Although moving yourself seems more convenient and cost-effective, hiring professional movers can save you time, money, and hassle. Learn how.

Moving, especially for the first time, can be extremely draining. Even though it can make the process much easier, only 33% of people who move hire a professional moving company. It can seem more convenient and cost-effective to do everything on your own, but hiring movers can save you a lot of time and struggle. Here are a few benefits that come when you hire movers for your first move.

More Efficiency

While you are capable of moving everything yourself, hiring movers will make the process of moving homes much faster. Movers have a streamlined process for getting your belongings out of one place and into another. Everything moves very quickly and in the most productive way possible. This can save you a lot of time and resources.

Their provided trucks make it easy to take everything over in one trip. Likely, they will move everything over in one day, whereas if you did it all yourself, it could take weeks. This gives you more time to unpack, decorate, and enjoy your space while it still feels brand new to you.

More Reassurance

If you happen to break a dish or crack a TV while moving your own boxes, you will probably have to pay out of your own pocket to replace them. When you hire movers, your belongings are covered by the company. 

Movers are trained to move things around carefully, so the chance of them breaking any of your belongings is pretty low. However, if they were to break something in your boxes, it could be covered and you could get some money back for it. Be sure to check for a moving insurance policy when doing your research on local moving companies.

Less Hassle

Moving is a big task. By hiring movers, you’re ticking a large item off your to-do list. They take what is arguably the most tiring and physically demanding part of the whole process off your plate. 

This way, you can focus more on other things; unpacking, getting utilities and addresses changed, decorating your place, and celebrating your new home. Knowing that your belongings are being moved by professionals gives you more peace of mind and a little bit of a break.

Let’s be honest: as generous as your friends can be, they don’t want to help you carry heavy boxes for pizza and beer. They want to celebrate with you afterwards without the backache.
