If the Shoe Fits, Move It

If you’re like most folks, when it comes time to move you will focus on the BIG things.  Stuff like furniture, major appliances and kitchenware are the first things to pop onto your radar when you start packing.  While handling these items is key to moving efficiency, it’s the little things that tend to get overlooked until the last minute.  One such forgotten subject are shoes.  Now I know that most men have 10 pairs of shoes or less.  As a result, the topic is something of a nonstarter.  However, when it comes to women, shoes are a big deal.  More importantly guys, if you live with a woman and you damage, destroy or lose your gal’s shoes during a move, you are cruising for a bruising. Take it from the man who has been there and done that.

The Do's and Don'ts of Letting a Mover Pack for You

Let’s be honest, nobody has too much time on their hands nowadays.  Whether you’re working full time, taking care of the family or are retired, your life is always a case of too many tasks and too little time.  That being said, one of the biggest sinkholes for time is packing everything you own when you need to move.  Unless you live in an efficiency apartment, we’re talking weeks, not days to organize, protect and pack your possessions.  What’s even worse is that the packing zone can be a danger zone as well.  You don’t know how many people I’ve met who were seriously injured when something they packed came tumbling down on them.  Back strain is another danger that can cause you to wind up in the doctor’s office. 

Who needs that, especially when movers like me are only too happy to pack and unpack your belongings for you.  Not only is this a terrific time saver, it can also eliminate the aches and pains that most people wind up with after loading and lifting a mountain of boxes.
