​Moving day. Ugh. We often dread the words. Time to pack up everything we own, and everything we forgot we owned 10 years ago, and haul it somewhere. Then, when we’ve arrived at our destination, we have to unpack it all. The process can be so daunting that after moving to a new house, we usually leave packed boxes lying around for months. I’ve got news for you, if you’ve still got your TV in a box when you throw your house warming party, your house isn’t “warm” yet.

There are a lot of so-called “movers” out there, so it’s important to do your research. Too many times people have hired what they believe were professionals, only to discover the movers they trusted with all of their prized possessions, were a fly-by-night moving operation.

There’s a lot to consider when changing addresses. Our moving professionals will take the guesswork out of it, and do the heavy lifting. Local moving is vastly different from long distance moving. They both have their own unique challenges. They also vary wildly in terms of cost, and time. Let’s take a look at the things you NEED to know before moving.

Local Moving

You’re moving, but you’re only moving across town. Should be easy, right? Well, if you don’t hire the right local moving companies, you might be in for a surprise. There are countless factors that play into a move, so it’s important to hire someone like Baltimore Moving Company. They’ve got the experience to get it right.
 
 Firstly, you’ll want to know EXACTLY how much your move is going to cost. A company that doesn’t offer a precise estimate is leaving the door open for hidden fees. These can add up, throwing your budget right out the window. This is a dishonest practice, and should be discouraged. The agreed upon budget should stay exactly as it was
.
 Secondly, have a checklist. The day of the move can be a little chaotic. Whoever you hire, or even if you’re self-moving, you’ll want to make sure nothing gets lost in the shuffle. This takes a little prior planning. Go through your house, make a checklist of all of the things you want moved. Then, when everything is being put in the truck, you can check them off one by one. This ensures nothing is left behind. Once your things have arrived at their destination, check them off once again to double check. Once the job is done, if there aren’t two check marks beside the item, you may have missed something. Having said that, your moving company should be professional and thorough, leaving no stone unturned to ensure perfection.

Here’s another pro-tip: declutter your house FIRST. Let’s face it, we’ve all got piles of junk stored somewhere in our house. It’s that room that stays locked when guests are over. With the invention of Amazon Prime, the amount of stuff in these rooms has grown exponentially. Before moving, it’s time to decide what you actually NEED. Decluttering, throwing things away, or donating extra clothes are all fantastic ways to save you money on your move. It’s also just a good habit to get into in general! Marie Kondo, anyone?

Expert local moving companies like Baltimore Moving Company will make your big day big on excitement and fun, not big on headaches and stress. Hire the best!

Proper planning is the key to a successful long haul move. The second you know you’re moving, it’s time to start planning. There are a lot of factors to consider, so giving yourself ample time to prepare is always the best choice.

Remember your schedule, and things you’ll need when you get there. Things like setting up utilities, registering for schools, making sure your internet is hooked up. You’ll want to have all of those done beforehand, so that once you’ve landed in your new home, all you’ve got to worry about is the unpacking.

Make sure you’re getting a few moving estimates. You’ll want to get the best price, of course, but the best price may not include all of the services you need. Also, you want to be trusting your possessions to professional long distance moving companies. Ensure that the estimate you are receiving is precise, and that there will be no hidden fees on the back end. Long distance moving can be costly, don’t make it pricier than it has to be. The beauty of Baltimore Moving Company is you’re getting top quality service, at an incredible price. Our estimates are always precise, so there are no surprises.

Moving insurance. In some cases, it may not be necessary, in others it’s absolutely paramount. Find out what kind of insurance your long haul movers have, and ensure you’re completely covered.

Downsizing and decluttering is HUGE when it comes to long distance moving. Extra stuff equals extra cost. Go through your house, find that room where you store all of your junk. Find out what you actually need, and what can easily be discarded. Have a garage or moving sale. Donate some of your stuff to local charities. There are a million ways to do it, just make sure before moving, that you actually do it. It’ll save you time and money in the end.

If you’re looking to cut costs, try moving in the winter. Most people move in the summer, and therefore this is the “busy” season. Costs are higher, and movers are busier. Decide if it’s possible to move in the off-season. If so, you could be saving yourself a bundle of money.

Having a checklist in a long distance move is absolutely necessary. Once you’ve packed up and left, there’s often no opportunity to go back and retrieve anything you may have left behind. Double check, triple check, quadruple check that checklist, and then when you’ve arrived, check again.

We all want to save money. However, when moving, it’s important to hire the professionals. They’ve seen it all, and done it all, and they’ve likely got reviews and a reputation to uphold. We can’t stress this enough: hire professional movers like Baltimore Moving Company.

Movers generally call a move that is 100 miles or less a “local” move. Anything higher than that is considered a long distance move.

Calculating the cost of a short haul move is a little simpler, because it’s a simpler process.

There is a base cost, and then additional costs as required.

Simple put, the cost of a moving company is approximately $100-$150 per hour. This is for a basic move. As the complexity of the move increases, additional costs have to be factored in.

Will the company require an additional mover? This is an extra. Are there specialty items that require extra care? This is also extra. There are general stair climbing and truck fees to consider as well. A qualified and professional moving operation will give you a no BS estimate for your move, right out of the gate. This allows you to properly budget, and avoid any hidden costs.

Long haul moves have their own set of circumstances. It’s obvious that long haul moves have their own challenges, and these challenges come with their own costs.
Considering the sheer distance of the move is the first step to pricing your move. Long distance moves are generally priced by the weight, and the distance of the move. Then, things like scale fees, unpacking/packing fees, and storage fees have to be factored in.
