Organising your removal can be a time consuming and stressful time.
Continuing with your job whilst fitting in what you can around this is a nightmare if not done properly.
You either have to arrange removal quotes while you are at work, which lets face it is not the easiest thing to do as you don't always have access to directories or the internet at work Even if you do have access sometimes you are not allowed to undertake private matters. Or you have to do it in the evenings which is equally as difficult because there aren't many companies that work the anti-social hours.
Your only option is in your lunch hour if you are a full time worker.
Then there is the arduous task of speaking to each company giving the same info over and again.
It can be a painstaking task but a necessary one nevertheless as you want to find a company that a) fits your budget and b)is reputable!
i found the bestway to achieve this is by visiting this company http://www.easy-removal.co.uk
All you have to do is go to their fill out form, put in your details and click submit. You can even say when you would like to be contacted along with your preferred method of contact.
There are no limitations on the amount of companies that can contact you either.
Not only do they offer removal quotes but storage and courier quotes and even what they call "specialised goods movement quotes" which I found out was for pianos and antiques and paintings etc. They also offer packaging materials which is handy AND competetive!
All in all I was pretty impressed with what they had to offer. Check them out!
Do you pack the goods yourselves or do you use the removal company that are moving you?!
Its all about money.
If you are at the top end of your budget then you will do it yourself.
If you are not at the top end of your budget and don't have the time then you may use a company to do this. I think there will always be concerns over security with this method mind you. That is no slur on any companies that offer this service, more of a paranoia over the human need for money.
One thing I can say, I work for my family haulage company and we have done many removals over the years, the amount of times we have arrived at the times agreed to find that they are midway through or have not even started packing yet can be SO agrivating! People please have your goods packed up and ready to go. Preferrably the night before (barring of course your essentials).
Had any experiences? Going to be experiencing this soon? Let me know!
