Oil your furniture the night before the move.
Everybody wants nice looking furniture, right? One thing to remember is that oiled furniture wants to slide right through a mover's hand. This is empirical knowledge, earned when our guys tried to pick up a freshly oiled bureau. Somehow they managed to get some gription and carry it to the truck, but time was added. We love the work and will do just about whatever our customers need, but keep in mind that oil=time=money.
Best to give it a few days to dry before we show up, ok?
