Be considerate
When you are asking friends for help, you have to be considerate. This means that you have to be understanding if they cannot help you, even if you think they are faking it. Also, you shouldn’t boss them around. They are your friends and not your slaves. After all, it is you who is moving and they are not obliged to help you.
Don’t rush them

When you’re asking friends for help when moving it is important not to rush them. After all, it is your responsibility to have everything prepared for moving.
Moving and packing should be done in advance. It is not ok to ask your friends for help on the same day you are moving. You have to notify them when you are moving if you want their help. If you’re calling them on a day you are moving, there is a high chance that they won’t be able to help you. Also, you should complete some tasks before you call them. So, notify them and have your stuff ready for the relocation before they arrive.
Good luck!
