Hiring a moving company is never an easy decision. There are so many factors to consider, and it’s hard to know who you can trust. To make the process easier for you, we’ve compiled some helpful tips that will guide your search and help you find success in your next move! Who Will Be Moving? If you’re a family with children or pets, it’s best to hire professionals. The experience is more costly but can also be much less stressful! Are there items that need special care such as antiques and electronics? You may want to consider hiring an expert company that knows how to handle these delicate things appropriately. Where Are You Going? If your new address isn’t within the same state as where you’re currently living, then long-distance movers would probably work out better for you in most cases if they have trucks available on both ends of the move. Be sure to ask about what type of vehicle they use before making a decision though! Sometimes smaller companies offer you a more affordable option but with the trade-off of using smaller vehicles or having to go back and forth on multiple days. It’s also important to note that long-distance moves can take much longer than shorter local ones so be sure you have enough time set aside for them! Which Services Do They Offer? Moving companies offer a wide variety of services, but it’s important to know what you’ll be getting before committing. Some moving companies might specialize in packing or unpacking exclusively whereas others may just drive your items from one place to another and...

So you have decided to take a big step and you are very excited. Unfortunately, that’s just the beginning of an often stressful task. Moving is as stressful as it is exciting. Even more so when it comes to a long-distance move.

Skip the new squares Flaunting new packing boxes may seem like a good idea, but it isn’t. There are tons of items that you can turn into packing supplies, like plastic boxes, suitcases, and baskets. Of course, you still need to invest in some very good moving funds. Using the best motors may not guarantee the safety of poorly packaged items. Don’t waste time It’s very common to spend time frantically searching for items while on the go. It gets even worse when you have to empty already packed items only to find a small item like a switch or charger. A Pixie study revealed that there are many things that people spend more than fifteen minutes of their day trying to find, including house keys, a wallet, and passports.

Picking the right moving date is important; Not only do you have to pay attention to the time of year, weather, school year, etc., but most people don’t even think about whether they should move over the weekend or not. Price As a general rule of thumb, moving will be more expensive in busy times – peak moving season, weekends, holidays, etc. Therefore, weekday moves are usually cheaper. Loss of work If you move during weekdays, you will miss out on some work, which will cost you money – so factor that in when you consider moving costs. Taking care of business You’ll need to call an internet provider, the electric company, the phone company, and many more to get started in your new place. Doing so over the weekdays will make sure you will actually get customer service representatives to answer you. No kids around Having your kids in school during moving day will come in handy – they will be safe and they won’t have to run around a house full of boxes and people moving them. Traffic Over the weekends, there can be lots of traffic, so make sure to plan ahead and be mentally and physically prepared for it. Local restrictions Some residential and commercial areas have laws and guidelines about when and how you can move. For example, in some places, you cannot move on the weekends, use the elevator for moving at peak hours, park the truck outside, etc. One last thing Moving can be an easy and simple process, with the help of our trusted packers and movers who are ready to...

Are you considering a move or a relocation? If so, then you’ll need to get some moving boxes and packing materials, as soon as possible. Cardboard boxes can be bought in department stores or through moving companies, but in case you’re on a tight budget and you are looking for some free cardboard boxes, we have some options to offer you: Supermarket/grocery store – they will have lots and lots of boxes in the back, so check out the cardboard recycle bin. Asking the owners or managers of the stores will help – they won’t get mad about your dumpster diving, and you may get a tip on when and where the best and cleanest boxes are available. Copy centers, office buildings – they use a lot of paper, which comes in big strong boxes. Electric supply stores – these are top-notch boxes, because they don’t store food so they don’t smell, and the boxes are usually sturdy – as they need to protect expensive tech. Bookstores – like tech boxes, book boxes also have to be sturdy and reliable, as books are heavy. Coffee shops – some coffee houses try to be more sustainable and recycle more, so if you take some boxes off their hands, you will help them out. Make sure not to take the boxes that smell like coffee, unless you are into your house smelling like coffee until you move. Moving companies – this won’t be free, but free isn’t always the best solution, as it will cost you if things get broken and damaged during the move. Professional packers and movers have the best...
