Let’s be honest, unless you’re moving to the dorm for the first time, or maybe into your first apartment from that dorm, you’re too old to be asking your friends to help you move. We know, we know, you used to be able to pay your movers in gratitude and pizza, but those days left at the same time that the entirety of your worldly possessions stopped consisting of a beat-up couch and two boxes you picked up from the grocery store.
Planning a move can be overwhelming and stressful at times. Professional movers understand the best ways to navigate the roads and how to handle your belongings to keep them safe and protected. Knowing that your possessions are in safe hands will help to ease your mind on moving day.
A professional moving company will often be the most reliable option, rather than attempting to move with the help of friends and family. Professional movers undergo rigorous training to learn the best moving techniques so that they can keep your belongings safe.
A moving company will be held accountable for your move and will work to ensure that all of your belongings arrive at your doorstep safely. Relocating without the help of experienced movers gives you the responsibility of seeing that all of your belongings arrive safely, which can result in added stress during your move.
Your friends are busy now. People have jobs, weekend obligations, and kids (many of whom have their own weekend obligations!). A moving company will be able to give you a date and time that you can expect all of your possessions to arrive at your new home. Many companies pride themselves on prompt, professional service, and by finding a good mover, you can expedite and simplify the moving process. Not to mention, they can squeeze your couch through that staircase much more quickly than you can!
A professional moving company will be more efficient at handling bulky items such as furniture or heavy boxes during your move and will be able to more efficiently transfer all of your belongings to the truck and, later, into your new home.
We can all agree that watching your best friend throw his back out is not our idea of a nice Sunday. Without proper training, heavy lifting can lead to back strain and other health-related issues. You can avoid all heavy lifting during your move by hiring a professional moving company to assist you with the process.
Hiring a moving company often results in a much safer moving process. Experienced professionals understand how to transport items that you may not, load and unload boxes, pack a lamp properly, and wrap your mattress safely. To reduce or eliminate damage to your items, they use the right materials throughout the move.
If you’ve considered asking friends or family to help you move, it’s important to understand the risks and hassles that go along with that. Packing your whole house with the help of a few friends will be more challenging than if you hired professional movers to pack your boxes and transport them to your new home safely.
