Consider This before Requesting A Free Quote from a National Moving Company

Life is known for its unpredictability. Anything can change in the blink of an eye. Sometimes it is a conscious decision on our part, other times it is circumstances or opportunities that spring a surprise on us that we cannot avoid or do not want to miss out on. Some of these changes require us to not only move out of our comfort zones but also out of our current environment. If you find yourself in a position where you need to move across South Africa, make sure this transition is as smooth as possible by getting a free quote from a reputable national moving company. Not only do they have the necessary expertise and infrastructure to take care of the logistics but it will also take a lot of pressure and stress off you.

Now, before you rush out to get a free national moving quote, you should also realise that relocating takes much more than a couple of boxes and a truck and not all removal companies offer an equally comprehensive service. While getting a free quote from a national moving company is easy enough, pay careful attention to see if the following services are included in their offering:

 

Do they assist with planning beforehand and to what extent?

The secret to a hassle-free move (and avoiding pitfalls and challenges along the way), is proper planning. Because they deal with it daily, experienced national moving companies will be able to approach this step correctly. In fact, a professional company should have a checklist on hand to help you cover all the necessary aspects of your move in the most logical way. Make sure your free quote includes this service for a smooth process and greater peace of mind.

 

Do they offer an actual packing service?

For many people, the process of packing all their possessions can be more stressful than the actual move. It would be quick and easy if you could simply chuck everything into the nearest box and go. However, this part of the process requires sorting, the wrapping of fragile and breakable items, and careful packing to ensure that the items are both safe and grouped together in practical and logical ways. Does the national moving company you are considering offer this service? And is it included in your free quote?

 

Do they have a solution for your pets?

Pets are members of the family and they need the right care. Relocating can be very stressful for pets, so extra care needs to be taken to keep them safe and comfortable during this process. Check whether the service provider of your choice assists with the national moving of pets and, if so, ask for his service to be included in your free quote for easy comparison, so that you can make the best decision for your pets.

 

Can they handle the move of special items, such as cars and fine art?

Not every item goes in a box and on the back of a truck. Valuable fine art, for example, needs special care and packing, since the tiniest dent or scratch can affect its value. Does the free quote for your relocation include specialised packing services if needed? How about your vehicles? Are you planning on driving them across the country or do you need them to be transported and delivered to your new home?

 

What happens when you get to your destination?

Getting your stuff to your destination is only half the battle. Now what? There are usually so many little things that need to be done before you get to settle down properly. Instead of dropping you off and leaving you, a quality national moving company should help you settle, providing you with information on schools and the community, providing a handyman for all those household fixes that need to happen, and perhaps even a valet service if you need it.
