Let's face it, whether you are relocating to another house, moving to another office location or simply moving furniture between places, it can be both stressful and tiring. Below are 3 simple tips to ensure your moving day stays hassle free -
1. Discuss with your mover about the plan of attack. Planning and coordinating is essential to ensuring that all requirements are met. Therefore, talk at length about the kind of items and valuables you will be moving, and as well, what the mover expects from you.
In addition, it is always advisable that all the boxes are clearly identifiable, contents within the box noted, and where it should be placed within the new location. Hence it is a box that belongs to accounts department, label it on the box, as well noting the items packed into the box, and where the box should be stored in the office. Also the added advantage of box labeling is - it makes life easier for you during the unpacking stage.
Without question, taking this simple step will make the moving experience simpler and quicker for both you and the moving company
2. Request for all costs to be submitted to you in writing. This ensures there are no hidden surprises, and avoids any surprises come payment time. As well, ask if there are any traveling costs incurred between deport and destination.
However, be mindful that you do not stick to one quote. If you want the best value for money, just make sure you shop around for at least 3 quotations. Doing it this way, allows you to gain an idea of the average industry rate, and more importantly, the best moving company for your job.
Although, you want the lowest possible moving rate, you also want the most reliable service that can handle your valuables and cargo.
3. Google about the mover. As well as shopping around for the best price, you might as well research about the company, and find feed backs about their service. Often online directories like Truelocal, Yelp and Google Places will list both positive and negative candid customers reviews about their personal experience. Hence local online directories are the first place you should commence with your online research.
The 3 suggested steps above are just some of the ways you can use to ensure a relatively hassle free moving experience. It boils down to preparation, and some common sense to maintain things in order. And before you sign up with any moving company, make sure that they are covered by insurance for damaged items.
