If you're moving, you may be stressed just thinking about it.  There are so many things that you have to consider--especially if you're moving from one city to another city and preparing to ship your furniture and other items.  You can use a traditional moving company; but there are also a number of benefits to using a company that will ship your furntiure and house hold goods via freight, especially one that offers inside pickup and delivery.  

You can ship a single piece of furniture or an entire house full of furniture.

 

Inside pickup and delivery is a white glove service. There are multiple options out there. You need to find the option that fits your needs and budget the best.  While shipping companies traditionally   offer curbside service--that is, they drop off your items outside your home at a predetermined time, and you are responsible for moving them inside, unpacking them, and disposing of the shipping materials, this may not be the best transport option for you to use.   Choosing a freight preparation or moving company that offers  inside delivery can save you a lot of headaches--or at least take a little bit of the stress off of your shoulders.  

For example:

  • Large items that are moved through freight shipping can be very heavy, and often, getting them into the house is the hardest part of the move.  By having a freight receiving company provide this service for you, you're removing one more step from your list of things that you have to accomplish.

  • Disposing of packing materials can be a real challenge--especially supplies that include pallets and a great deal bulky packing material.  Why not have the company move the packing supplies right out the door for you?  Not only is it a weight off your mind, but often, the company can reuse materials like pallets, so it's keeping them from being wasted.

  • Your items will be inspected on the spot, once they're already in your house, so that you know that they have arrived safely.

  • You know exactly when your furniture and other important items will be arriving, and they come straight into the house--no worries that they'll be left sitting outside if you miss the delivery or write down the delivery time wrong.  

    Moving can be a real headache; but a good shipping company can make it easier for you.  They'll be able to help you handle packing and freight your furniture so that when it reaches its destination, all you have to do is unpack it again, streamlining the process and making your life just a little bit easier.
