Moving house is a hassle. In our busy lives getting the right professional mover to help you in the shift is a key decision. All too many times you may have heard the horror stories of how a professional mover has wrecked the family belongings,
been rude and uncooperative during the moving or haggled over the final price. You might want to consider hiring a transport and moving your own belongings. The reasons why you should not take the responsibility of the moving are:
1. Without experience, you may hire a van too small or too big for the job. Too small and you would have to make multiple trips to and fro to transfer your stuff. A transport that is too large is not easy to park and will probably be expensive to hire. Loading and securing your packed boxes, furniture and belongings would be difficult.
2. The moving is very stressful
3. It is a time-consuming task usually done better by professionals.
If you have heavy furniture, fragile articles and maybe a piano to shift, then you should always hire a professional to help you move. Some of the services a professional mover provides might include:
1. Providing all packing supplies for sale
2. Packaging and crating of all fragile items
3. Blanket wrapping of all furniture
4. Speciality services – eg. Pianos and other personal items
5. Storage
6. Efficient and timely service without the stress
As a home owner you have certain responsibilities to make the moving process smooth and free from glitches. Inform your moving company well in advance about the exact date and time of moving. Provide a list of all the items that are to be shifted, (keep a copy for yourself), so that the company can send a transport of the right size and plan the number of trips, if the move is local. Ensure that your professional mover has a proper address with directions to your new property. Make prior arrangements for parking the removal van near your new property. If you have large pieces of furniture that cannot be moved out of the door, the moving company should be informed in advance. The movers should also be given proper directions as to where the new furniture should go in the new house or the home owner should personally supervise the arrangement of the furniture.
