The Pros to Hiring a Moving Company

By  //  September 27, 2019

Hiring a moving company is actually one of the best things you can do if you’re moving house, and this is down to a number of reasons. 

A lot of people have a mutual distrust when it comes to moving companies. I’ll admit that when I was younger I shared this feeling because of the first Toy Story film; if a bunch of toys could break into a moving fan, who’s to say what a group of professional crooks could do?

Of course, with age, I slowly realized that this is a ludicrous possibility.

I’ve also realized that hiring a moving company is actually one of the best things you can do if you’re moving house, and this is down to a number of reasons. 

We all know how difficult a process moving house can be.

There are a lot of different things you need to take into account and a lot of bases you need to cover; have you got your old house on the market and sold it yet? Have you sorted out all of your finances? Have you bought everything you need for your move?

There’s a lot of stress that comes with these parts of the job, and you’ll want to reduce this as much as possible.

That’s why I believe moving companies are such a great option; they take care of so many tasks for you (if you know who to hire). Still don’t believe me?

Don’t worry, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case- particularly after my Toy Story analogy. I’m here to try and change your mind though, so here and all the best things about hiring a moving company.

The reliability they can bring

There are a lot of positives that moving companies can bring to your experience; they are, after all, moving experts.

However, if you choose the best companies out there then one of the best aspects they bring is a sense of reliability. Reliability is an important factor for any company you ever hire, no matter the task you want them to perform.

However, these guys will literally be in charge of the majority of your personal belongings.

The last thing you want is for them to make off with anything that means a lot for you, or to simply perform a patchy job.

This whole process is already stressful enough for you, and the last thing you want is to be put on edge by a company who don’t know what they’re doing. If you do find a company that’s trustworthy and can do a good job, you’ll be able to relax a lot more. 

There are a variety of different ways to find a reliable moving company. First of all, you could simply go online and find out all about their track records.

You could do this in a number of different ways; firstly, you could visit the websites of a lot of different websites.

Moving companies will no doubt have a lot of results and customer reviews on their websites which will tell you whether or not they are reliable and worth hiring.

If they don’t have these kinds of data on their sites, it should perhaps be a warning sign that they aren’t that reliable and should be steered clear of. 

You could also ask around your group of friends and family who have moved house before.

It’s not as though they’re going to lie to you as they know exactly what you’re going through, so if you know they’ve worked with a moving company before you could always ask them.

Ask them to list down the positives and negatives and over time you can build up a portfolio of different countries, which will allow you to compare different companies.

You will, therefore, have a lot more information at your disposal and can make a well-informed decision. 

The best moving companies have good insurance policies

The next benefit to hiring a good moving company is the fact that they’ll have good insurance policies in place.

You’ve probably all heard about some sort of horror story in the past where people have entrusted their belongings to a group of movers and they’ve ended up getting damaged.

You really want to avoid this at all costs, but sometimes it simply isn’t possible.

That’s why companies with good insurance are so handy. Of course, you should be looking for reliability above everything else, but in some cases, even the best companies are prone to the occasional accident.

That’s why looking for companies with good insurance is vital, as all your items will be covered. Even if your items do end up getting lost or damaged, you’ll be able to make a claim and simply have them fixed up or replaced.

It’ll put your mind at ease, especially because you won’t have to worry about looking after your valuable items on your own. Finding a company with effective insurance is a real benefit. 

Most companies have great customer service

As we’ve already discussed, moving house can be one of the most stressful processes you can go through.

The last thing you want is to be dealing with people who make you even more on edge, as this will only have a negative effect on both you and the whole moving process.

The good news is that the majority of moving companies have really good customer service and are really easy to work with.

This stems from their workers, who are usually really helpful and are great at their jobs, and goes all the way through to the people in charge who will always be willing you have a friendly chat.

If you’re unsure about anything, there should always be someone to voice your concerns to. 

It’ll subtract from your personal workload

You can’t exactly drop out of your job if you’re moving house, and if you have kids they’ll still need taken care of.

By hiring a moving company, you’ll be able to focus on other things while professionals are taking care of all the dirty work such as shifting heavy boxes into a van.

Not only will this reduce your workload (albeit for a fee), but it’ll help you mentally as well and calm you down throughout the process.
