Tips for Easing the Moving Process

You can ease your move by de-cluttering your home thoroughly before packing. There are many unnecessary things in our homes which we accumulate gradually without even noticing. Identify what you don't need and toss it. If some of the household goods you are purging are functional, take them to a donation center in your area.

Pack beforehand. Start immediately you decide to move out, but be careful not to pack things you use frequently. Begin with things like beddings in your visitors' room, books which you are not reading, etc.

Find a moving company to assist you especially on the moving day. You may have friends willing to help, but they can't match the services of professional movers. Furthermore, it is usually cheaper to acquire your moving supplies from them.

Know your rights and responsibilities when dealing with a moving company. The firm should advise you on the things they don't move either because they are hazardous or prohibited. Your contract should outline how the company handles damages.

Ensure that your new home is ready for occupation. It should be clean and fitted with utilities like gas, electricity, water, cable, etc. If it has faults, ask the homeowner to fix them.

How Moving Companies Improve Relocations

Moving involves too many concurrent activities which could get out of hand if you don't know how to manage the relocation. That's why do-it-yourself moves are prone to many incidents.

Professional movers are experts in all matters moving. They pack your items adequately to minimize breakage. They have the skills for handling bulky items and breakables like chinaware. The movers also use specialized machines to haul various loads between the house and the moving truck.

Moving companies have a compensation plan in place to cover any damages. In a DIY approach, any damages that occur are your sole responsibility.

A successful move doesn’t just happen. You have to approximate the quantities of various supplies and the right truck to hire. You must also have reliable helpers on standby. Striking such a delicate balance is quite a task for amateurs. A moving company spares you the stress by dealing with all these logistics at once.

Selecting a Reliable Moving Company

There are plenty of moving companies including questionable ones ready to provide services to the public. To get one you can trust, focus on your home area so that you can visit them to see what kind of dealers they are.

Search the internet and ask for recommendations from colleagues. After obtaining leads, visit their official websites and find out if they offer the kind of services you want.

Through research, you can tell the reputation of a company from its reviews. Ensure that your movers have a considerable period of service in the shipping industry.

Note down their names, USDOT numbers, and location. Use this mover search tool embedded on the Department of Transportation website to verify if the details provided are valid.

Confirm that the transporter has an insurance plan covering your items while in transit. Read the terms and conditions keenly to avoid future disputes.

“I though taking my car to Connecticut was going to be the most difficult part of the move. And until I found Joe and A1 Auto Transport, it was. Fortunately, from that point forward it was handled flawlessly. A month ago, I tried a website which promised to find me a company with great rates. More than a dozen carriers took me up on the offer, so I chose the one that was the cheapest. Instead of showing up, he called on the shipping date to tell me his truck is getting repairs. I waited 2 more days before finally cancelling the order. I lost a week pointlessly, and my family and I were supposed to move 2 weeks later. I searched some more and chose a broker with a seemingly good reputation. After a week of waiting, I finally stopped waiting for him to find me a truck. Finally, a work colleague to which I was complaining about the situation, recommended A1 Auto Transport. He’d used them in the past and recommended them with a ‘thumbs up.’ I called Joe that same day. He told me it was peak shipping season. Some companies, instead of telling you they’re full, may choose to simply let you wait in case one of their other clients cancels. Fortunately, he had a truck available, and he sent it my way immediately. In a couple of hours, my car was on its way to Connecticut.”

“A couple months ago, while on a vacation to Massachusetts, I finally found a car I was looking for. It took me over a year to find it, but after speaking to the seller and 20 minutes of negotiating, it was finally mine. Now, I just had to get it back home to New York. Easier said than done. Fortunately, after searching the web for an hour, I found A1 Auto Transport, a reputable company who seemed to be what I was looking for. Dealing with them was surprisingly easy. I spoke to Joe and got an estimate quite fast. I had a million questions, ranging from the reasonable, like “How much does it cost” to a few that pushed the limit, like “is the driver an alcoholic.” Joe was patient enough to ease my worries. One of his trucks was schedule to drop by Massachusetts in a couple of days, and it was there at the agreed upon time. I barraged the driver with a dozen more questions, to which he replied calmly, though a bit surprised. He took a spin around my brand new car, checked for any scratches and was surprised to not find any. I gave him a wink and told him to take special care of it. This he did. When I met him to pick the car up, it was exactly as I saw it when it boarded the truck. You have my gratitude!”

“This is the first time I have moved my vehicle this way. I was kind of scared at first not knowing much about how it works. I ended up working with John and he expalined in detail how it all works, My car was delivered a little late (2 days) but the team more than made up for it with their communication. Thanks again.”

“Moving to Oregon was one of the most stressful experiences I ever went through. The moving company was a pain to find and a bigger pain to work with. They arrived late and took forever to load my belongings. The only thing that went well was A1 Auto Transport, the team I called to transport my car. The contrast between them and the other guys was incredible. Joe was very polite and well mannered. He listened to my request carefully then offered several options for me to choose from. He indicated the cheapest would be using an open carrier, to which I agreed wholeheartedly. He scheduled for one of his trucks to arrive 2 days later, between 2 pm and 5 pm. It arrived at around 4 pm at the nearby supermarket parking lot that we set as a meeting point. The roads near my home would never allow a truck of that size to fit in, so we agreed to meet there. I sent my son with the car to take care of everything, since I was busy with the moving company. He returned an hour later saying everything went smoothly and he really liked the driver. Four days later, while we were unpacking, the truck also arrived in Oregon with our car. The driver was professional, always smiling and patient enough to wait while we inspected the vehicle. There was nothing to report, not a scratch on it, so we ended our transaction well. I’m happy to recommend A1 Auto Transport to everyone and wish more companies would be like it.”

“I know it’s standard procedure, but I didn’t really search much for an auto transporter. I found A1 Auto Transport’s website in a couple of minutes and went straight to the contact page. To my surprise, Joe answered immediately. The car he had to move was with my Mom in Montana, so he promised to make the process as easy and smooth as possible. After inspecting the neighborhood, he concluded a truck could be brought right next to her house. My mom has no problem walking a couple blocks, but driving is another thing. This was the ideal scenario. Unfortunately, where I wanted it delivered wasn’t on any major routes for auto transport. Going off route would cost the company time, and therefore money, making the cost for my transport more expensive as well. Joe offered a cheaper alternative, where I would pick up the car in a nearby town. I chose to pay a little more, since I wasn’t familiar with the meeting point and didn’t want the hassle. I also don’t know that many people with a driving license and the time to drive with me to pick up the car. Going on a bus was a pain, so I chose against it. The price was fair and within my budget. I’m glad to have my Jeep and really happy with the service.”
