Your biggest fears when moving
The moving process used to be one of life’s most stressful events, so it’s reasonable to lie awake at night worrying about everything that could go wrong on the way from your old home to your new one.
If you’re anxious over an upcoming relocation, believe us, you’re not alone! The survey done by Wakefield Research in March 2017 found that many people share five big worries about moving.
Here are the top concerns.
1. Stuff getting smashed.
The number one concern about moving is damage to belongings, shared by 64 percent of people surveyed.
At first sight, it's not a big deal to move a piece of furniture from one place to another. In real life, there are always some difficulties almost all the time. Only professional movers know how to carry out or bring in a massive couch or a table through a narrow doorway or a balcony and scratch neither walls, floor, ceiling nor pieces of furniture themselves. Only experienced movers know how to pack all glass and ceramic from the kitchen or expensive electronics in a way it will be delivered and unpacked without being broken or damaged. Only responsible movers will disassemble and then reassemble your big items such as bed, sofa or entertainment center and you can be sure that they won't fell apart after movers leave. Only movers who care about their reputation correctly wrap all your furniture and mattresses to protect them from any damages or dirt.
Fortunately for our clients, in RELYBEL Moving Company we cultivate all these qualities in our movers and keep and control very high moving standards among all our employees.
2. Belongings getting lost.
Many people, 41 percent, also worry that their items could go missing or get left behind in a move.
Everybody has heard stories from friends about missed items after they had moved. Usually, it's small but valuable belongings: watch, cell phone, picture, jewelry, expensive bottle of wine, etc. Sometimes it could be even larger and more expensive stuff such as a laptop or a tv. To avoid this kind of situations, the best way is to order reliable moving company such as RELYBEL Moving Company that has all the licenses and is fully insured.
