Consider Valuables and Insurance

Label these boxes accordingly and communicate any special handling requirements to ensure your fragile possessions arrive safely at your new home.

Your full service moving company may offer additional insurance to protect your belongings during the move. Be sure you understand the coverage provided. When you engage 3 Guys Moving, we will take extra precautions to protect your valuables and all of your precious belongings.

When it comes to running a successful business, every detail matters. From marketing strategies to efficient supply chains, businesses are continuously striving for improvement. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is the importance of streamlined logistics. Whether you’re relocating to a new office or expanding your operations, hiring a professional corporate moving company can be a game-changer for your business.

Understanding Your Business Needs

Before diving into the process of hiring a corporate moving company, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of your business needs. Start by identifying the scope of your move. Assess the size and volume of goods that need to be transported. Are there any fragile items or special handling requirements? Creating a detailed inventory will help you categorize your goods based on packing materials, priority, and storage needs. This inventory will also ensure you don’t leave anything behind or experience delays during the move.

How Does Fall / Autumn Look for Moving?

in Featured, Local Moves, Long Distance Moves

We have been taking a deep dive into different times of year to move. We’ve discuss moving in the spring and summer in our previous articles. Today, we will look at the benefits of moving during the fall/autumn season.

Fall: Harvesting Savings and Serenity

As the temperature begins to drop, fall unveils its own set of advantages for those looking to make a move. As the summer frenzy subsides, fall offers a more relaxed and cost-effective environment for moving. The demand for rental properties usually decreases, resulting in increased availability and potentially better deals for tenants. Moving companies such as 3 Guys Moving may offer attractive off-peak discounts during this time, allowing you to save some precious pennies.

The fall season brings forth a unique charm, especially when it comes to the housing market. As some families settle down for the school year, new listings emerge, and unique housing opportunities become available. Take advantage of this transitional period to explore your options and potentially find the perfect home that meets all your needs.

3 Guys Moving is proud to be the preferred full service moving company serving clients throughout Tampa Bay and beyond. We have been in business for more than three decades and in addition to our moving services, we have a 23,000 square foot climate controlled warehouse that is also an approved storage facility for the U.S. military. Our long distance movers, local movers, and piano movers are among the most experienced in the business.

Are Summer Moves a Good Idea?

in Local Moves, Long Distance Moves

We are continuing our series of articles discussing different times of the year to conduct a move. We discussed spring moves in our previous article. Today, we will explore moving during the summer.

Summer: Sunshine and Strategic Planning

Ah, summer! The season of vacations and outdoor adventures. This is also the busiest time of the year for moving. While it may seem counterintuitive to join the moving frenzy during this time, strategic planning can make it a worthwhile endeavor.

Summer is traditionally the most popular time to move, particularly for families and students since schools are on summer break and it’s easier for families to make the transition without disrupting their children’s education. As a result, the rental market becomes very active, offering an abundance of choices for prospective tenants.

Moving during the summer requires careful planning to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. Since there is generally an increased demand for moving services, it’s essential to book your preferred moving company well in advance. Consider the busiest moving days, typically weekends and the beginning and end of the month, and try to avoid them to secure better availability and potentially lower rates. Beat the summer heat by organizing your move early in the morning or late in the evening, and keep everyone hydrated during the moving process.

A house is a building, but a home is a place of warmth, comfort, and contentment. At 3 Guys Moving, our long distance and local movers and packers understand that your “home” is more than a foundation, drywall, roof, and stucco. Our goal as your full service moving company is to make your transition into your new home as exciting, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible. If you are in the process of searching for a new “home”, this next series of articles is for you. We will be discussing some of the aspects that help make a house become a home.

Location

Location, location, location! You’ve heard this referenced before and it is very true, location does matter. It is important to decide what aspects you value to ensure your family feels at home. Do you like being near the beach? Close proximity to shopping? Living out in the country? Being centrally located in the middle of a big city? Living in an area with professional sports teams? Make a list of the attributes you and your family consider important, then narrow down your potential move to areas that meet this criteria.

Proximity to Family & Friends

Being in close proximity to family and friends is important to some people, especially those who enjoy entertaining. If you have an elderly loved one, that could also factor into your decision of where to move.

3 Guys Moving is a full service moving company that has been helping people move into new homes for more than three decades. Our long distance and local movers also handle commercial moves as well.

What Does This Mean? Defining Moving Terms

in Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Military Moves, Moving & Storage

We are continuing our series of articles defining some of the most common moving terms used by movers and packers. Our previous article covered the bill of lading, which is another name for your receipt. We also defined inventory as a descriptive, itemized list of the household goods your long distance or local movers will be handling. And we discussed that a high value article was any item valued at more than $100 per pound. Let’s define a few more moving terms:

ORDER FOR SERVICE

The order for service is the final document that authorizes your full service moving company to transport your household goods to a designated location, which could be your new home, a storage facility, or somewhere else as authorized by you.

STORAGE-IN-TRANSIT (SIT)

Storage-in-transit is a term your moving and storage company uses to refer to the temporary storage facility where your household goods are being transported for an interim move. SIT is used quite often in military moves, and also in moves where someone is moving to a temporary location while they wait to close on another home.

VALUATION

This is essentially the value of your entire shipment of household goods. Your moving and storage company will assign a monetary value to the household goods they are transporting.

Consider These Tips Before You Move

in Moving & Storage, Corporate Moves, Local Moves, Long Distance Moves

Our long distance and local movers and packers are experts when it comes to anything related to moving. One of the areas we are especially knowledgeable in is how to properly prepare for a move. There are several things you can do that can help you avoid some common pitfalls and problems that people encounter when they move. Our next series of article will explore this in more detail. Let’s get started:

MEASURE YOUR NEW RESIDENCE

Looks can be deceiving. You should take time to properly measure each of the rooms and clearance space in your new residence before deciding what furniture you want your packing and moving company to move. Not only do you want to make sure the furniture you bring fits in your home, but you also want to ensure it will fit through a door and around any corners. If it can’t fit through the front door or is too to get around a certain corner, then you may need to consider selling or donating it.

GET RID OF ITEMS YOU DON’T NEED

If you don’t need it and are not going to use it in your new home, you certainly don’t want to pay for your packing and moving company to move it. Now is the perfect time to get rid of it. It can even be refreshing to sell or discard old items and start anew.

Our next article will cover more tips from our long distance and local movers and packers.

Should It Stay Or Should It Go?

in Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Moving & Storage, Piano Movers

Moving is the perfect time to purge old items and start fresh. However, this is easier said than done. Many people have a difficult time parting with the items they own. Our movers and packers often see people who go to the expense of moving an item then deciding whether to keep it. This ends up costing extra money and time. Our next series of articles will discuss some strategies to determine whether an item should stay or go.

IS IT STILL FUNCTIONAL?

This is a question to consider for any items you wish to keep, especially furniture. If you have really nice, high quality furniture that is in excellent condition and still functional, it may be worth keeping. Some new furniture today is of inferior quality when compared to that of yesteryear. However, if the items are worn, beat up, and in need of repair, it may be worth selling, donating, or throwing away. This also applies to electronics, kitchenware, and any other items you are considering to take with you. If it does not function properly, it is probably not worth keeping.

DO YOU STILL HAVE A USE FOR IT?

When you begin organizing and inventorying items for your move, you will likely come across things in the backs of closets and bottoms of drawers that you honestly forgot even existed. When you do, carefully think about each item and try to determine if you still have a use for it. If you haven’t made your own butter in years, then you may want to consider parting with that butter churner.

Our next article will cover more strategies to determine whether to take an item with you when you move.

Could It Be Time To Move?

in Local Moves, Long Distance Moves, Moving & Storage, Piano Movers

We are continuing our series discussing indications that it may be time to make a change and move. Our previous article covered how feeling cramped, having too much empty space, and cost increases could point to the need to move sometime in the near future. Here are some additional indicators that you many soon need to call a moving and storage company.

OUT OF WORK

If you find yourself out of work and unable to find a job to support your standard of living, then it may be time to consider moving to a different area where you can find good paying work in your field. If you absolutely love the area, you may need to consider taking whatever job you can and moving into a less expensive home.

NO SUPPORT SYSTEM

It is important to have a strong support system. When offered a job far away from their family and/or friends, most people are so excited that they may not realize what they could be losing. If you were accustomed to hanging out with friends every weekend or having Sunday dinner with your family and are now finding yourself feeling bummed out and staying at home a lot, it may be time to consider moving somewhere closer to the people who mean the most in your life.

TIME FOR CHANGE

Sometimes we just get into a rut and feel the urge for change. If you feel like you could use a change, then it may be time to start looking around to see where you might want to settle next.

We also discussed how a moving and storage company like 3 Guys Moving offers storage options for interim moves. We then talked about how movers and packers can pack your belongings, load them onto the truck, transport them to your desired location and unload them. Today, we will look at three more advantages of utilizing a moving and storage company.

UNPACK

Unpacking after a move can be a daunting task. Many people are unaware that movers and packers can take this burden of off them. Just let them know where everything goes and they will take care of it!

SET-UP
