What\u2019s worse is most people don\u2019t want to waste their whole weekend off trying to help someone else move.

Tell Them You Recognize the Huge Favor&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you need help moving, you need to acknowledge to the person you realize how enormous this favor is to help you. Moving is never a simple or quick process, but if you plan it well, it doesn\u2019t have to be a miserable experience either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By recognizing your appreciation early, they\u2019ll understand what this favor means to you. You also should ask for help in person or over the phone. You never want to be that person that asks over social media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-2\">2. Be Prepared for Someone to Tell You No&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People are going to tell you no. People will be busy, have plans already, or make an excuse to not help you. You shouldn\u2019t be offended that they didn\u2019t say yes. You should just move on to the next person who might help you.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-3\">3. Keep Their Schedule in Mind&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should never ask someone to help you move the night before you need help moving. You also should keep in mind the other person\u2019s schedule, and you should work around their schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you give people plenty of advance notice to help you, the odds of someone saying yes will increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need help packing, consider having packing sessions with multiple people. Maybe everyone can\u2019t help you all day Saturday. Maybe some people can help you for an hour on Monday, three hours on Thursday, or eight hours on Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most people are probably free on the weekends, you shouldn\u2019t assume the weekends are the best time for everyone to help you. Some people might rather help you during the week, so they can have the weekends to themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-4\">4. Give Them and Yourself Flexibility to Help&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergencies do happen, so please make sure you give yourself and the people helping you some flexibility. If someone has a family, maybe their child got sick and have to take care of their child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something to think about when asking people to help you move. When you try to figure out how to ask someone to help you move, you should know which friends have multiple responsibilities at home vs. other friends who have less responsibilities at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean people with more responsibilities at home won\u2019t help you, but you\u2019ll want to keep that in mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-5\">5. Set Moving Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>You should always be clear and honest with your moving expectations. You definitely shouldn\u2019t lie either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan on having them help you move heavy furniture, make sure they\u2019re aware of the situation. If you want them to help you pack, you should make it clear they are there to help you pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes being tricked about what will happen during moving day. Some of your friends might be better at packing than lifting heavy furniture. While some of your friends would rather lift heavy furniture vs. helping you pack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Help-someone-move-2.jpg\" alt=\"Three women throw packing supplies at one another as they have fun helping their friend pack.\" class=\"wp-image-3795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Help-someone-move-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Help-someone-move-2-980x549.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Help-someone-move-2-480x269.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-6\">6. Don\u2019t be a Move-Zilla&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should never be mean or rude to your friends, family, or anyone else who lends them their time to help you move. Yes, you should be in charge of moving day. That doesn\u2019t mean you need to be a jerk either.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re going to be a team leader, not an evil ruler.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019ll help keep everyone\u2019s emotions in check after a long day. People can get frustrated quickly during a move if you\u2019re being bossy or ungrateful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-7\">7. Create and Set a Plan&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should create and set a plan with everyone who is helping you move. You shouldn\u2019t leave out any details about what will happen. Your friends should know what time to show up, where to show up, and how long they\u2019ll help you move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could offer to pay for their gas, but if they decline, that\u2019s OK. They&#8217;ll appreciate that you asked them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also should make sure you have a plan in place on how to provide refreshments for your friends, family, and others helping you move. You can provide water, Gatorade, and snacks such as fruit, mixed nuts, or grab-and-go snacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-8\">8. Be Organized and Prepared&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of creating and setting a plan, you should be organized and prepared on moving day. Your friends will be upset if they show up to help you load and unload your belongings only to find out you\u2019re not done packing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your friends are only going to help you load and unload, make sure you\u2019re ready for them to load and unload your items ahead of time. If you run behind and need help packing, try to get it done ahead of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worst-case scenario, let your friends know ahead of time that they\u2019ll help you finish packing a few items before they begin helping you load and unload your belongings. Your friends might not be happy that you\u2019re not ready to go, but they\u2019ll at least not be surprised to show up at your place to start helping you pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication goes a long way in any situation. Moving is no different, and the least stressful moves have the best lines of communication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-9\">9. Show Your Appreciation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019re done moving, show your appreciation. Yes, you need to tell your friends, family, and whoever else help you move by saying thank you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People like hearing thank you after helping a friend with a task, especially one like moving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t just stop there though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should treat your friends to pizza and beer, drinks later in the week, or host a housewarming party with them after you\u2019re settled into your new place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also could get them a gift card to their favorite restaurant, coffee shop, or bookstore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your budget tight on money? You can create homemade thank you cards to give to everyone who helped you move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true what they say, \u201cActions speak louder than words.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After you say, \u201cThank you\u201d to everyone who helped you move, make sure your actions afterward also express your gratitude and appreciation for their help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-10\">10. Hire the Experts When It\u2019s Needed&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you just need to hire experts to help you move. It could be a safety reason, or maybe you and your friends don\u2019t have the expertise to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/services-offered\/piano-moving\/\">move a piano<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/services-offered\/gun-safe-moving\/\">move a gun <\/a>safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you need a lending hand to help you pack. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/\">Moving Help\u00ae<\/a> is here to help you with whatever part of your move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-to-ask-someone-to-help-you-move-11\">11. Return the Favor&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People move all the time. The average person will move 11.7 times in their lifetime, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/topics\/population\/migration\/guidance\/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=This%20page%20contains%20NCHS%20Life,one%20move%20per%20single%20year.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. Census Bureau<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your friends are in a similar situation to you when they\u2019re moving, make sure you accept their offer to help them move. They took the time to help you move, and you should take the time to help them move.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friendships work both ways in returning favors, and this is no different.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Friends Can Help You Move&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While not all your friends, family, and others will help you move, some might help you move. With these 11 tips on how to ask someone to help you move, you should be prepared on the etiquette on what to expect when someone lends you their time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If for some reason no one is available to help you move, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movinghelp.com\/move\/services-offered\/packing-unpacking\/\">Moving Help<\/a> is here to assist you.
