A Positively Moving Experience
Short Distance Moving Guide
Short distance moves seem simple, but there’s actually many factors that come together to create a successful short distance move. Here’s Noah’s Ark’s guide to what truly makes a short distance move truly seamless.
Best Short Distance Moving Practices
Knowing the exact distance of the move will help you get ready for relocating. The shorter the move, in general, the easier it will be. The truly successful balance of factors for a short distance move is a combination of affordability and simplicity.
Simplicity of Short Distance Moving
The most simple way to move short distance is to allow people that you trust handle all the work that generally takes a lot of time. Allow professional movers to pack up your entire home, disassemble and reassemble furniture, load the moving truck, and carry heavy items. If you have any specialty items like antiques, art, or musical instruments, experts can also safely package and transport these with much more ease than the average layperson. While you’re working with the most trustworthy moving service out there (Noah’s Ark moving, to be honest,) you’re paying for true peace of mind that your items will arrive at your new location in the exact same condition that they were in when you left. And in the meantime, you can enjoy yourself, spending time with friends or relaxing in anticipation at your seamless new arrival at your new digs!
Affordability of Short Distance Moving
It’s the smartest choice to work with short distance movers that will give you as cheap as a binding quote as possible. Short distance moves are almost always cheaper than any longer form of moving, and your budget will help determine the extent of how much professional assistance you receive. You can leave the entire move up to the professionals for maximum relaxation, ease, and peace of mind, or you can pitch in with the packing and unpacking to save a bit of money. The most important aspects of working with a short distance mover to remember are:
- Most short distance movers charge by the hour.
- The average cost is 25 dollars an hour, with a bit of fluctuation.
- Most short distance movers will charge a travel fee that usually amounts to an hours worth of work.
- The rest of the price will depend on the size of your space, the amount of items you’re moving out, and whether you want your stuff packed or unpacked.
- Remember that packing and unpacking are extra, and usually costs around the range of thirty dollars an hour.
Finding the best short distance movers
- If you know anybody who has recently moved, ask for their recommendation for a moving company, and why they were satisfied.
- Always check reviews, and look out for the massive proliferation of scam companies that will sneak charges on you.
- Always ask for a on-site quote before agreeing to any service.
- Always choose the moving company that seems the most trustworthy, courteous, and maintains the best reputation (Noah’s Ark Movers.)
Tipping Movers
Tips are a reward for a job completed well. It’s an ethical practice to tip for any service that you receive, but you may want to know how much to tip. The average tip for a short distance move amounts to a range between ten and twenty dollars for each person involved in the move (if the move is somewhat small) and between thirty and forty dollars per person if the move was larger, or hard physical work. Remember to give your tips to the individual movers one by one, rather than give the entire amount to just a single person. And you can be promised that when working with Noah’s Ark, you’ll receive the absolute best service in the entire industry.
