Moving can be taxing emotionally, physically, financially, and in many other unquantifiable ways. All the preparation and energy required can push you towards considering professional movers. Here are the pros and cons of professional movers to keep in mind as you consider a moving company.

Pros of professional movers

Logistical support and convenience

Professional movers take all that logistical weight off your shoulders. All you have to do is decide on the date and they’ll take it from there. This is especially true for cross-country moves. Nobody should fight that battle alone when there are professional cross-country movers who can make the process a breeze. They will figure out how to fit everything from the huge and heavy to the small and fragile. Then they’ll unpack it all to boot. You don’t have to worry about how to convince your friends to come and move your stuff for pizza and good karma. It’s far more convenient to reach out to a moving company and have them organize everything rather than try to convince each of your friends to come and help lug your stuff around.

Safer move and insurance

Professional movers prioritize safety. You can be reasonably certain your belongings will not be damaged during the move. It also keeps you safe from getting hurt trying to move things especially heavy furniture and electronics. They have trained staff who are skilled and experienced at doing this leaving you one less thing to worry about. It also helps that moving companies have insurance coverage should anything happen.

Efficiency and productivity

If you were to move on your own, it would take longer and be significantly more stressful. The experience of the staff makes for an efficient move. Professional movers will pack fast and unpack just as fast. They are experienced at lifting heavy furniture and come with whatever equipment’s needed to get the job done. It’s also a massive time saver.

Stress reduction

Supervising while other people do the heavy lifting is as close to stress-free as a move can be. It’s safe to say you have enough to worry about and letting professional movers take this one off your plate can only be considered a win.

Cons of hiring professional movers

Costly

Using professional movers will cost more. Moving companies have different ways of charging for their services. Most will charge for the distance, the labour it takes to complete the move, and the total weight of everything you move. For comprehensive insurance coverage, you’ll likely need to purchase full-value insurance. You should also factor in gratuity. It’s standard to tip the movers on the ground when they’re done. It’s important to study the quote from the movers just to be clear about the fine print and any other miscellaneous costs.

Risk for scams

Using a moving company means having to trust them. The stakes become exceedingly high the more you have and by extension the more expensive your stuff is. Most moving companies are honest and reliable. However, there are some professional movers who give a low quote and then raise the prices after picking up your stuff. This is why it’s important to read the fine print before signing on the dotted line. It’s also why you have to do your research and make sure the moving company you have selected is reputable and trustworthy.

Less control

Once you secure their service, professional movers take control of the moving situation. On the day of, they decide what happens, when, and how. This may not be the best option for people who like to be in control. Depending on their availability, movers can even dictate when the move happens, forcing you to adjust your schedule to fit theirs.
