Packing Your House When Relocating
Moving is daunting, especially if you are relocating to a new area. The idea of packing your house when relocating only to unpack them again can seem overwhelming. Instead of doing all the work yourself, you can enlist the help of family and friends. If that isn’t an option, or you are too busy, you can hire a moving or packing company to help out.
A packing company will carefully and methodically organize all your items in boxes. They will handle getting boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and all items needed for the move, unless you would like to supply your own. They will wrap everything so it won’t break. They take care of all the tasks that are too onerous for you and your family before your move. Movers can even help you unpack when it’s time.
When should you hire packers?
Hiring movers to pack is certainly easier and much faster than doing it yourself. However, single individuals living in a small apartment might be able to handle the task on their own. On the other hand, getting a moving company to do the work will be worth it if you:
- Live in a house with more than three bedrooms
- Have a large family and/or small children
- Are moving far away from your current location
- Have many valuable/breakable items
- Are too busy with work, family obligations, and arranging the rest of your move
When relocating, chances are your precious items will be joining you. Having a professional do the packing in these instances is vital. You want to ensure your valuables and breakable items are packed well and will not break during the long haul.
Who can you hire to help pack?
You have a few different options when it comes to hiring packers. You can pick local students looking to earn extra cash, but that might not be ideal. They could be unreliable or unprofessional. Enlisting family and friends is another option, but again, that solution might not be practical for everyone.
Otherwise, you can find a local moving company to handle the job. Get recommendations from friends and family, or do a Google search and sift through Yelp reviews to find someone reputable. Oftentimes, these movers will pack all your belongings, load, and move them for you. You might choose to have them unpack your items as well.
You can also work with a company such as GlobalPoint Relocation Services. GlobalPoint is a full-service relocation consulting firm that helps employees transition to a new location. They can assist with hiring the right movers to help you pack and unpack, taking the stress off of your mind.
