Planning a move from Woodside or elsewhere in Queens? Here’s what to check before requesting local moving help.

Key Takeaways

  • Write down both addresses and your preferred dates.
  • Pickup and delivery addresses
  • Stairs, elevators, and loading access
  • Preferred move date and inventory

What should I share with a mover?

Pickup and delivery addresses; Stairs, elevators, and loading access; Preferred move date and inventory. Let the mover know if any of these details change.
