Moving between homes when you have a lot of item can be time consuming and tedious. One way to ease the time it takes and make the process more efficient is to have adequate boxes on hand for your upcoming move. Also having boxes that are shaped for specific items will allow you to adequately protect your items in a fast manner without improvising or possibly damaging your items. Along with the purchase of your boxes it a good idea to grab bubble wrap if you don't already have some old newspaper. Moving tape should be next on your list, and finally something to drink so you stay hydrated.
Did you realize that if you have a flat panel TV you can get a custom box for its specific screen size. You can remove the stand and place you TV upright in the box and keep it safe during your move. Even laying certain TV's down can cause them to stop woking permanently. This is just one example of how you want to make sure you protect your items from damage. Replacing your own TV because you damaged it could easily double the cost of your move. Large mirrors and picture frames are another item that people who move themselves tend to neglect. It's very easy to break a mirror and create a hazardous moving situation for yourself or family and friends. Creating an easy way to transport your clothing is another great idea. You can achieve this with boxes or other means. We recommend whatever you prefer but make sure you choose an option that protects your clothes from dirt or snags.
Sometimes when you are moving certain items need to remain in a storage area. There could be many reasons as to why you need to place these items into storage. It's easy if the company you choose to move your items also has a storage facility onsite to handle your extra items. A lot of our cutovers use this method as a way to get rid of unwanted items. They place unwanted items in storage for two months, then once they are settled in they retrieve the items and list them on craigslist or have a garage sale. This saves an extra trip to a storage unit and having to unpack, then repack, then unpack again at the storage unit. You want to move as quickly and painlessly as possible. We can help you achieve that goal with our moving and storage combos.

A lot of times I hear people say that they cannot afford a mover. Then I wonder if they really consider all of the aspects of moving your self with out the help of movers. Or better yet those who find helpers on craigslist thinking they will receive the same benefit but at a lower cost. First off hiring helpers or labor from craigslist is a really bad idea unless you want problems later down the road. You will have a difficult time getting a background check completed on a anyone you find on Craiglist in the near term and as one couple found out. It's a great way for thieves to scope out all of your belongings and come back to burglarize your home later. These robbers were clever enough to find out when the homeowners would be a t work through small talk during the move.
