What Will Hiring A Professional Mover Save You?

Moving is a stressful thing - most obvious statement of the century. We've all done it, or at least most of us have, and we all know it's no easy task. Not only is it hard on the brain, it's hard on the back and hard on the wallet.

A common strategy we take is to ignore the fact we're moving until two days before the moving truck arrives, which is when we decide to scout out liquor store boxes, throw our belongings in them, and wonder what happened when we get to point 'B'. The more organized species out there actually take the time to label and seal their boxes, sometimes even with colour coded sticky notes.

That's all dandy when everything you own fits into a dorm room, but as your life progresses you start possessing things of value, like pianos and china and marble tables. Inviting your friends to help you and renting a squeaking truck is fine only if you're willing to risk the damage that may end up costing you more than you anticipated.

A professional mover is well worth the investment. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, and if you've paid for a $30 truck and recruited a bunch of free friends, you can guess how well your move is going to go. Here's a list of some of the things a professional mover will save you:
