When most people think of moving, they think about packing and moving boxes. And that’s with good reason because packing takes up a huge part of the moving process. And we all know that it’s not easy to pack up an entire family house, let alone a single room. And that’s part of the reason why we think that everyone should seek professional packing services from their residential or commercial mover. When you have your packing done for you, you get to enjoy lots of benefits that include:
Professional packing
Movers pack very differently from the average person. After all, they pack almost every day of every week, all year long. Needless to say, they have mastered the process and have it down to a science. And that means that they won’t make the same mistakes you are bound to make if you packed yourself. If they are packing a kitchen, for example, they will know what to pack first, what to put at the bottom of the boxes, what materials to use to prevent delicate utensils from getting damaged, etc. Basically, you get professional packing when you let the professionals do it.
Less time taken
Your mover will take hours to pack up your entire house while it will take you days or even weeks to do the same. In fact, it is advised that one starts packing up their house about two weeks before a move. Needless to say, this amounts to lots of hours spent on the process. And that’s not to mention the stress of doing so. Instead, why not let the movers do it for you and save all that time? When you let movers pack for you you’re able to spend your time normally either at work, relaxing after a long day’s work, playing with your kids, etc.
Liability issue
When you pack your own furniture and it gets damaged during the packing process, you are liable for the said damage. After all, you are responsible if you pack your items in a manner that allows grazing, scratching or breakage. And it’s dissapointing when items get broken during a move, especially furniture or cutlery. Thankfully, when you let movers pack for you, the liability shifts to them. If items get damaged at any point during handling, they get to compensate through their insurer. Of course, items rarely get damaged because they’re so good at it.
Avoid moving fatigue
And then there the big issue that not many people talk about. If you are responsible for your own packing, and maybe you’re doing the loading/driving/unpacking yourself, it leaves you very fatigued after the move. You may have to take a few days off work, sleep in for a day or two, and basically take time to recover from the grueling process. If you have your mover pack and unpack for you, post-moving fatigue is greatly reduced. You can basically wake up the very next day, enjoy your new house, tour the neighborhood, or even go to work.
