Moving &
Storage
Home and Office
Moves When planning your move, start collecting
estimates and references four weeks prior to your
move. The mover should send copies of previous
customers as references and estimates should include
all rates and charges. Office moves are typically
larger, so you need to get your estimates about four
to six weeks prior to your move. Have your moving
representative walk through your office. This will
better determine the size of the crew and trucks
needed for an efficient move.
Storage and Packing
When choosing the storage consider time of year and
how long you will be needing your valuables stored.
Mini-storage is fine for summer and short term. Ling
term and winter storage should be kept in a heated
warehouse. This will protect your valuables from
moisture and cold temperatures that can damage
furniture. Having your mover pack your valuables is a
good idea. Not only can it get done faster, plus all
your valuables will be fully insured. If you are
working with a budget, you can purchase packaging
materials from your mover, and by packing yourself,
save money. A good box is one that is taped top and
bottom, thus insuring the safe move of its contents,
before, during, and after the move. |
