6 Reasons to Hire an Expert for Your Next Cross-Country Move

In This Article:

Moving across the country is a big chore. The DIY process can be pretty challenging, with a million details to work on. You need to pack, load, unload, and unpack everything, starting from a small lamp to your favorite couch.

Such details, when handled by a team of professionals, can make your move smooth as well as stress-free. For instance, if you are traveling from New York City to Canada, NYC long-distance movers can assist you efficiently. They are cost-effective and detail-oriented, taking care of all your belongings to avoid any issues in your move. Besides, they can offer several other benefits.

Reliability

You can rely on the professionals regarding every detail of your move. Moving to a new place requires a lot of research. You might have to know about the nearest grocery stores, locality, schools and parks in the new area. Without ample research, moving out can be stressful. Moving is one of the most common situations where you can get stressed. Professionals can help you avoid the need to do all the research yourself.

They will help you prepare everything beforehand, from creating a to-do list to completing all the tasks in it. They will also help you pack everything for the move in a way that no harm comes to it.

Peace of Mind

You can't move to another country by just making a to-do list or getting some packing boxes. You need to figure out many details like where you will hire a truck, how big the vehicle should be, if you need more than two trucks, how the bulky items will move, etc.

The vehicle you choose must depend on the route it goes through and the items it will carry. Suppose you have to go through a dusty area to reach your new house. If you use an ordinary vehicle, the sand on the way will enter all the boxes. Hence, you need a sealed truck to prevent soil from entering the containers. Several such questions may lead to stress.

While moving across countries, the stress can double as the distance is pretty long. Cross country movers can take this stress from you and can work on big and tiny details themselves to give you a peaceful moving experience.

Cost-Effective

Moving with the assistance of family members and friends may seem like a cheaper option, but it's not. When you get down to adding up all the elements, you'll find that, along with being difficult, DIY is costly too.

You will need to arrange the moving tools, transportation and equipment when you're moving independently. You will organize everything from boxes, packing materials, tape to bubble wraps along with the moving truck, which will add to your bills. Hence, professional movers become a good choice, as they can lower your bills and stress in one go.

On average, an interstate move can cost around $4,000 and an in-state move around $1,000. The sum might sound significant, but these prices cover everything from helping you pack to setting up your new house.

Safety

Professional movers are trained at moving goods; they are experts at taking care of heavy goods without compromising safety. You might think that all you need to do is pack the boxes, put them in a vehicle and unload them in your new house. But there are safety measures you need to consider. For instance, if you overpack a box, it will tear. Professionals are aware of all such best practices.

They understand the safety routes, the secure ways to load and unload boxes, the packing techniques used for delicate essentials, etc. They use the proper methods and suitable materials to provide safety to your belongings.

Expert Customer Service

You will receive expert services from a team that knows how to work in a hassle-free manner. Suppose you hire a local truck driver to help transport the goods to your new house. The only thing that the driver will do is bring the truck, drive it to your destination and take it back. He won’t help with loading or unloading your belongings. Professionals operate opposite to that.

Good customer experience is essential for any business to thrive. Professional movers understand this and consider an excellent experience their key differentiators. Hence, mover companies’ staff will ensure that they help you throughout the process.

Free Estimates

Budget is of utmost importance when planning a move. Around 70% of the moving costs go into actually transporting your belongings, 20% in storage, 7.5% in packing, and 2.5% in other related costs. Hence, you need to craft your budget accordingly and stick to it. However, it can be difficult.

A lot of moving companies offer free estimates to their customers. You can have a free consultation to understand them and the costs before deciding on a company.

Companies that give you a free consultation will provide you with all the details regarding their services, prices, add-ons, etc. It gives you an indication of what kind of company you are dealing with.

Conclusion

If you are moving across the country, you should hire professional movers who will assist you in all the steps of moving. A professional moving company will cover all heavy loads, tiny details, paperwork, etc. These experts will be providing you with all services in a cost-effective manner. So, hire professional movers, and then you can look forward to an easy and stress-free journey.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
