Long Distance Mover Means Stress-free Moving

One of the first calls you get from your long distance mover is just a getting-to-know-you, introductory call. The movers will want you to know the basics of the situation and what you can expect. They will share a timeline with you. This timeline will help you know when to expect certain things.

On that timeline will be the basic breakdown of what will happen two months from your move and, then, six weeks and four weeks from the move date. Until finally, the timeline will share what to expect on the move date itself. Most companies will want you to be as comfortable as possible with the upcoming move and will be extremely courteous.

The movers you are assigned will be in direct talks with your relocation company. Both will keep you informed as to what appointments need to be made. For example, you will likely need to make an appointment for someone to visit your home or apartment for a chance to survey it. You, your spouse or a friend will need to be there on the day of the appointment.

When you have your home or apartment surveyed, the surveyor is looking merely for what kind of truck space your belongings will need. They need a chance to view the contents of your home so they can be sure to pack it properly. Most often they will need to look in closets and pantries, as well as under beds and in basements. Again, the surveyor needs to see how much square footage your belongings need for shipment.

The long distance mover may be the same company that supplies the people packing your belongings. Depending on the type of relocation package you have been assigned, you may have someone coming in on moving day to pack your home. It is possible that you will be doing the packing and the movers will be loading your belongings. Check with your relocation coordinator to see where you stand if you don’t already know.

In the event that your long distance mover is doing all the packing and loading, you will need to plan to be there on the day designated as your moving day. A team of people will come into your home and literally pack everything. Make sure you have clearly marked the luggage or belongs that you do not want packed. Clearly marking it is necessary, as they will likely pack everything if not stated otherwise.

There are so many perks to hiring a long distance mover for your next move. If you have been assigned one by your relocation manager, then you are already on your way to having a smooth move. Expect great service and an overall stress-free experience leading up to your relocation.
