Storing Your Stuff

With our world being so mobile, it is more common for people to need to place their belonging into storage. It is important that you are certain your items are being stored safely and securely.

The Canadian Movers Association makes the following recommendations when choosing a storage facility:

1.Find out the reputation of the storage facility you are considering.

2.Make sure you completely understand the services that the company is offering, what your responsibilities are, the liability of the company in the case of damage or theft, how the items are secured and if you have access to your items while being stored.

3.Ask what the additional charges are. Are there charges for wrapping or protective materials, moth-proofing, packing items like mirrors or servicing appliances to prevent the growth of mildew?

4.Keep complete lists of all the items being stored. Compare lists with the company storing your belongings to ensure it matches.

5.Visit the storage facility to see if it is clean, dry and rodent-free. Ask about climate control and security.

Twas the Night Before Moving

“Twas the night before moving
We’d just bought a house
Good thing the inspection
Didn't turn up a mouse!
No one was sleeping
We rolled in our beds
While visions of moving crates
Danced In our heads!”

Rather than the usual moving tip post, this week I thought I’d take a moment to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

If you are reading this blog, chances are you have either just moved or are planning a move. Here at Moving Again Inc, we understand that moving is one of the most stressful things you can do. We want to help you make this difficult transition easier.

I trust that you will be able to enjoy the upcoming holidays with family and loved ones. I also hope you find a moment to experience the real meaning of the season – the love of Jesus, coming to a world in so need of His love.

If moving is part of your new year, feel free to contact me by visiting my website www.movingagain.ca. We can help take you across the street or across the country.

Leave your favourite moving tip or story and come join the discussion on our face book page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Moving-Again/177993148882424 or on twitter @AndrewBrown80.

New Beginnings

Moving Again has been moving people from their homes and offices since 1996, both locally and long distance. If there is anything we know, we know moving.

That's why I decided to share some of that information. Moving can be one of the most stressful times in a person's life- whether you're moving your office or your entire home. We don't just want to move your stuff, we want to make the whole process a little easier on you.

So stop back often for tips, links and resources to make your next move an enjoyable one.
