Moving is always a bigger task than it seems, and it is always riddled with emotion: excitement and happiness, uncertainty and all the other emotions we can’t name because they are all jumbled up with the physical task of moving. It’s a confusing time; moving is a physical act, but it means change is coming and change brings all kinds of abstract emotions.
Do you know what you need? It’s likely that you don’t because, as we began this blog, moving is always a bigger task than it seems. Always. Here, we will speak practically to you about moving your biggest items (i.e., the things you don’t have boxes for), your furniture, so that you can at least have some professional advice for the physical act of moving, leaving you free to handle the change that is coming your way, hopefully, ultimately finding excitement and happiness amongst the chaos.
Let’s start with traditional moving services. These types of companies offer full load moves for out-of-town shipping. If you have a small amount of furniture, a traditional moving company will blanket wrap it for you and take it to your destination. Blanket wrapping is often cheaper than crating, yet still a safe way to move your furniture. Blanket wrapping is also a great way to move large, heavy, pieces of furniture.
Moving your furniture on a freight truck means that your furniture will be secured to pallets and taken on a freight truck to your destination. Pallets give a firm foundation to the pieces they hold, and are a good tool to use for lots of small pieces of furniture.
