Practical moving guidance
Prepare your Orange County moving day with a complete inventory, confirmed access at both homes and your essentials kept with you. Use this checklist to plan the handovers and review the details with the Placentia team.
The details make the difference
Walk through each room with your inventory. Include the garage, patio, closets and any separate storage space. Mark furniture or boxes that will stay behind, and tell Tray about changes since the estimate. A room count alone does not describe a large sofa, a packed garage or fragile pieces that need individual preparation.
Keep medication, identification, keys, chargers and the documents you need during the move in a bag that travels with you. Add a change of clothes and basic first-night supplies. Set that bag aside from the moving inventory so it is easy to identify.
The details make the difference
Check both addresses before choosing a loading plan. Share the floor, outside steps, elevator arrangements and the distance from the permitted loading spot to the entrance. Ask the property manager about reservations, loading windows or required documents; do not assume the destination uses the same rules as your current building.
Clear hallways and doorways, and arrange a safe place for children and pets. If someone else holds the keys or controls the loading entrance, confirm who will meet the crew and when. Tell Tray about access uncertainties before moving day.
Before moving day
Share an accurate inventory, both addresses, access details and your preferred dates. Tray can discuss the crew, equipment and packing your move calls for.
Start planningThe details make the difference
Show the crew the full inventory, the items staying behind and any fragile or oversized pieces already discussed. Explain which rooms need packing help and which boxes are ready. Review the agreed scope and any new access information before loading begins.
Tray describes a process using dedicated private Trays and protective seals applied with you present, followed by loading and delivery. Ask how that process applies to your belongings and the services in your own moving plan. Confirm who will be available to review pickup and delivery.
Plan a local home or apartment moveBefore moving day
Share an accurate inventory, both addresses, access details and your preferred dates. Tray can discuss the crew, equipment and packing your move calls for.
Start planningThe details make the difference
Give the crew a simple room plan so labels translate into useful placement. Keep the entrance and carrying route clear while unloading. Discuss any unpacking work included in your plan and identify the essentials you want available first.
Before leaving the old home, check cupboards, drawers, closets, outdoor areas and storage spaces. At the destination, walk through the delivery together and raise any questions through the contact process in your moving agreement. Keep the estimate, inventory and relevant documents accessible.

Start planningYour local preparation details
Keep the pickup and receiving contacts with your full addresses and key arrangements. A move from a Placentia home to an Irvine apartment still needs a separate access check at each end. Ask each property contact about its own loading entrance, elevator availability and instructions, then share the confirmed details with Tray’s Placentia team.
Use the Orange County moving areas guide to find your community page and prepare the right questions for your addresses. If you are going beyond the county or continuing out of state, keep the full destination and delivery contact in the same moving plan. Tell Tray promptly when a key handover, room inventory or access detail changes.
