Are Professional Relocation Services Really Worth the Money?

It’s been said “the best time for a new beginning is now,” and that proves very true when it comes to moving to a new city. There is so much excitement in creating a new beginning in a new place but that excitement can be dampened by the realities of planning a long-distance relocation from beginning to end. A DIY approach will require that you determine (i.e. Google & FB Group every question) what stuff to pack for your move, gathering supplies to pack, procure a moving vehicle, and actually driving the vehicle to your new destination. Which brings us to our topic; if you want to avoid doing all the heavy lifting and moving work yourself, another option is to hire a professional moving company but that costs money; is it worth it? 

At Camelot Moving & Storage, we understand that many people face the question of whether or not it is worth it financially to hire a professional relocation service for their move. Here are some reasons why hiring movers is worth the money, as well as what professional movers can do to reduce your stress level during a move.

Cross-Country Moves

If you’re leaving the Santa Clarita Valley, or Southern California region for a different part of the country, you’re likely anxious about the logistics. Many questions might be running through your mind, including: How are you going to figure out what kind of packing supplies you need for your items? Are you going to enlist the help of friends or family? What size truck do you need to fit all your items? Are you going to spend multiple days driving a truck by yourself across state lines? Which family members will drive the cars? 

If thinking about the answers to all these questions is giving you a headache, consider asking one of the best long-distance moving companies in Valencia, California, for some helpful tips in the planning process. Download our guide. While we are willing and ready to take on those tasks ourselves for you, we are also more than happy to recommend and advise on what size UHAUL you should  rent if you want to drive your belongings yourself, how to prep appliances and furniture for a long-distance move, and even some great tips on traveling with pets. If you decided that DIY long-distance moving isn’t for you, then you will get a good feel about our services when you ask us about our full-service long-distance moving—our large trucks, handle all the driving and move everything into your new home for you (which would include furniture disassembly and reassembly at both locations). 

Bulky and Heavy Items

When you’re planning a long-distance move, one of the most difficult things is figuring out how you’re going to move bulky items like couches, entertainment centers, and mattresses. Avoid a situation where your couch gets stuck in the stairwell of your new home and hire a professional relocation services company with the experience and expertise when it comes to moving heavy items.

Saves Time

Many cross-country and long-distance moves often involve a change in job. When you’re getting ready to start at your new position, the last thing you want to worry about is the logistics of your move, and the impending question, “Can we get all of this handled and our home unpacked and setup before work begins?” A particular point of pride for us at Camelot is that our team will provide your family with a very finite delivery window—1 to 2 days to be exact. Additionally, 99% of the time they deliver on the first day of that window of time.

Many people simply do not have the time to commit to a proper move, and if this is the case, hiring professional movers can remove that stress and allow you to focus on parts of the move that are more important to you.
