This is a tough dilemma and not an easy one to recommend, even for us. We hear many times that one shouldn’t always empty the drawers while relocating the furniture as it’s unnecessary work, while others strictly point out the importance of emptying out the drawers. Today, we will discuss the latter and why it is a good idea. Should you empty the drawers while relocating? Moving experts say yes. Here are some valid reasons why it’s a good idea to do so.
You Can Damage Your Drawers
Whether you are relocating locally or moving cross-state, if you keep drawers full of heavy items, they will be a harder task to carry for the movers. Imagine if your dresser is old and already fragile – it won’t be a surprise if the wood starts breaking or the sliding mechanism of the drawers gets damaged while moving around.
It Can Hurt Your Manpower
It doesn’t matter if your friends and family are going to help you or a group of skilled professionals. Everybody needs to stay safe, and with full drawers, someone can get unnecessarily hurt. Carrying around ultra-heavy belongings is a big deal for everyone, and the movers are not excluded.
You Can Damage Your Items – Or Lose Them
“But it would be the safest if the items stay in their drawers.” Think again. The relocation team is probably going to flip and turn that piece of furniture while fitting it through the door and you can probably say goodbye to any piece of glass or porcelain. Also, if you kept some jewelry in the drawer, bear in mind that it can easily get lost.
The Movers Can See Your Items
Accidentally and not willingly, your movers might invade your privacy by taking a look at your drawers filled with private things you might not want others to see. If you want to keep your private belongings private indeed, empty your drawers and pack like a pro.
