A packing and moving company will load all of your belongings onto the moving truck and then unload them when the truck arrives at your new home. Your full service movers and packers will bring moving blankets, dollies, and anything else needs to safely move your belongings. They will only load items you ask them to load, so be sure to be clear on what you want to be placed on the truck for transport.

It is a good idea to have a plan in mind beforehand so boxes and furniture are place in or near the areas they will ultimately be used.

Transportation

A packing and moving company will come with a truck that is ready to be loaded. Your full service movers and packers will then drive the truck to its final destination. Both long distance and local movers will utilize and drive an insured company truck.

If you plan to utilize temporary storage during your next move, listen up. Our full service movers and packers have some important tips to share. Our previous articles covered how you should not put items you may need to quickly access into storage, the importance of using quality packing supplies, making sure you wash all linens and clothing you plan to store, and how you should not place perishables in storage. Here are two more tips to help you properly prepare and pack your belongings for storage.

MAKE SURE ITEMS ARE DRY

Our full service movers and packers will tell you to make sure you do not pack any items that are damp or wet. This is especially true if they are going to be placed in storage. Dampness promotes moisture buildup which can cause mold, mildew, and foul odors.

PROTECT FRAGILE ITEMS

Fragile items should be protected whether you are making a door-to-door move or placing the items in storage. Our full service movers and packers suggest using plenty of peanuts, bubble wrap, and acid-free paper when packing items that are fragile. You can also use linens to pad your moving boxes. Make sure the boxes are packed tightly to discourage the contents from rubbing up against one another and/or shifting in transit.

3 Guys Moving is proud to be one of the country’s most respected moving companies. Our full service movers and packers are dedicated to easing the stress of our customers and ensuring their satisfaction. And, because we are a moving and storage company, we can offer you safe, secure, climate-controlled storage should you need it.

Preparing Items for Storage

If you find yourself in need of a moving and storage company, this series of articles is for you. Our last article covered some tips on packing your belongings for storage, including the importance of not storing any items you may need to quickly access and why you need to invest in quality packing supplies. Today, we will discuss two more tips to consider when preparing items for storage.

WASH LINENS AND CLOTHING

It is extremely important that you wash any linens and clothing that you plan to place in storage. Dirt, grease, and even oil from your skin can degrade and discolor fabrics. Not to mention the fact that dirty clothes and linens often have foul odors.

DO NOT PACK PERISHABLES

Perishable items are not ideal for storage since they can expire, spoil, and even attract bugs and rodents. Pack them and take them with you to wherever you are staying in the interim. Our movers and packers suggest that if you do this, you should unpack these items as soon as possible once you reach the location of your interim move.

There are times when you may need to engage a moving and storage company to hold your belongings until you are ready to move into your new home. This happens quite often with military moves. Outside of the military, some people hire a moving and storage company when they are faced with having to make an interim move. This can occur when you close on your existing home before you close on your new home. It can also happen when you are in the process of building a new home that is not move-in ready and you have to either stay with a friend or family member or rent a place on a month-to-month basis.

If you are faced with having to hire a moving and storage company to temporarily store your belongings, there are some steps you should take to ensure they are properly prepared and packed for storage. We will explore this in our next series of articles. Let’s get started:

DON’T STORE ITEMS YOU MAY NEED TO ACCESS

If you have specific items that you may need to access before you make your final move, it is recommended that you do not place them in storage. This can include anything from important paperwork and kids’ toys to tools and electronics. Bottom line, if you think you will need it, do not place it in storage.

USE QUALITY PACKING SUPPLIES

Quality packing supplies make all the difference, especially if you plan to place items in storage. Follow the example of our movers and packers who use dependable supplies such as durable boxes, heavy duty tape, bubble wrap, popcorn, and anything else that may be needed to protect the integrity of the contents being packed.

Sometimes people are in the process of building a new home that will not be ready by the time they need to be out of their current home. Or, perhaps they have been re-located for work and have not yet found a permanent place to call home. Whatever the reason, an interim move means you need to find a place to stay for a short period of time. Our next series of articles will discuss some ideas to explore should you be faced with needing to make an interim move. Let’s take a look:

SHORT TERM VACATION RENTAL

There are numerous short term vacation rental options available through online marketplaces such as VRBO and Airbnb. Since they are fully furnished, you don’t have to worry about moving your belongings out of your home and into an interim residence. Your moving and storage company can simply store them for you until you are ready to move to your permanent location.

MONTH-TO-MONTH LEASE

There are some rental homes, condos, and apartments that offer month-to-month leases. You may pay a little more, but you won’t be bound to a long-term contract. This is ideal for people who prefer not to put their belongings in storage because there are usually both furnished and unfurnished options available.
