Make a short item list
Name each larger piece and add approximate dimensions. Photograph the furniture so its shape and condition are easy to understand. Mention glass, loose parts, or delicate surfaces. Keep the list practical: a bed frame, a sofa, a dining table, an armchair. Add the pieces that are heavy enough to need two people and any item with a finish that marks easily. If something is already damaged, say so now. That keeps expectations clear for the day and helps the crew handle it with care.
Describe any assembly work
Explain whether the item comes apart and whether you want help with that work. Ask what can be included before removing components. If fittings are removed, keep them in a labeled bag associated with the correct piece. Tell the team which screws, bolts, or panels have been set aside. Flat-packed furniture takes up less space when disassembled, so deciding this in advance helps the load fit and the route stay clear. Let the crew know if the item was installed in place and needs to be uninstalled first.
Check the destination
Decide where the furniture should go and look at the route into that room. A piece that fits in the room may still face a difficult turn on the way there. Share photographs of the access at the destination, including doorways, staircases, and tight corners. Measure the widest point of the route and compare it with the furniture. Note whether the piece can be carried upright or needs to be angled, and whether anything stands in the way that can be moved before arrival.
Discuss preparation with the team
Send Get R Done Moving the item list, assembly notes, and destination photos with the rest of the request. Ask whether any piece needs a different approach, such as extra padding or an additional crew member. Confirm what the team will bring and what you should keep ready. Replacing parts or renting equipment takes time, so raise concerns before the move rather than on the day. With the details set, the crew can arrive with the right plan and protect both the furniture and the property.
