#1 PREPARE TO PURGE

Find a place near to you that will accept donations of household goods. Make practical decisions, don’t pay to move what you do not use. If the items you wish to donate are difficult to move, give us a call to make arrangements for your movers to assist that effort.

#2-PREPARE TO PACK

Think ahead, where will you stage your packed boxes? (you may need to pull a couch out from the wall to stack boxes safely out of your living space.)

Make your staging area as near to the door as possible, time is money.

Use the items you already have in your home as packing fodder, some of these may include linens, plastic grocery store bags, or shredded paper. (Hint- for less mess on the unpack, put your shredded paper into a tied grocery bag to create a cushion for your items.)

As you gather your linens, consider putting a set of sheets for each bed in the drawer of its dresser, or a suitcase. This will be a time saver on move day, you will not have to search for the box with the sheets in it.

Save your back and your time by creating the space you need for packing. Folding tables are a great aid in this.

Gather all the supplies you need before you start.

Tape the bottom of each box before you begin to pack it.

Remember, SPACE BREAKS! each box should be filled. pay special attention to the corners of the box as you move it. the corners should not give.

For the safe transport of liquids, plastic, preferably see through totes work well. (Hint-placing each item into a plastic grocery bag and lining this tote with a towel can help reduce the damage caused by a leak if one should occur.)

If totes are not an option, label the box “liquids” and put arrows to indicate not to place this box on its side, or simply leave the box open so the movers can see what they are transporting.

Label not only the top of the box, but at least one side as well. Once they are stacked, the top will not be visible.

To properly pack your plates, they should be padded and placed in the box vertically.

Remove any items from dresser drawers or armoires that are not cloth.

When you’re sure your packing is complete, consider the oft forgotten spots in your home like the cabinet above your stove, or the back shelf in a closet.

Look up! not everything is at eye level. scan your walls ceiling to floor in every room.

Look down. Treasures such as door stops can be easily overlooked.

#3-PREPARE FOR YOUR MOVERS TO ARRIVE

Know what you do not want your movers to touch, and designate a spot for these items. (Hint-your vehicle or your bathtub is an excellent spot to use. a shelf in a closet or corner of a room are also good spots.)

Anything personal or irreplaceable should be kept with you.

Any medicines you need should be considered.

Before the movers arrive, to the best of your ability, clear your driveway and the road in front of your home, to allow the truck maximum maneuvering space. This will avoid wasted time at the start of your move.

Table tops should be cleared.

Beds should be stripped.

Everything that can be in a box should be, unless packing arrangements have been discussed.

If possible, enlist a person who does not reside with you, to walk the entire property to make sure no statues, planters, benches, wind chimes or other small treasures are left behind.

Following these few steps can make a big difference to your experience. If you have any other moving related questions, please feel free to ask!

WITH SETT MOVERS
YOU ARE FAMILY

A few of the kind words we’ve received from our extended family:

They helped move my grand daughter at a great price to a second floor apartment. They were amazing on a Saturday in the rain. Thank you!

Castro, Rob, Chris and the rest of the crew from SETT were awesome! From the help by Chris and Castro packing the day before to loading the truck and the crew loading the truck, it was all done with efficiency and care for our items. They were courteous and pleasant, answering any questions we had. They called when they said they would and kept us informed of the time they would arrive. The day the truck came to unload, Castro and Rob worked tirelessly to unload the truck and place each box in its designated area. They even moved some boxes to another wall so we would have an easier pathway and moved our furniture back to its original place. We have already recommended SETT Movers to our friends who are planning on moving in the near future. Thank you for a wonderful experiance, you took the stress out of our move!

I had Sett Movers move my mother. They were very professional and friendly. The guys arrived when they said they would. They were extremely protective of the furniture and were very patient when it came to my mother, wanting to have the furniture placed in a certain area of the house. I would use them again. As far as I’m concerned they are the only moving company in the state.Brett D.

Working with SETT Movers was an absolutely amazing experience. From the very first callto the end of the moving experience I couldn’t be more pleased. Evelyn was very helpful, and Tara was extremely accommodating. She was very prompt in returning my call. Tara was able to arrange for her movers to come to the job within a few days. When the movers arrived, they were courteous, prompt and quick! All of the movers, Chris, AJ and Nick did an excellent job of moving my possessions to my new home. They were all professional and were very attentive to my questions. I have honestly never dealt with such professional and quick movers as I did from SETT Movers. Chris, AJ and Nick made the moving experience which is usually frustrating and stressful a very pleasant and easy experience. I would highly recommend SETT Movers for your moving needs.

My daughter had recently moved from New Jersey to Connecticut. We had the pleasure of using, SETT MOVERS, I just can't say enough about this amazing company!We received a called in the morning notifying us on their arrival time, they even arrived a few minutes early, which worked out great!

We have all seen the reviews of the nightmare of hiring a moving company. Sett Movers is nothing like them. All the people I had contact with were nothing but professional every step of the process. The estimate matched my final price. Moving can be a trying time, but Sett Movers did everything to reduce the stress of my move. So relax and call Sett Movers.

I never post reviews but this was a MUST. Moved from NJ to Florida with my wife. Hired Sett Moversfor the job & after getting a few estimates & meeting every estimator, i can honestly say it was the BEST decision. From start to finish. They even transported one of my vehicles along with all personal belongings in one big truck. They were prompt the day they packed up & very quick. They also arrived as promised in florida 3 days later. Every employee was very professional. Castro & Rob were awesome. They went above & beyond. If ur moving please call them. You wont be disappointed. Awesome company.Thanks for making our out of state move go so smooth. Much appreciated.

I had a fantastic experience with Sett Movers. From start to finish, Tara and her team were absolutely great. They handled every aspect of the move with exceptional professionalism and care. Rob and Castro, the movers assigned to my job, were particularly impressive. They were not only incredibly efficient but also remarkably kind and professional throughout the entire process. They took great care with all of my belongings, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. Tara's communication and organizational skills made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Sett Movers for their outstanding service and dedication.

I contacted Tara Knight to inquire about moving from Old Bridge NJ to Monroe NJ. She just made the whole process go without any problems. On July 30th Glen, Castro, Fitz, Rob and Paul arrived on the scheduled time. These guys worked very hard and they were very professional. They packed everything so secure that nothing would be scratched or damaged in anyway . On August 1st Rob, Castro, Paul, Trey, and Jack arrived as scheduled to move me into my new home. Once again these guys were very professional and move everything into the new home without any damage to anything. The one gentlemen Jack was such a character I found out that we grew up together in the same county. He made me laugh so much . Just what a good group of hard working guys. I would strongly recommend this moving company .

We moved last week and we used Sett Movers. What an amazing company. We had a great experience from start to finish. Communication was perfect from our first contact with Tara, to dealing with our estimator Tyler, to having Chris, Trey, Austin and AJ handle our actual move. Our move went so smoothly because of this well organized company. We highly recommend using them.

I have used Sett Moving Compsny 3 times in the past five years. Tara is responsive in scheduling and accommodating my moving needs and each experience was a different type of move. Each time, I was satisfied. Today’s crew of two men were punctual, polite and skilled in moving my possessions with care. Chris was my crew chief and Nick M. Was his assistant. They did everything I asked for and more…truly a pleasure to work with these men. Lastly, there are no hidden costs. Sett movers is an honest and professional moving company. Therefore, I recommend them wholeheartedly . I will utilize their services again and again. You will not be disappointed!

We were moving from NJ to FL and finding the right company was important to me. I have read so many horror stories regarding brokers and other moving companies. I wanted to make sure we made the right decision. After reading reviews on multiple companies and receiving all different quotes, I realized that SETT Movers was right for us!First reason they are FAMILY owned! Tara was very helpfully and patient with me. First time using a moving company so I wanted to make sure I did my part to ensure no over charges. Thank you Tara for guiding me with advise on how to pack certain items.Second Tyler came to my place and gave a quote in PERSON!!! (no second guessing if they quoted the correct price) He was very friendly and I had a sense of confidence knowing they knew what they were doing!Third the moving crew was AMAZING! They were nice, fast, careful, hard working, easy to communicate with it & most importantly ON TIME!Glenn, Castro, Paul, and John not only were great, but they all had wonderful words to say about the company they worked for! When you have happy employees you know the company is doing something right!Glenn, called me every step of the way and was extremely efficient! Castro, Paul, and James were all very friendly, professional, and trustworthy! You can tell they all enjoyed what they did and who they did it with!SETT Movers is for sure they way to go!!!

I had a 10x25 storage unit loaded to the top with furniture, appliances and boxes that had to be moved to my new hone. I called SETT Movers and they were fantastic from setting up the move to completing it. They showed up at the storage unit right on time and loaded everything in record time. Chris, Nick, John and Mike made the move look effortless. They moved everything very quickly and carefully respecting the furniture and the house.I can't say enough good things about them and will be sure to recommend them to anyone looking for movers.

Sett Movers had been recommended for my move from Central New Jersey to Nashua New Hampshire. When you move to a different state you want to make sure that all of your items are transported successfully, and with no issues.My contracting with Sett Movers was one of the best decisions made with the move. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the crew members, and the care taken to ensure that each item was moved without incident. All of the furniture and collectable antiques were packed securely with padding and shrink wrap. All furniture items and packed boxes were moved with no issues and all items are in good working order.I would like to thank Sett Movers and their Team for support with my move. Thanks to the NJ Loading Crew members: Glenn, Castro, Trey, Paul, Austin, New-Nick, Jack and Rob. A special thanks for the New Hampshire unloading support and moving items to: Glenn, Castro, and Trey. Your support with this main move is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Phil

I used Sett Movers to pack a pod unit and then unload the unit at my new house. We did not want to carry the big and heavy stuff. First time Paul, Rob,Barry and Castro did a great job wrapping and packing the unit. Everything tight and did not waste any space. Yesterday Glenn, Barry and Paul " busted their baloney" as my wife would say carrying the stuff up 15 stairs in the rain. All the guys were super workers and concerned not to damage anything.

Had a great experience with Sett Movers from Florida to South Carolina. They make the move as easy as can be and make a stressful job look easy. This was the fifth time we used Sett to move us from New Jersey to Florida twice and with in Jersey twice and from Florida to South Carolina. We would never use anyone else and have recommended them to friends and family who have used them and everyone was happy with the service they got. Thanks to Tara and her team. A local family business is always the way to go! Moving in state or out of state, give them a call, you will have an easy move. Carol Newman

I cannot say enough good things about SETT movers and their crew. We had the please of having Steve, Jack, Mike and Austin help us with our move and they were awesome! Of course we had the worst day ever to move with the weather just completely pouring the whole time, but there was never any complaints or anything by the crew. They made my wife and I feel extremely comfortable and the whole team were super helpful and efficient. Not to mention they were moving us out of a third floor walk-up apartment and it did not have any elevators. This did not stop them, they worked amazing together and they were extremely knowledgeable and careful with all of our belongings.I would recommend anyone to use SETT Movers if they are looks for a reputable, friendly and efficient moving company!Thank you again!
