Dispelling Common Misconceptions About Moving

Moving can be a complicated process, so many homeowners are not too keen on tackling this task. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of misconceptions surrounding the moving process that can lead to major moving mistakes. Today, Around Town Movers, one of the top movers in our area, debunks some of these common moving myths:

  • It Doesn’t Matter Which Mover You Choose – This is false because different moving companies offer various rates and conditions. More importantly, all moving companies offer diverse services and moving experiences. For example, thanks to our decades of experience, we can handle everything about the moving process for you with our wide range of services. We can make your move quick and convenient.
  • It Won’t Matter If You Label and Organize Your Boxes – As experienced local movers, we recommend inventorying and organizing your boxes as best as you can. A moving inventory will help you organize your items in a systematic matter, and it will help immensely when it’s time to unpack your things at your new home. A moving inventory and proper labels will also ensure you won’t lose your things during the move.
  • It’s Always Cheaper to Move Yourself – While it may be more affordable to rent a moving truck, your final moving costs will typically be the same as hiring a moving company. This is because you need to pay for fuel, insurance, your meals and lodgings, moving equipment and packing materials. You might also need to feed and give gifts to the friends who assist you during the move. These expenses add up quickly, so it makes sense to hire a professional company like us to do your moving for you. We can make sure your move is successful.

As one of the premier local movers in our area, we will do our best to make your move as convenient and hassle-free as possible. We provide a full range of services, including pre-move assistance, storage, packing, post-move organization and more.

Around Town Movers will use everything we have learned over 35 years to assist you during your move. We serve many areas in Maryland and Virginia, including Ashburn and Arlington, VA. Call us at (703) 682-5922 to learn more about moving. You can also ask for a free moving quote.
