Moving stinks. Most homeowners will agree—moving is absolutely the WORST. Luckily, our team at ABS Movers & Storage can make it easier for you.
Want to avoid moving? We can understand why… Here are the top reasons you should avoid moving yourself and let the professionals help:
The house hunt/condo hunt
No matter how thrilling in the beginning and how exciting HGTV portrays it to be—the house hunt stinks. Home buying is a tedious, stressful process.
Utilities
Canceling, transferring, and re-pricing! The process of changing over the utilities is cumbersome and often means new deposits or fees… Or both.
Packing. PACKING.
Is there anything worse? We all assume packing will be an easy process: group like items, throw out and donate items for which you no longer have a use, and be sure to package breakables safely. This is the ideal, but not reality. Reality is that packing begins easily, like with items that are easily grouped… But then, time and nerves wear thin and items begin to make less and less sense in groups and the house quickly spins into stressful, alarming levels of disarray.
You have SO MUCH STUFF
This goes hand-in-hand with the reason packing yourself—without professional assistance and materials—is the worst. You look around at your belongings, all tucked away and orderly, and think, this will be no problem. I’m not a hoarder; there isn’t too much to do… WRONG. You have a ton of stuff. You have more stuff than you thought. In fact, you have so much stuff, you are afraid this new residence won’t house your stuff by the time everything is moved.
Emotional reminiscing
Deep in the depths of your closets is memory lane, waiting to delay your moving process. Before you know it, you’ve wasted hours and days emotionally reminiscing.
You have absolutely NO idea how to disassemble some of your furniture
IKEA fans, anyone? Some furniture cannot be easily moved fully assembled because it’s oversized or oddly shaped or easy to break while intact. No one wants to disassemble their furniture and reassemble the 1,087 pieces by memory. No one. But sometimes, it must be done.
Nothing ever fits through the door
How did this couch ever make it into this home? Did we BUILD this armoire inside? Surely it never fit through any door in THIS house… When it comes to moving day, doors seem to shrink and large items become enormous.
Moving injuries
Wouldn’t you rather leave the back-breaking labor to someone else? Moving is rough on the body. Cuts, bruises, pulled muscles—it’s no fun and it’s not worth it.
Friends? Do we have friends?
Moving takes teamwork; the more hands, the faster the process. But it is not always easy to enlist help. Isn’t it funny how friends seem scarce during the moving process? That’s because they aren’t being paid! They have full-time jobs, children, functions to attend, and yardwork—they’re busy. Truth be told, enlisting help is inefficient, anyway. You have to navigate schedules, feelings, and time constraints beyond your own.
