| In advance of the Richmond movers arrival, be sure to clear walkways. Make it safe and easy for your movers to get in and out of your house by removing all obstructions. |
 |
| Reserve a Parking Space for the Richmond movers truck. If you live in a congested area, recruit some friends and park all of your vehicles one after another in a space close to your home and do not move them until the truck arrives. The closer the truck can get to your house, the better your chances are of not incurring an additional charge. |
 |
| It is important to point out special items to your Richmond mover. Set these items aside the day before the move. Then, once the mover arrives, point out items that are most special to you during the walkthrough. All your items will be handled professionally but take a moment to show them which ones need the most special care. Also, point out the boxes you would like to have unloaded first, if they are not going into storage. These boxes may include kitchen and bathroom items, or your children's toys. |
 |
| Before your Richmond mover arrives, get rid of trash and flammable items
Eliminate as much trash as you can before moving day. Last-minute garbage will inevitably build up the day prior to and the day of loading. Try making a deal with a neighbor to use their trash container for your last-minute debris.

| Take care of your Richmond mover. Consider the needs of your driver and crew members! It is not necessary to prepare an elaborate meal, as this is the last thing you will have time for. Still, run out and get some breakfast rolls or cookies and order pizza for lunch. It is a nice gesture and will be warmly received. |
 |
| If you have children, pack special items for the kids. Have the kids pack a box of their "special" items, things that they'll want to have nearby as soon as you all arrive at your new home. Point this box out to the Richmond mover so it's one of the first boxes to be unloaded. |
 |
| Decide on Tipping your Richmond movers. Should you? It is completely up to you. Many individuals do tip the driver and let him disperse the portion to the crew that they think is appropriate. You decide! |
