Sheffield, United Kingdom – July 11, 2019 / Growth Untapped /
You are moving across the country or even across the town, residential relocation is stressful, cumbersome and actually goes much beyond mere packing, loading, and unloading. It is not rocket science either, but most people end up with a chaotic nightmare.
Richard Wright, owner of Wrights Relocations, with 25 years of experience in the moving industry shares some valuable insights into how to move faster, smarter and cheaper.
Pre Move Purging
There are many reasons you would want to sort through your stuff and get rid of anything disposable. You certainly don’t want to carry the clutter to your new place and more importantly, can significantly reduce the price you pay for removal. Sell, donate or trash – moving lighter is a smarter thing to do. If you do this well in advance before the movers start coming in for in-home survey, you present a leaner and cleaner house to get a better estimate.
Richard says “ we have seen too many of our customers pushing this exercise too late and end up deciding to carry the clutter to their new place. The cost they pay is in terms of money, time and too much stress at every stage of relocation. We have seen some smart customers as well using an inventory app and segregating their stuff by category before we arrive on the relocation day. Smart customers usually make our job faster and making their cost cheaper.”
Get the Right Moving Company At the Right Price
Your choice of movers can be the only difference between a hassle-free or stressful relocation. Since the moving industry is plagued by scammers and fly-by-night operations, people often end up with a bitter experience when they make their choice solely on the basis of cost.
Always look for an established business who are reputed and are doing it for years, they would stand by you in case you have a complaint.
Insist on getting a binding estimate after the mover agent does a home survey. This is always better for both sides than a non-binding estimate given over email or phone which may end up significantly higher after the job is done causing much disappointment.
Legitimate movers are not the cheapest, but competitive in their pricing and always transparent on services included in their estimate. Four major factors influence the quote
- Distance between locations, property sizes
- Total number of things, full or limited packaging, unpacking
- Day and Time
- Any extra services
You may also ask for hourly rates depending on the size of your property. So if you want to save on your costs, you can leverage some self-packing, choosing non-weekend days to negotiate a better rate.
The usual estimate always includes insurance for a minimum valuation which can be upgraded for additional coverage.
Organized Moving is Faster and Cheaper
If you have prepared well at least a week before your big day of the relocation, then movers guys can really finish up your work faster and cheaper if you have booked with an hourly rate.
Cheaper or not, it still pays to be organized and saves a lot of headaches, time at your new place.
Discuss and identify things what movers may not move like – plants, flammable items, power equipment with fuel, etc.
If you are packing by self, organize your stuff by categories that go to separate rooms at your new place. This makes it much easier for movers guys to swiftly put them into a box and label it. Be generous in labeling all your boxes with as much detail as possible.
Take photos of your furniture, electronic equipment before they are dismantled which helps to act as a reference putting it all back together in your new place.
