Discover insider tips from 10,000+ local moves in Philadelphia. What ProMovers has learned to make your next move easier, faster, and stress-free.
The Most Common Mistakes We See
Underestimating Time:
Most clients think they’ll be done in a few hours. Spoiler alert: they won’t. Packing takes longer, elevators get busy, and traffic in Philly? Always a wild card.
Not Labeling Boxes Clearly:
Label your boxes by room and include what's inside. It saves so much time and avoids the "where's the coffee maker?" panic.
Hiring Help Too Late:
Good movers get booked. Calling last minute might leave you with few options or higher rates.
What Makes a Move Go Smoothly?
Start early — and pack smarter, not harder.
Wrap fragile items properly (yes, even that random mug you love).
Let professionals handle bulky furniture — we know the angles, literally.
Reserve elevators if you're in a building.
Communicate clearly — tell us if there are stairs, narrow hallways, or anything tricky.
