Moving is always a troublesome and nervous affair. You can organize everything yourself, but it is much more convenient to trust professional moving companies.
What is included in the price
The price of moving services is included movers, driver and truck rental. Payment is hourly and calculated for the time spent on loading, transportation and unloading. Helping or not helping employees depends only on the wishes of the customer.
The disadvantage of such a payment is that if the car gets stuck in a traffic jam, you will also have to pay for the idle time, so it is worth negotiating a fixed cost of services.
Some companies offer furniture disassembly and assembly services.
What needs to be clarified
Before deciding on the choice of a carrier, specify which car will be used, as well as the degree of its equipment. Good companies offer cars equipped with at least brackets or racks for placing furniture. Loaders must also have rigging belts for fast and gentle transportation of large objects.
The responsible carrier will not insist on prepayment, the only exception is the packaging of household appliances and furniture by the company's employees.
If there are a lot of things, it is better to call an appraiser or discuss in detail what and how much you plan to transport with the manager. It is better to make the order in advance, optimally a week before the day of the planned move. Urgent moves are more expensive.
How to properly pack things
First, put everything in boxes, then it will be easier to find the necessary things yourself. Fragile items, dishes should be additionally wrapped with paper or bubble film, boxes should be sealed with tape and labeled.
It is better to disassemble the cabinet furniture - this will save time during loading. Use film to wrap furniture panels, and the corners should be covered with cardboard so as not to scratch and damage the coating.
Pay
Payment negotiations are conducted only with the manager. To do this, call the office before the end of the work and discuss the total amount. Additional remuneration to employees for quality services provided - only at the request of the customer. Before handing over the money, check whether everything is in place.
If something is broken or damaged, feel free to draw up a report, take a photo of the damaged item and write a claim in which you specify the requirements for reimbursement. Neighbors can be involved as witnesses.
Moving companies really help to save time and nerves when moving, the main thing is to choose the right carrier. For this, give preference to large companies with their own cars and a staff of professional employees.
