Although research suggests that as many as 1 in 10 Americans move every year, many individuals are unaware of their options when it comes to hiring a moving company, and how they may affect the rates. This new report explores each option, the supplies they require, the estimated costs, and other factors that may determine the optimal choice for individual moves.
The report provides detailed instructions for packing different types of valuable items, such as jewelry, art, and electronics, and lists several important precautions to protect them from common causes of damage. For some items, the report may also suggest specialty supplies, such as large boxes designed to protect oversized artwork.
Movers.com has also included an easy rate estimate tool that connects their readers with pre-screened local movers. By filling out one simple form with details about the size, distance, and date for an upcoming move, users can get up to 7 estimates from local professionals with no cost or obligation.
While the report suggests several methods for determining if a moving company should be trusted with valuables, it also lists several items that users should always pack themselves. This includes medications, identification, sentimental items, and personal electronics, which users are advised to transport to their new homes themselves, just in case anything goes wrong.
Other suggestions included in the report apply to all users, whether they have chosen self-packing or full-service packing options. This includes keeping valuables hidden during the move, inquiring about additional insurance for expensive items, and keeping a photo inventory of each box.
An excerpt from the report explains, “While it may be perfectly fine for you to throw your DVD collection and old books into a cardboard moving box and slap on some packing tape, you can’t do the same with your valuables. Whether you have expensive jewelry, old family heirlooms, antique furniture, or priceless paintings, there’s a certain level of care required when packing and moving your most valuable possessions.”
