How I Managed the Office Move: Hiring Movers

Home Movers Are Not Office Movers

Your first impulse when considering movers is to contact the same company that moved your house. But what I quickly found out is that commercial movers are more familiar with moving office equipment and more experienced when it comes to ensuring everything goes where it needs to go in the new office space. Get your quotes from commercial movers and narrow your list down by price, experience, licensing and insurance verification and basically your overall confidence after a face to face meeting.

Get Your Own Moving Supplies- Order Moving Supplies in One Easy Step

All movers will want to upsell you moving supplies. But you can get your own at a much more reasonable price ( always remember your moving budget!) Plus, there are other factors to consider:
  1. Moving boxes are often leased for a move. The moving company will want them back after the move, rushing your unpacking process.
  2. You may want to keep some things in long term storage and you may want to keep those boxes.

Quick Tip: Order All Your Supplies At Once So You Don't Forget Anything.

What To Pack and What Not to Pack

Moving is a very good time to also take stock of what is no longer necessary in the office. Consider obsolete office equipment and decide if it is really worth taking to the new space. Also documents and records that have been sitting in file rooms for ages become heavy and expensive loads to transport to the new location. Review these records and decide which ones are essential and which ones need to be destroyed.

  1. It really is interesting to think about how hiring a moving company can make a difference on the amount of stress that is on your alone. I personally think that it is a great way to ensure that you are also not having to lift everything that is in your house. That is something that is the most frustrating part of moving I feel. That knowledge that you still have to do the entire upstairs after you just cleaned out the downstairs. Thank you for sharing. http://www.affordablechicago.com/chicago-commercial-movers.aspx
