The next big move is around the corner, and you still don’t know what to expect from your moving company. Even though every service is different, you can expect a few staple, basic things. Moving companies should be a support system during this time of your life, and with tons of options available to you, the ability to make a decision to choose one that you are happy with has never been more available.

Before you do anything else, you should write down what your wants, needs, and expectations are from a potential moving company. If you just want someone to help you pack and you can take it from there, then you might only need to look for a smaller company. On the other hand, if you want a complete package, from planning to delivery and even transportation, then you should find someone who offers more intensive services.

Conducting research will assist you in establishing expectations based on your actual needs. According to research done on Move, 63% of movers said their move was unexpected, which could lead to an unorganized experience. Alternatively, 34% moved for family reasons, such as marriage, family, and the desire to be closer to the ones they love.

Moving Services Every Company Should Have

If you have a move coming up in the near future, we will walk you through some of the services that you can expect most companies to have and how they can help make your life easier. Oftentimes, people tend to loathe their moving experience, and as a new chapter in your life, we want you to find joy in it. 

Support with Moving Preparation and Timing

When you reach out to a moving company, the first question that they may ask is the date that you expect your move to be. This is because, as a company, they want to be able to guide and assist you along the way to find a time that works for all parties.

Depending on the information you give them, they may suggest a one-day or multiple-day service. Remember that moving companies should work towards the ultimate goal of helping you achieve comfort and peace of mind, so customer service should be at the top of their minds.

Pick up Furniture

This is one of the most commonly needed services when people plan to move from one place to another. You will want to take as many things as possible from your current home and it can be a daunting experience to try to determine how that will be possible.

As Thumbs Up Moving Labor declares, “We have found that most of the stress with moving comes from not having enough hands to move everything.” In addition to big ticket items such as furniture, there are also particular things that they hold in their houses or apartments that offer sentimental or functional value. Movers can assist you with the heavy lifting, organization, and implementation of making your relocation.

Transportation

After you’ve packed the boxes, the question becomes how you are going to transport them from one place to another. Moving companies will assist you in taking your things to your final moving destination. Keep in mind that there are different permissions needed depending on how far you are going to move. Currently, there are licenses needed when you are moving from one state to another as well as to a new country. Ensure that the company you choose has the required certifications and licenses to transport your belongings safely and legally.

Unpacking

Let’s fill up that empty house. This is another job that will require all hands on deck, and moving companies can be a big help. They can get everything set up, help you figure out where your belongings work best given the available space, and more.

When making your decision to choose a moving company, research is a crucial aspect to success. Moving services can allow you to actually find enjoyment in the experience and focus on enjoying the memories of relocating that will last you a lifetime.
