What to expect when hiring a moving company
At some point in most of our lives, we have been forced into that wonderful dream scenario where we get to pack up all of our belongings, throw it all into the back of a big truck, drive it across town or the country to our new home, just to unpack it all into the house. Did we say a dream? We meant a nightmare! If you have ever had to move, we and millions of Americans are right there with you and we feel your pain. We want to show you that hiring a moving company is the most stress free way to get the job done.
Why do I need a moving company?
Remember how it felt? The back pain from not lifting with your legs. The yelling at your significant other because they don’t know how to move as you do. The constant reminder to pivot. All the wonderful details that exist when you are moving from house to house. The reason most people choose a local moving company is that they just flat out do not want to deal with the hassle, the frustration, and it’s becoming harder to bribe their friends with beer and pizza. Moving company prices fluctuate depending on the distance, the region, the size of the house, but almost more times than not, it is worth every penny. Using movers is safe, its convenient, it almost ensures you won't throw your back out, and allows more time to focus on the house itself rather than what box you put the dishes in.
Are moving companies safe to use?
Even though there are so many positive things about using movers there is one common glaring item. Are they safe? It's not completely unfair to think that a group of strange men being inside your home and around your items could lead to things being stolen or your house getting broken into at a later date. But how exactly can you protect against this sort of thing? Our number one tip is to always make sure the moving company you want to use is registered with the Better Business Bureau and they are in good standing. Check google reviews, social media reviews, do all the due diligence you can do before saying yes.
We suggest asking as many questions as you can think of. At the end of the day, it is your money, your home, and your personal belongings that are at stake if something goes wrong. As far as keeping your things safe, movers are usually incredible at packing and keeping things where they belong. You ever noticed how everything is wrapped in plastic, then moving blankets? Safety! We often feel like we are the best movers in OKC but we only feel that way because of our continued focus on customer satisfaction. Safety first, always.

How much does a moving company cost?
“But I don't want to pay for something that I can do just as good myself” We understand where you are coming from. Why not just rent that moving truck yourself and get everything packed and ready to go all on your own. Well, we think we can show you why that's not the way to go. Whenever you hire a moving company you are allowing a few things to take place. First, you do not have to do any of the work if you don't want to. Most movers will pack everything for you as well as load it up and move it. Of course, you can choose to pre-pack everything if you want to save a few bucks.
The second thing is that you no longer have to take off work and try to arrange a good time when your friends can come over and help. Most people don't want to miss out on the money from taking time off so now you do not have to. Let the movers do their thing while you get that money!
But ultimately let's talk about cost after all that’s what this section is about right? Movers in OKC probably all price relatively the same way. How big is the property? How many rooms? How far is the distance to the new property? Will there be extremely large items such as hot tubs or pianos being moved? In general, if you are moving to a new home in the same city or relatively close (inside of 100 miles) then you should be able to move for under one thousand dollars. Make sure you ask your movers about any incentives or discounts that they offer.
