It seems that a lot of people believe that hiring a moving company is simply a case of the professional movers coming to your home, loading the truck and taking all your possessions to your new house.
If this is the service you want, it is all fairly straightforward; however, professional movers can personalize their service to your requirements. First of all there is the packing element. Not everybody wants to spend weeks sorting and packing up their home; therefore, how about you just do the sorting? Your movers can then deal with the packing on your behalf. You can arrange a full packing service so that you simply give the professionals the keys on the morning of the move and leave them to it; alternatively, they can pack specific items for you.
The latter is ideal if you have particularly valuable or fragile items, as you can ask the movers to take responsibility for packing these properly and getting them to your new home in one piece.
Don’t forget that your moving company will be there when it suits you. You will not be told when you are moving because there is a slot free on a specific day – you establish when you need to move out of your old place and into your new one and your moving company will arrange to be there.
When the moving company comes to give you a quote, you can discuss all your options and make sure that the service that is delivered is the one that you need.
