Making the journey far simpler, some folks can actually give solid advice on the matter and truly help with a move. Some of the advice people share can make your move into a nightmare on the other hand. We at Excalibur Moving & Storage would like to separate the myths and reveal facts to help your move be a success with this in mind.
1) Myth: Your move is best done Friday
Eventually was taken as fact, realtors started this rumor. When most people have weekends off and commit to moving and getting settled during that time, everyone has the same idea about moving. Getting a professional booked on the weekend can be challenging especially if you are a procrastinator and wait too close to your move. Many of the moving companies will increase rates on the weekend as well. Friday is not the prime moving day in the end, but it is the most convenient for most.
2) Myth: Any box will work and moving supplies are unnecessary
In an attempt to wrap your fragile possessions in, and please do not use the used decrepit old boxes from your local grocery store, 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. To provide more protection for your treasures during transportation, investing in appropriately sized boxes that are sturdy and fresh is in your better interest. Bubble wrap to protect the fragile items, and a few fresh markers can clearly mark your labels and new quality packing tape can ensure those boxes are secure.
3) Myth: All professional movers are no different
From company to company, and a surprising number will sub-employ movers, moving companies differ. With no experience or training, this means they recruit temps daily. Because too many people find their movers are inexperienced, untrained, and unprofessional in moving your home, this myth is one of the worst. With employees that are properly trained and always extend professionalism, companies, like Excalibur Moving & Storage, is beneficial.
