destination if service can be connected before arrival.
Ask your bank to transfer your accounts to the branch nearest your new home.

Transfer fire, theft and other insurance to your new location.
2 Weeks Before Moving Day
Have rugs and drapery cleaned. Leave rugs rolled and wrapped.
Prepare a floor plan of new home and make extra copies. This will be useful on “move-in” day.
Plan a moving-away party for children and their friends.
Make sure most of your packing is complete.
Prepare meals between now and moving day. Donate excess canned and frozen foods to the community food bank.
Separate any food, plates, utensils you will need during the last days. Be sure to pack them on moving day.
Make sure all laundry is clean and remember to pick up any dry cleaning.
Organize all of your moving and travel documents as well as valuables you will be taking with you the day of the move.

Moving Day
Take down all curtains, blinds, shelving units, etc.. Unfasten any fixed carpets that are to
be moved.
Set aside and label items such as luggage that you do not want to be moved.
Pack your car for the move. (Pack items you intend to move yourself).
On Moving Day
Be on hand when the moving crew arrives, or authorize someone in writing to take your place.
All questions should be directed to the driver of the moving crew.
Sign the form at the beginning of the move. This will instruct the crew to begin the move.
Keep all children and pets away from the moving truck. Keep children on a normal routine as much as possible. Set aside a few toys or set up a movie in a quiet room.
Before the crew leaves, take one last walk through to make sure everything has been loaded.
Arriving at Your New Home
If some goods are to be stored, advise the storage facility of the items that need to be stored or removed from your unit.
Confirm that utilities will be connected on time.
Pick up a set of keys (and make copies for you and other people in your home).

The guys from Bradford Movers were prompt, pleasant, respectful and courteous. We were amazed at how quickly they were able to complete the packing and loading of my mom's 1200 sq ft condo on a fifth floor... 90 minutes from arrival to departure. Very reasonably priced.

Our second time using Bradford Movers, I have also referred them to friends, they are the best.They take pride in their work, explain things as they go along. We didn’t even price shop, they are that good. If you want it done right, this the company you want handling your move.

We used Bradford Moving and Storage recently for an inter-city move (2 hours distance) of a five-bedroom house' worth of furniture. Two trucks and a pup trailer needed due to the driveway, in a rural area. We could not have been happier with the five men that moved us. Absolutely the best. They cost a bit more than the big movers, but I was happy to pay the extra in this case. This is an independent family business. The moving team was very fast and careful. Nothing broken or missing so far. We challenged them by moving out on a weekend and moving in a couple of days later. No problem! And they did it just before the virus shut down. We can highly recommend Bradford Moving.
