Some Answers About Residential Movers
Abigail Holland
If you're moving, you might be thinking about hiring someone to help. If this isn't something you've ever done before, then you should read the FAQs here to learn important answers that will make your decision easier. Also, you'll be more informed of what residential movers can do for you, so you know which services to request.
Do the movers supply the moving truck?
Yes, when you hire residential movers, they will show up with a moving truck that accommodates your moving needs. They will also drive the truck to the new place, so you won't have to worry about taking on that task. This can be a relief to people who don't have a lot of experience in very large vehicles.
Who is responsible for the packing material?
If you plan on packing everything yourself, and simply want to the movers move everything into the truck, transport the load to the new place, and unload everything into your new home, then you would need supply the packing materials. However, you would likely be able to purchase or rent materials from a moving company if you needed to.
If you hire a moving company for a 'white-glove' service, then they would show up with all the necessary packing supplies and carefully pack everything for you.
How much do you have to help the movers?
When you hire professional movers, they prefer you to let them do the tasks you hired them for without interference. They have a great system worked out that allows them to safely and efficiently get you moved without assistance. In fact, if you try to help them, you can end up making things more difficult for them and you can increase the risk of an accident by getting in the way unintentionally. So, sit back and take the time to relax or to tend to other things that need to be done while the movers take care of the labor part of the move for you!
Can the movers temporarily store your stuff?
Sometimes you need to be moved out of your house before you have access to the new one. Many residential moving companies do have the capabilities to store your things until you can move into the home. They may be able to store everything in a storage unit, in moving pods, or possibly in the truck, depending on how much time you have to wait to get into the new place.
