How to Prep Your Apartment for Movers in 30 Minutes or Less
Movers are on their way, and your place isn’t quite ready? Don’t panic. With just 30 minutes, you can do a lot to make your move go faster—and save yourself time and stress. Here’s a step-by-step plan from the D3 Delivery team.
1. Clear the Walkways
Make sure there’s a clear path from every room to the door. Remove rugs, shoes, or clutter from hallways and stairs.
2. Label Your Boxes
Even just “Kitchen,” “Bedroom,” or “Fragile” written in big letters can help. Group boxes by room to make loading easier.
3. Unplug and Wrap Electronics
Unplug TVs, monitors, or speakers. Wrap cords and place them in ziplock bags taped to the device.
4. Set Aside Essentials
Designate a bag or box with chargers, snacks, medication, toilet paper, and your wallet or keys. Keep it with you—not on the truck.
5. Secure Pets and Kids
If you’ve got little ones or pets, make arrangements to keep them safe and out of the way during the move. Bonus tip: If you booked with D3 Delivery, don’t worry about being perfect—we’ll help get things loaded, labeled, and moved like pros.
