General guidance and tips
Moving can be an overwhelming process. Finding a new place to live, selling a home, co-ordinating dates, resolving finances; and that is before the physical moving has even begun. Moving home is viewed as one of the most stressful things that we will ever do, and nightmarish stories involving damaged furniture, lost property, and delays are unfortunately all too common. Once that final stage of relocation actually arrives, stress levels are so high that some people make the mistake of selecting a moving company too hastily or too late. What should be a timely, professional, and damage-free procedure can quickly become a disaster.
Avoid making an uninformed decision
Choosing a moving company is the most important decision you will make when moving home. To avoid potential trauma and to ensure that you make the best choice, select several like-minded companies to provide quotes with detailed descriptions of the process. Be wary of a surveyor who makes a proposal without spending a significant amount of time assessing your property or discussing your needs. Regardless of how experienced the surveyor may be, a tailor-made proposal requires attention to detail, time, information, and planning. A glance into each room will not suffice and is a good indication that the movers will spend equivalent time and care during the actual removal process!
