Planning a domestic move can also be quite a daunting process. Logistcially, however, items can either be consolidated with other cargo inside a larger truck (if small or cost sensitive) or trucked to destination using a solo truck. The following are some instances that may be taken into account when computing a budget:
Are all your belongings packed on the day of the move?
Is the truck able to park near your property? Is an elevator/lift avaialble?
Are there any difficult/heavy items to move?
Do you require addtional services e.g. electricians, maid or storage?
Are you planning to move during peak times or holidays or typhoon season?
Is destination residence accessible and a person available to coordinate?
Is your transfer time sensitive?
In addition, a moving vendor's service scope should include:
Professional assessment of volume / weight to be moved + your requirementsDelivery of any other services agreed upon (such as handyman or storage)Packing at internationally accepted densityTransfer to your new location via solo or collect truckUnwrapping and placing of furniture, upacking of cartons (except books and clothing)Removal of all packing materialsAssistance with insurance claims (if taken)
