Most people think hiring a full service mover is an expensive luxury. To save money, they pack things themselves and rope friends and family into helping with the move. But, when you consider all the hidden costs involved, is this truly a cost-effective choice? Time, friendships, sanity and even money can be saved in many different ways when you let professional movers handle all of the aspects of your relocation.
A full service mover can send in professionals to pack every item in your home. They will go through your cupboards, pack your dishes, your grocery staples, and even the junk in your junk drawer! Since they have been trained, every item will be inventoried, inspected for any existing damage, and safely packed. This saves you untold amounts of time and stress. You don't have to scrounge around for boxes or packing material, and you don't have to worry about incorrectly packed things breaking. Professional packers can do the job much more quickly and efficiently than you can, because this is what they do, and they do it very well. (Just make sure to schedule their services in advance.)
When it comes time to put things in the truck, professional movers handle all the loading, heavy lifting and transporting. They are fully insured against injury, so you don't have to worry. Hiring a full service mover means that you don't have to rent or borrow a truck and figure out how to fit everything inside it without damaging anything. You don't need to rent dollies to move the heavy furniture. You don't have to beg family and friends to assist you. You don't have to worry about someone getting hurt moving heavy boxes and furniture, and so you avoid the potentially costly lawsuit resulting from an injury.
Don't forget the cost of beer, pizza and other foods friends and family always expect. Another possible cost you'll avoid is child care - having kids underfoot isn't a problem. If necessary, you don't even have to be there at all!
When the truck arrives at your new home, you will have the choice of being unpacked, or you can opt to have furniture placed, and boxes left in the rooms you designate to unpack at your leisure. Think about how much easier it will be to unpack things and put them where they belong when everything is carefully labeled and catalogued.
Furthermore, if you purchase a full insurance option from a full service mover, you will be compensated for any damage or breakage that occurs during the move. If your Uncle Dan is helping, and he accidentally scratches your antique dresser in the process, will he want to pay to have the furniture refinished or repaired? Probably not, but odds are you'll both feel bad about it.
Yes, a full service move is costly. However, as they say, time is money. Moving companies will free up a lot of your time for more productive, lucrative or enjoyable pursuits. Furthermore, when you factor in the emotional stress on yourself and your relationships, physical stress to your body (and the bodies of loved ones), plus possible costs of damage, breakage, and insurance claims due to injuries, it's easy to see why a full service mover is a good deal and could actually save you money.
