If you want to cut corners when moving, you can consider “Do-it-yourself” moving where you merely rent the truck and you take care of everything else – packing, unpacking, loading, unloading and even driving the truck.  One area where you shouldn’t skimp on though is the quality of boxes that you use.  Here’s why.

Besides marriage and having children, moving is perhaps one of the most stressful periods in life. Throughout my years as a mover, I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen couples almost break-up because of a move and clients completely paralyzed and overwhelmed with anxiety. It doesn’t have to be that way, however, if the move is properly planned in advance. This pre-planning can help both the movers and clients experience the smoothest move possible.

Until I worked in the moving industry, I thought stickers were only for kids. As I soon found out after working for my first movers in California job, stickers play a huge role in properly preparing for that all-important moving day. Stickers can make or break a properly prepared moving plan, as I quickly noticed that all the successful moves utilized some type of sticker system.

Working as a mover is a tough job. I should know, as I was a mover for over 30 years, and just retired last year due to a sore back. Movers are often taken for granted - you pay for the service, and you expect good service. In essence, that’s pretty much true for any service that’s provided, whether it’s for a plumbing job or maintenance work on an air conditioning system.
