Although it would save you money if you seek the help of friends or family members to assist you with the move, this is not always the wisest course to take especially if you have a lot of valuables. Possible breakage and damage to your possessions, having a not-so-organized move - these are just some of the aspects of moving that you need to deal with, especially if the individuals who are out to help are not that experienced with transporting valuables from one place to another.
 
How a Full-Service Mover can Help You
 
Your other option is to hire a removals company that offers a full-service move. Here are a few reasons why it pays to hire a full-service mover:
-

You can take advantage of the services of professional packers who can organize your things; go through your cupboards; stack and pack your dishes; repack your grocery staples; as well as carefully pack and move your valuables.
-

Professional movers also conduct inventories of the items that you have, inspect your belongings for damages and safely pack your things after keeping track of them.
-

You can take advantage of the insurance policies for when breakable items like your LCD TV, computer monitor or your grandmother's china gets broken during the move.
-

By the end of the move, you can opt to either have the movers unpack all your things for you, or simply place them in designated areas like boxes for the kitchen, bedroom, living room, etc.
 
At the end of the day, although hiring a full-service moving company is a bit more costly, you will actually save a lot of time, money and effort - especially when you compare the stress associated with a do-it-yourself move.
