Being Prepared

At Moving Made Smooth, Inc. we like to get our customers as prepared as possible for their upcoming move by providing any information they may need up front.  The checklists below are meant to facilitate this and will help you, our customer, to avoid potentially costly delays during the moving process.  

Load Only

  • Rent a moving vehicle.  We recommend getting one size bigger than you think you will need to be sure everything will fit in a single load.
  • Have all your items boxed or otherwise packaged before the arrival of your crew or request packing services in advance (see Packing).  
  • Check out our Omaha Moving Blog for advice on packing.  
  • Obtain moving blankets (also called furniture pads) before your service date.  They can easily be obtained when renting your moving vehicle or by purchasing them from a store.  
  • During winter months, please have your walkways cleared of snow before the arrival of your crew.
