Packing for Moving Day is Done Best by Professional Movers
The Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) Recommends That Consumers Hire a Professional Mover to Do the Packing for Their Move to Help Ensure That the Experience is Faster, Safer and Less Worrisome
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 06/05/12 -- Packing for Your Move
You've decided to move. Should you try to move yourself? Should you hire a few local men with a truck to save money? Or should you contract a professional mover who may cost more?
CAM can assist you in finding a reputable mover who will provide professional moving services and alleviate the stress of such a significant life experience.
Now who should do the packing? Packing is a big part of a move - gathering packing materials and packing the containers. And who will be responsible for damage that might result?
Customers can choose from a full-pack (the mover brings the materials and does all the packing), no-pack (the customer does it all) or a partial-pack service. Professional packing relieves the customer of all the work and relieves them from worry about damage that could result from their inexperience. The mover is not responsible for the condition of items in owner-packed containers. Customers should at least opt for a partial pack of their breakables, like china, artwork and mirrors.
Movers use special-purpose packing materials designed specifically to protect different types of articles.
Customers who decide to pack themselves should use:
And they should apply the basic rules for good packing:
Properly calculating the required packing materials is a challenge. Movers estimate a standard number of containers for a move then adjust for the customer such as for doctors who often have a great quantity of books.
Special items - statues, gun collections, crystal chandeliers - may require custom-made containers and special packing.
Movers cannot transport inadmissible items like explosives, ammunition, aerosol cans and flammables like gasoline, paints or cleaning fluids.
Movers take no liability for losses to high-value items - jewelry, medications, computer data, etc. Consumers must transport these irreplaceable valuables items themselves to avoid the risk of loss.
Contact CAM for assistance in hiring a reputable mover who will provide professional moving services - a mover that subscribes to CAM's code of ethics, meets CAM's business standards and commits to mediation in the unlikely event of a dispute.
