Tips to make your move easier
- Plan in advance. Contact the movers, arrange a walkthrough and do an estimate of the number of boxes to be used. Estimate the load value and ensure they are equipped to handle specialized loads such as pool tables and pianos.
- Pack early enough before movers arrive. If the company provides packing services, ease the company movers’ movement around the house by placing items in a strategic location.
- Sell or donate items you no longer require. This lightens the load, subsequently lowering the load fee.
- Handle important and personal items by yourself. Have a bag that contains your documents, money, cards, and heirlooms. If possible make copies of the documents just in case you lose them. If personal items are large, arrange for specialized moving with the company.
- Cancel subscriptions on moving day; notify relevant individuals/bodies of your new address.

Is there need for a professional moving company?
- Moving is a daunting ask and requires ample preparation. The planning, packing, transporting items, unpacking and arranging afresh can take a huge toll on anyone.
- People have different opinions about moving companies. Some prefer doing it themselves, while others contract professionals. With the amount of work, risk and value involved it would be advisable to hire professionals to handle the task. Moving companies shift the risk of damage, delays, insurance cover, and loss from you to them.
- Time is an important factor in moving. There are other important activities to do on the moving day other than packing and loading. Moving companies plan and work under a specified timeline.
- Additional services offered. Companies have storage facilities where they can store goods for you for a period before you sort out your new premises. They have the best equipment that protects against damage, and use the most advanced technology to communicate.
- Moving companies use well trained employees who have the stamina and strength to deal with heavy items and numerous trips involved.
How to find the best moving company
Conduct online research while still asking for recommendations. The best moving companies are bound to have been heard of. Use customer reviews to know which company renders superb service. Use websites such as Myreviews.com, transportreviews.com and check on the company ratings.
Do a credibility search on USDOT, CPUC, AMSA and SMA. If a company is registered, licensed, regulated and has a background in all the above, it is legitimate, and has been operational for years.
Check on prices charged by different companies and compare. Engage the one with free added services such as packing, unpacking, low storage services, and repatriations for delays. Also remember to be on the look out for hidden charges. Engage a professional if necessary.
