We all hire packers and movers movers for most of the moves. Whether you’re moving to a different state, or shipping your goods to resellers, a verified moving company is required. A company that will pack and move your goods effectively and deliver with care.
There’s a specific term for movers that offer moves across the state or borders, they’re often called intrastate movers or long distance movers. So we can call a move to be an intrastate only when it involves relocation to a different state.
The strategy on which professional movers work may vary but they adopt a similar process when it comes to packing up for a long move.
Let’s talk about how movers work:
How a mover works depend on the type of move you’re looking for. The goods type and other factors like weight, fragility and volume decide how a mover will proceed. Here are a few steps that most of the movers follow:
Step #1. Inspection
First things first, whenever you call a
professional moving broker
or company, they will ask for your address and an agent will arrive the present day or the next day. He’ll inspect the goods you wanna move, measure the volume, and ask for destination. He might ask details about the move type which depends on the durability of your goods. You can ask for the safest move type which will require more time to avoid any risk considering the fragility.
The agent will come up with a moving quote
on spot or after a few hours of inspection after getting back to his office.
Step #2. Packing
After inspection, they’ll send you a quote and if you agree, their packing crew will arrive. Their arrival depends on their pending move orders, but as soon as their crew arrives, they’ll pack stuff effectively to get it ready for loading. You can opt to not have packers and movers and just do loading and unloading or just relocation and no packing as well.
Step #3. Loading
After packing, loading is what movers do. They’ve got loading equipment to lift your stuff and load into the trucks safely.
Step #4. Transit
Transit is the crucial part of long distance moves. It involves driving your cargo from point A (your current destination) to point B (your desired destination). Most companies have insured moving equipment to protect your goods from damage. Transit may take time depending on the goods type. If the goods are fragile, it can take more than usual. However, for regular stuff that doesn’t need much care, it takes time similar to normal journeys.
Step #5. Unloading
Similar to loading, unloading is done carefully through machines and manpower. A professionally trained crew unloads the stuff on the right place with care.
Step #6. Unpacking
This step involves the unpacking of your belongings and saves you the hassle of putting everything away alone. Although it can be done alone but keeping the stuff in the right way is still a concern.
Step #7. Installation
If you’ve got electronics or appliances delivered, the movers team would help you in installation which will eventually solve your money and time in the long run.
That’s it!
This 7-step strategy is what all professional interstate companies follow. However, any other procedure may be added depending on the varied situations. After all, this is the basic principle or phenomenon to make a perfect move!
