Blog: Moving Tips

When it comes to moving, there's a lot to do. From finding a new place to live, to changing information, to packing and unpacking. Moving in and of itself is sometimes forgotten about in the whole mess, and the last thing you want to think about is hauling your stuff to a new location.

When it comes to any kind of personal service, people always wonder when it's appropriate to tip. You do tip waiters and delivery drivers but you generally don't tip the cable guy even though he comes to work at your house. You do tip tow-truck drivers but you don't tip your auto mechanics.

Everyone knows that moving can be an incredibly stressful experience no matter how many times you've done it.

You can tell a lot about someone by looking at their possessions. While we all have things like clothes, dishes, shelves, and tables, it's the optional items that are really the best sign of someone's personality and they often the most difficult to move.

For some people, moving is an incredibly personal experience in which you lay your hands on every item you own and carefully wrap it up so it will make the trip to a new home. For others, it's an incredibly impersonal experience involving a simple matter of moving stuff from one place to the next.

If you've ever moved, you know it's a lot of hard work and can be overwhelming. Even moving across town or down the street can be stressful for most people.

Moving is a big project, and part of what can make it seem overwhelming is the cost. No one wants to start the process without understanding how much you'll have to pay, but there is no one-price-fits-all when it comes to moving.

Unfortunately, when people move, they don’t always understand everything involved in the cost and that one of most crucial steps in the relocation process is securing a moving estimate.

Moving is no fun, especially when you're moving across the country to a new city where you know no one. Finding your way to the new job, finding the closest grocery, doctor, schools, churches, bank, dry cleaner and the post office is first on your list of things to do in the new city.
