Now that the end of summer is approaching, it may be time to schedule a small move. You may be moving your student to college, or it may be time to downsize your own home. Before you move, consider shipping or moving the furniture that you no longer need to other family members. Sometimes it is a senior who contemplates moving into Assisted Living, or just moving into a smaller apartment.
We have some recommendations to make your small move easier:
• Look for a mover that does not have a minimum dollar or weight requirement.
• Ask if your items can be either freighted or moved on a truck with white glove delivery. Look for shipping companies that want to work small apartment moves are able to accommodate a small move.
• One size fits all pricing is not fair for someone who is not moving a house full of items.
These are a few things to consider when planning a small move.
If you are moving out of town, try to plan the move ahead of time. If your parent needs their bedroom suite by a certain date, back up your planning that you allow enough time for shipping and delivery if it is an out of town move.
If you are moving into an apartment, ask for the times and dates that the elevators are available for your move.
If you need help packing or unpacking book a moving company that is willing to help at the pick up and delivery end. Ask if they are willing to haul off the moving boxes and reuse or recycle the boxes and packing materials.
Remember that if you are moving small amounts of furniture to another city you can use freight shipping. There are options when you move out of town.
Even when you ship your household goods via freight, you can request inside white glove delivery. As a way to save money, you can also request curbside delivery with the recipient unloading the pallet and bringing it inside of their residence. This will usually save on moving charges.
