We all know moving comes at a cost. When we get our quotes, there’s often a difference in price. Naturally, we like to save a few dollars if we can and choose the cheaper option. It’s just a matter of moving furniture and boxes, right? But are cheap removalists offering the same service as specialists? It pays to look at what you’re getting for the price. The difference is simple: you can move house or you can move house without problems and stress.
Stress. Who needs it?
It’s just plain bad for you. Moving house is widely considered to be one of the most stressful events that can happen in life. Transporting boxes and furniture is only one part of the process. You have to pack up your belongings, clean the house and also manage dozens of other tasks at the same time.
This is where you need to see what you’re getting from your removalist for the price. If they’re only picking up, transporting and delivering your belongings, you have to do the rest. Using a removalist who does more, such as cleaning the house, professional packing, moving pets and other services will make the process easier and much less stressful.
What about saving money?
Moving is a complex business. If you find you have to hire several different companies to provide the services you need, it can end up costing you more that you expected. If you’re moving long distance to another city or state, you’ll want to avoid double handling of your belongings which exposes them to more chance of damage. A specialist who offers a full range of services is always a better option.
How valuable is your time?
This is also an important question you should ask yourself when you look at your moving quotes. Yes, you can save money by doing more yourself. However, there are many things you must do yourself when moving house such as getting utilities connected, updating your address with agencies and numerous other administrative tasks. Is your time best spent saving a few dollars, or making the transition as smooth as possible?
How valuable is time with family?
There’s so much to do when moving, it’s easy to overlook family. Especially if you’re moving with kids, family time is precious as you adjust to a new home, neighbourhood, city or state. Having a removalist free up your time makes this transition much easier for all and gives you a chance to settle in together.
Everybody has different circumstances. Even though your move will always be better using specialist services, we understand that sometimes you have to move on a budget. Either way, give us a call. We do everything from by the hour moving services to the complete package.
