Myths About Moving Companies We Need to Bust

Any business that provides a service is constantly subjected to mistrust. This is because the service industry thrives on human interaction, and it is our first instinct to doubt and question any new service experience.

These doubts and misgivings soon breed baseless myths. So today, we will be busting a few myths about moving companies.

DIY is cheaper

In rare cases, all your belongings might fit in a few boxes and aren’t valuable or fragile. Then, you can pack and move yourself using your car or a cab.

A moving company can perfectly estimate the amount of space and raw materials your belongings will need. This ensures minimal wastage of packing materials, and an ideal moving van is used to pack everything efficiently.

If you try to do it independently, there is a good chance you will waste a lot of packing material, and you might even need to make multiple trips in your car, which ultimately costs more than hiring professionals.

Another way people experience loss is when valuables are not packed correctly and secured during the move. Moving companies have special equipment to stop this from happening, and most of the liability is taken by the movers in case of an accident.

There are no limits

It is a misconception that movers will transport anything. Not all moving companies will transport long distances or heavy-duty items. Based on the company’s expertise and network, the limits of a move are decided.

Any moving company will deny a few items if they are considered dangerous or wrapped up in legal complications. Here are a few examples.

Firearms
Flammable items like petrol or kerosine
Pets
Precious items covered in red tape
Injurious substances like lead paint and industrial chemicals.

Packing and moving are all about logistics and preparation. If there is a sliver of doubt in your mind, do not hesitate and consider professional help.
