Did you know that we offer packing services?
The picture featured on this post shows boxes not packed properly. We know the customer did the best they could with the time constraints we all have. But boxes should be taped both top and bottom. Then they should be labeled with a marker on the box so that we know what box to put it in.
If you find yourself getting close to moving day and just unable to get it all done, give us a call and we can schedule some packers to come out before moving day and finish up the pack. Many times it only takes us a few hours to finish up what you have already started. But since we do it everyday and you don't, it will go much quicker for us.
I see many customers get stuck here. Not knowing where to start first of all. The best way to eat an elephant? One bite at a time. So start with items you won't be using between now and moving day, such as a book shelf.
Also, try to use up the food in the home vs packing it up.
Start going through closets and getting rid of things you know need to go. Donate to a non-profit, sell on social media, recycle, post a "curb alert"
We work with a number of non-profits to donate furniture to those displaced for various reasons. It is very rewarding to watch a family start with nothing and then having beds for the whole family. It really is. We do a lot of work with Youth Build Louisville. As we collect furniture or my friends come across things, we deliver them to those in need.
The hardest part is starting. Start with one box.
If you get short of time, as we all do, give me a call and we can cross the finish line for you! Happy Packing!
HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM? We have an internal process for handling claims. The best thing you can do to protect your interest is to document via writing and photos as much as possible. Keep all packaging etc.
MOVING DURING THE HOLIDAYS Moving during the holidays is never ideal, but life does not take a break for our personal celebrations. While we do not move on Christmas Day, we will accommodate other days as necessary.
There are items that you may need immediately upon arrival at your new home. To keep track of it, we recommend getting a clear tote and putting it in your car. These are things like medications, next day work clothes, remote controls to tvs etc.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SCREWS FROM MY FURNITURE? Many times beds and other furniture items are assembled with screws or other hardware. We recommend that you have some sealable baggies available to put them in and label them per item (kind bed, queen bed, Mary's bed, Tommy's dresser mirror screws) and so forth.
DO WE MOVE HOT TUBS? We do move hot tubs, but much like safes, we need to know all the details at both locations as well as it needs to be disconnected and empty prior to our arrival.
WE DON'T WORK ON THANKSGIVING SO THAT OUR EMPLOYEES CAN ENJOY THEIR TIME WITH THEIR FAMILIES!! ENJOY YOUR FAMILIES!!
DO YOU MOVE SAFES? I get this question a lot. And yes, we do. But we need to know a lot more about the safe than, "it's heavy"!! Make/brand Model Height Weight Depth Stairs at load address? Stairs at unload address? Going over grass at either address? Will it be empty? Does the door come off? Basically I need to know everything about it so that I can plan and have proper resources.
DO YOU MOVE MOTORCYCLES? We can accommodate moving motorcycles both locally and long distance however we need to schedule this appropriately and well in advance.
DO YOU MOVE INTERNATIONALLY? We do not do international moves but we can prepare the items for shipping for you.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY MOVE? We take most methods of payment. If paying with credit or debit, that can be provided to the office the day before. If it is to be invoiced, that needs to be approved in advance. If paying with cash, that will need to be discussed in advance as well.
