THE FIRST THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE PLANING THE MOVE The first thing to consider about moving is when would I like to have it done? Very often this is a major factor in how much will it cost? Moving off season (like in the middle of winter is very often less expensive), but if you have kids in school like I do, then you might really not want to make a big change in their lives and move in the middle of the school year! You also need to consider that the weather might not be great and that can effect your move and cause damage to your belongings! If you are going to move summer), it just might be more expensive.
Then you need to think about what you will actually be moving.
Are you taking all of your belongings or will you be selling or giving some things away? This is important! You want to know if your belongings will fit into your new home just like you want or will you suddenly find out that the china cabinet doesn't fit on the wall in your dining room? Of course, we all want to avoid issues just like this! It's also very important to have an inventory for the moving company.
You will probably speak with lots of them!! IT'S TIME TO LOOK FOR A MOVING COMPANY! So once you have decided on the moving date and prepared an inventory it's time to talk with movers.
The first question most of us will ask is where do I find a good moving company? What kind of a moving service do I really want or need? There are a lot of ways to research this.
The best way to find out about moving companies and different moving services is to use the internet.
You will want at least a few quotes for your move so that you can compare the companies, the quotes you will get and the services that they offer.
There are many ways to have a move done.
You can do it yourself and rent a truck, or you can have a pod service or you can have a moving company that will come to your home and do all the work for you.
Which is best for you? What do they offer me? What are the benefits of each and what are the drawbacks?
