Lack of training and skills in shifting services: Without knowing how to correctly carry out each step of the relocation, it becomes difficult to perform a safe and successful move. Items or property may get damaged without using right quality and quantity of packaging material, moving supplies, packing methods, and transport vehicle, and you may even injure yourself in the process.
More time and money spent for self-moving: You may buy less quantity or wrong quality of packing material and may need around 1-2 days for packing goods itself. Lifting and moving furniture/appliances without equipment is riskier and more time-taking; moreover, you’ll have to pay extra to hire labor separately. Lastly, booking wrong-sized truck will take up more time and unnecessary expenses for doing multiple trips with small truck or paying for a lot of unused space in large truck.
Shortage of efficient helpers for packing and moving: Of course, if you’re moving small living spaces or few goods, you don’t need extra help for packing, loading, unloading, or unpacking. However, when shifting bigger house or large number of goods, you could request family/friends to help on moving day, but you will have to handle the task of heavy lifting by yourself or hire skilled labor if they are unavailable.
Transport for shifting households not easily available: Determining the most appropriate truck size for transporting household goods is vital for 100% safe relocation. When distance to destination is less, you can use your own car/jeep for moving; however, this option should be avoided when moving from one city to another. Since goods get easily damaged during long-distance moving, it’s important to make sure goods can fit comfortably and are immovable in the truck.
Risk of damages and self-injury while lifting and moving: The root cause of damaged goods and injuries is due to your lack of knowledge and experience in relocation. To shield yourself from any harm, you can either hire additional moving labor help to assist you in packing and moving various goods or learn the right way of handling heavy objects.
