A grand majority of the population want to share there two cents worth in any subject, whether you want it or not, including when it comes to moving. Some folks can actually give solid advice on the matter and truly help with a move, making the experience far simpler. On the other hand, some of the advice people share can make your move a nightmare. With that in mind, we at Excalibur Moving & Storage would like to separate the myths and reveal facts to help your next move be a success.
Is Friday the Best Day for Moving House?
Realtors started this rumor, that eventually was taken as fact. Everyone has the same idea about moving, when most people have weekends off and commit to moving and getting settled during that time. Especially if you are a procrastinator and wait too close to your move, getting a professional booked on the weekend can be challenging. Additionally, many of the moving companies will increase rates on the weekend. In the end, Friday is not the prime moving day, but it is the most convenient for most.
What Supplies Do I Need when Moving?
Despite how tempting it may be, resist the urge to use 5-year-old tape that has been abused, or the marker that is practically dried out, or resorting to old catalogs in an attempt to wrap your fragile possessions in, and please do not use the used decrepit old boxes from your local grocery store. Invest in appropriately sized boxes that are sturdy and fresh is in your better interest to provide more protection for your treasures during transportation. New, quality packing tape can ensure those boxes are secure, bubble wrap to protect the fragile items, and a few fresh markers can clearly mark your labels.
All Professional Movers are NOT the Same
Moving companies differ from company to company, and a surprising number will sub-employ movers. This means they recruit temps daily, with no experience or training. This myth is one of the worst because too many people find their movers are inexperienced, untrained, and unprofessional in moving your home. Companies, such as Sky Van Lines, have experienced employees that are properly trained and always extend professionalism.
Do I Need Moving Insurance?
Required to carry minimum financial loss pertaining to your valuables, professional moving companies cannot cover it all if there is an issue. It is always encouraged for movers to explore further insurance options and get full coverage on their stuff, particularly their valuables so in the event of a catastrophe, they are covered and protected.
