You’ll be moving in a few months, and that means making preparations now. Did you know that your local move can provide support other than showing up to load all your furnishings and packed items? There’s quite a bit the moving company can do to help you prepare. Here are some examples of how they can provide valuable assistance and ensure you are ready by moving day.
1. Locking in the Moving Date
One of the first things that needs to be done is reserving the day for the move to take place. A reputable mover will ensure the date is locked in and that the right type of moving van or vans are set aside for the project. This may mean that a representative from the moving company will visit your home and help you determine the size and type of vans needed to get everything to the new place. At that point, the representative can also provide advice on how many drivers and personnel will be needed to handle the move efficiently.
2. Offering Temporary Storage Options
Perhaps you will be selling a home. That means packing some things in advance and placing them in storage so the home can be readied for open houses and private showings. Where will you store those packed belongings in the interim?
One approach is to ask your mover. The moving company may also own a storage facility, allowing you to rent temporary storage between now and your moving date. When the time comes, the movers will transport everything from the home and from storage to the new place.
3. Selling Boxes and Other Moving Supplies
You could spend a lot of time going all over town trying to find the right packing boxes and containers. A better alternative is to check out the line of boxes and other packing supplies that the moving company has on sale. You’ll find the pricing to be competitive. The boxes are also sturdy enough to provide a reasonable amount of protection for your belongings. Between saving time and money, why not buy your supplies directly from the mover? If you are interested, you may find a lot of useful information and resources at Matco.
4. Helping With The Packing
Do you look around the house and wonder how you will ever get everything packed before moving day? The good thing is that you don’t have to manage the task all by yourself. There’s a good chance that your mover offers packing services.
You can arrange for professional packers to come to your home and pack up most of your belongings. They will label the boxes and other containers so there’s no doubt about what’s found in each box. When everything is delivered to the new place, you will know which box needs to be taken to each of the rooms.
Don’t wait until the last minute to get ready for a move. Call a local moving company today and start making plans. With the aid of a professional, your move will be a lot easier than you expected.
