One of the most difficult parts of moving is packing up everything you own. The good news is that packing companies in Houston or other cities can help make it easier. The bad news is it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right one.
Your search for the perfect company should start with an online search. Use search terms that are specific to your situation such as "moving an antique dining room set" or "shipping crystal glasses." Once your search has given you some options, set aside time to make a list of questions to ask before deciding on a specific company.
Here are some questions to start with:
- How long have your been in business? While longevity is not necessarily the only benchmark of quality, a company that has been in business for several years does have an established history that you can verify.
- What types of packing materials do they use? The company's representative should be able to offer you specifics regarding the way your items will be packed?
- How do they handle specialty items? Whether it’s a high value antique or just something that means a lot to you personally, ask them how specialty items are packaged, including crates for over-sized or odd-sized objects.
- Does the company handle unpacking as well?
- Does the company move your items or arrange freight services?
- What is the most interesting thing they have packed over the years? Companies that take pride in their work often have fun stories about what they have accomplished. This also offers you some insight into their personalities and the pride they take in a job well done.
