Supervise Your Movers * Just like moving day, when your furniture is delivered, stick around to direct movers. Again time is money for the movers. Movers don't mind putting furniture in the right area of the house, but if you're not around to direct them they won't know where anything goes. Movers often may charge extra if they have to double or triple handle furniture items because you are not there to direct them. So please be present to supervise their efforts.
