What Do Packers and Movers Do?
As their titles suggest, packers pack your items up in boxes, and movers move those items from your old home to your new home. While some people are skeptical about trusting strangers to handle their precious possessions, hiring professional movers and packers is a great way to make your move to or from the Indianapolis area as stress-free as possible. Experienced packers and movers can expedite the entire moving process, so you can spend less time moving, and more time settling into your new place.
What packers do
Packers usually arrive a day or two before your move. They come equipped with boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper, and pack your items—such as clothes, books, dishes, and linens—securely into boxes, and get them ready to be loaded onto the moving truck.
For larger items such as furniture, packers will wrap them in moving blankets to prevent scuffs and scratches, and then secure them with commercial-grade plastic wrap to keep drawers and other moving parts in place.
What movers do
On moving day, the movers arrive. Sometimes they’re even the same people who packed you up. The movers load the truck up with your boxes, furniture, and other items, and transport them carefully to your new home.
Then the packers come back in and unload all your items, so you can sit back and watch your new home start to take shape around you.
What DON’T packers and movers do?
Don’t expect packers to sort through your closets and shelves and decide what to keep and what to throw away or donate. It’s best to take the time to sort through your items beforehand, that way you know you will only be bringing what you really need.
