The process of moving can often feel overwhelming. One way to mitigate some of the stress involved in moving is hiring professional movers to handle the packing and unpacking for you. Even if they aren’t actually moving your belongings to your new home, professional assistance with packing can be a huge help.
We’ve Got The Moves (And By The We Mean, Experiences From Many Many Moves)
First and foremost, well-trained professional movers (like your friends at Little Guys Movers in Greensboro!) possess extensive expertise and experience. This directly translates to them having the skills to significantly reduce the risks associated with packing and transporting your possessions. They know how to pack fragile items in order to protect them, and their training equips them with various techniques for packing items efficiently, allowing them to maximize space and minimize damage.
In a case where you’ve hired professional help for packing AND loading, professional movers also understand the correct techniques for moving heavy furniture and awkwardly shaped objects. That knowledge and experience help ensure that everything arrives at your new home intact.
Time, Your Greatest Resource
Another reason for hiring professionals to help with packing is the very real and valuable time savings it provides. Packing can be incredibly time-consuming, often taking days or weeks to complete, but trained professionals can pack with much greater efficiency than DIY movers. By delegating this responsibility, you free up some time to focus on other important aspects of the moving process, such as notifying the post office about your change of address, managing your utility setup, or simply taking a moment to breathe.
We’ve Got The Good Stuff
One distinct advantage of hiring professional movers to help you pack is that they typically provide high-quality packing materials (boxes, bubble wrap, tape, and other items). They will obviously know how to use these materials to their greatest effect, and having it packaged as part of hiring the services also means you no longer have to engage in the guesswork of determining what supplies you’ll need for your move. (Trust us, they’ll know what you need.)
We mentioned this up top, but it bears repeating: stress reduction is another significant benefit of hiring out parts of your move to professionals. Moving is one of life’s most stressful events. Entrusting your packing to experienced movers alleviates a fairly significant logistical and labor burden for you and your family, and it also has the positive side of certainty: if the pros are taking care of the packing, that’s several layers of uncertainty you no longer have to deal with.
Pack → Unpack, Load → Unload
Lastly, professional movers can often assist with unpacking, too, helping you settle into your new space quickly and efficiently. This can help you avoid a loss of momentum in unpacking and getting set up in the new house.
Hiring professional movers for packing and unpacking — or even loading and unloading — provides an excellent mix of efficiency, poise, and expertise that can transform a potentially stressful time into a smooth and enjoyable experience.
