How to Prepare Your Furniture for a Dolly.com Move

Measure doorways and Hallways: This step helps prevent the frustration of realizing that your new couch won’t fit through the front door halfway into your move.

Disassemble Larger Items: Spend about 30-45 minutes disassembling larger pieces of furniture. This includes removing legs, cushions, and other detachable parts. Not only does this make the items easier to handle, but it also minimizes the risk of damage during transit.

Wrap and Protect Furniture: Allocate 15-20 minutes per item to properly wrap and protect your furniture. Use blankets or bubble wrap to guard against dings, scratches, and other potential damage. This is particularly important for delicate or valuable pieces.

Label Fragile Items: Clearly label any sensitive or delicate pieces to alert the movers. This simple task takes about 10 minutes but can make a significant difference in ensuring your fragile items are handled with extra care.

Create a Clear Path: Finally, take 20-30 minutes to create a clear path for the movers. Remove any obstacles from the moving route inside and outside your home. This not only makes the move smoother but also helps avoid any accidental trips or falls.

Completing these tasks helps ensure that your experience with Dolly.com is as seamless as possible. By preparing ahead, you make it easier for the polite and professional movers from Dolly to quickly and carefully handle your furniture, leaving you with peace of mind.
