Here are some common myths about moving, debunked!
Myth #1- You Don’t Need Moving Boxes!
Truth: Most people will advise you to get free second-hand cardboard boxes from nearby provision stores. And it is an excellent tip until you are packing heavy or fragile items. Most used cartons lose their structural integrity after the first use and tear down with new weight. Moving boxes are more durable. They can hold weight and keep your fragile items secure.
Myth #2- You Don’t Need Any Planning!
Truth: You must have heard that moves can be stressful. But this is not always true. Moving without proper planning and preparation causes confusion and unrequired tension. It is imperative to schedule your entire shifting process from the day you talk to your moving company and until you have completely moved into your new place.
Myth #3- Don’t Pay the Movers Until Unpacking is Finished!
Truth: The primary objective of your mover is to get your items to the destination. Most movers want you to pay once they reach your destination. You can further clarify payment specifications with your movers. But in any case, you shouldn’t pay the full amount in advance.
Myth #4- You Don’t Need Insurance!
Truth: Insurance is a way to keep your articles safe even if they get damaged or lost. Sure the money will only cover some of the item’s value and not restore them, but it is better to get some money in case of damages. Getting your items insured is an excellent choice, especially with long-distance moves.
Myth #5- Your Insurance Will Cover All Damages!
Truth: Moving valuation insurances only cover a part of your items’ value. Choose a full-value protection plan if you want complete coverage. It is crucial to let your movers know about your inventory. Some precious articles, like jewelry and cash, cannot be transported in the regular moving process.
Myth #6- Articles Will Mostly Get Damaged After the Move.
Truth: You may have heard people say their articles were damaged when they started unpacking. You cannot undo accidents, but believing that every move results in damages is just wrong. Reliable, professional movers are very careful to ensure the safety of your items and most often, do just that!
Myth #7- All Moving Companies Charge Additional Fees After the Shift!
Truth: This is not true if you are hiring a quality mover. Experienced moving companies will be transparent about all the charges and mention them in the contract. You only need to pay those fees and nothing additional.
