SHORT DISTANCE MOVING

Moving short distance, a breeze? Not so sure ! Depending on the specifics of your move, the short distance move, also called local move, can be more or less complicated. And unlike beliefs, the use of professional movers is rarely superfluous. What are these features? What factors affect the price of a short-distance move?

WHAT IS A SHORT DISTANCE FOR A MOVING?

When is a short-distance move considered? In general, the distance traveled between the departure address and the arrival address must be less than 50 km.

But, whether the distance is 100m or 50km, it does not infer the rate of the move. The move remains considered local. The short-distance move can therefore concern a move in the same building, the same street as a move from one end of a town to another.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST ?

The price of a short distance move will vary according to the specifics of your move. As we have explained, distance does not play an important role in a local move.

The first factor to consider is the volume of the move. A higher volume of goods to be moved requires the presence of additional movers, which will have an upward impact on the price of the moving quote.

Especially if access is difficult. This is the second variable to consider. Depending on the floor where you live, the presence of an elevator or not, the carrying distance, the cost will be more or less high.

The third point to take into consideration is the relocation option you choose. The more you move up the line, the more movers will spend time on your move. It goes without saying that a complete service will be more expensive than a transport or economic service.

SHORT REMOTE DEVELOPMENT: WHY APPEAL FOR MOVERS?

A short distance move seems, at first sight, easy to achieve. But some conditions require the presence of professional movers so that everything goes well.

Difficult access conditions must also alert you to the need for a moving company. Passing a sofa or a refrigerator in a narrow stairwell is a job! In addition, difficult access may require the use of a furniture lift, which the movers will use.

There is also the presence of furniture considered heavy weights (refrigerator, safe, piano …), or fragile furniture. Instead, rely on professionals instead of moving them yourself at the risk of damaging them or even hurting yourself.

PREPARING THE DISPLACEMENT OF ITS PARENTS

OUR ADVICES

After a certain age, it is unfortunately difficult for the elderly to have to move. Whether it is for a specialized institution (nursing home, retirement home) or for a new, more suitable apartment, it’s never easy to organize a parent’s move: not only do you have to convince them first. The move will make life easier for them, but they will have to succeed in having them sort out their belongings.

TAKE THIS FOREWORD

In order not to rush your parents, we advise you to propose to them the idea of ​​the move as soon as possible by letting them participate in the decision-making process. This will help you to convince them and prepare the move in good conditions.

Look for accommodation that will allow them to keep their autonomy: elevator, shops and services nearby … You can, for example, show them the neighborhood via StreetView (see Google Maps) to avoid visits. The ideal is to find a flat close to yours if needed, which will reassure them and, in some cases, depending on the degree of autonomy, you will avoid having a full-time person.

FIND WHAT WE MUST DO

When an older person moves, it is in most cases to move into a smaller dwelling. It will therefore be necessary to sort because all the furniture will not be able to enter the new apartment. Making sure that older parents understand they have to separate from their lives is not an easy task.

To retrieve items that can not be moved, you have several solutions:

If the furniture is old and of poor quality, you can let them serve the voluminous of your city (free in general, rocking the furniture on the sidewalk)
If you have space at home or at home, you can retrieve the furniture
Alternatively, you can also opt for storage in a gentle storage.

FIND A GRAVE REMOVE

To move your parents, we advise you to favor a quality engine. The move of an elderly person is already a real test, so much so that it happens correctly. To find the best value for money, do not hesitate to ask for our moving services. Say: 438-989-8639

3 GOOD RESOLUTIONS FOR YOUR
MOVING a montreal EN 2017

OUR ADVICES

1) Plan your move in advance

Do not wait until the last moment to start your mover search. The more you wait, the more difficult it will be to find an available mover that is both qualified and at an attractive price to carry out your removal. We advise you to start the procedure at least 1 month before the planned date of your move.

There are periods of very strong demand during which the prices of movers can soar. And this is all the more true if you want to move on a Saturday at the end or beginning of the month.

On the other hand, you should know that in most cities you need a parking permit for the moving truck, and obtaining this authorization sometimes takes time.

2) CHOOSE A RELIABLE MOVING AND NOT CHEAP

For your move in 2017, you have decided to move on and apply for a professional mover. This is the first time that you have to ask for moving quotes. Be careful !

Act as an informed consumer: a move with a professional can not be cheaper than with your friends …

You will get rates that range from single to triple. To avoid getting caught and paying the right price, make sure that the company is reliable, and do not hesitate to put a few hundred extra dolars, you will not regret it.

3) USE SOLID CARTONS

Economy is good, but it has its limits! Moving boxes that have already been used two, three times may not be able to resist a new move. Similarly, cartons that you can find in the markets are not made for a move.

And for a stressful event like moving, it’s better to prevent than to cure! To end up with cartons exploded on D-Day is not very pleasant. So this time, invest in new boxes! Déménagement Montreal offer you free delivery to your home, so enjoy!
