Moving During The Holidays

Moving can be stressful, and this time of year can be stressful; put them together, and you've got a lot on your plate. But that doesn't mean you should be overwhelmed or cancel plans! With the right plan and positive attitude, you can ring in 2015 all moved in to your new home.

To avoid emotional distress, be sure to pack the belongings that mean the most to you first; pack the lights and holiday decorations in the last box. If you have children in your family, assure them that moving into a new house doesn't mean the holidays are canceled.

If a big holiday meal is important to your family, you can uphold traditions by having the big feast at another relative's house. Bringing a tin of festive cookies or a bottle of sparkling wine is a warm gesture that doesn't entail stressing over preparing an elaborate meal. Of course, you always have the option to postpone moving in the middle of the festivities. Pack up and leave the house in containers or a storage facility while you relax and enjoy your holidays.

Happy moving, and happy holidays from all of us here at the Bulwark Moving Company!

Messy Movers: How Dishonest Moving Companies Scam Unsuspecting Customers

You might have heard a horror story from a friend or family member about a bad moving experience, or a good move gone wrong when the bill arrives afterward. The moving industry as a whole has a spotty reputation due to scam tactics, but you don't have to become a victim of shady movers!

Congratulations, you found a super low quote online on your upcoming move. The bulk of your move is priced by the pound. You're not sure how much your furniture weighs exactly, but you trust the company will take care of you. The contract is signed, your furniture is all loaded into the truck, and now you're presented with the final cost-- but it's more than double what they quoted you. Where did all these charges come from? Now, they're saying if you don't pay the unexpected fees, they'll lock up the truck and take your belongings with them. This is called the Bait and Switch.

The contract Movers are even advertising their companies without real licenses! Being pulled over and caught mid-move without a valid business license means the truck gets impounded-- along with all of YOUR belongings. Another thing dishonest companies love to do is change their names once they've been blacklisted for dirty work. Make sure to do your research before settling on a company. They may not be who they say they are.

All this information about moving scammers is enough to make you consider doing it yourself with a pickup truck, but even DIY has its setbacks. Far too often, pricing quotes on rental trucks don't include insurance on the vehicle or furniture. How will you know which size truck to rent? The associates leasing you the truck aren't trained to direct you to the vehicle best fit for the job, as their work isn't geared towards moving large pieces of furniture. Don't forget about the price of diesel, and several other hidden surcharges that aren't mentioned until you return the vehicle, including but not limited to, refueling and cleaning charges.

And remember: Bulwark Moving has no hidden fees or upcharges-- none. Don't fall for these moving company tricks, and you'll be well on your way to your new home.

Bulwark Movers are Excellent!

Bulwark Movers recently moved my elderly mother from one assisted living facility to another one. I couldn’t have been more grateful to them for the kindness and care they expressed towards her, and the level of professionalism they had. Moving is always complicated, especially for an elderly person. I was unfortunately unable to be there myself, but I was in close communication with them every step of the way.

Their staff was courteous and timely, and they were always reachable via phone and email. I felt that I never missed a beat during the process, and I knew that my aging mother was in good hands. It was the closest thing to being there that I could have hoped for.

I would definitely utilize their services again if the time came, and I have already told my friends about how great they were to my mother. If you ever need a trustworthy and reliable moving company, look no further than Bulwark Movers. They are excellent!

If you’ve ever been through the moving process, I hope you will appreciate my opinion. Moving can be very stressful and time consuming. Sometimes, there are unexpected “roadblocks” that pop up in your way, and it seems like it can take forever to get the job done. My experience with Bulwark Moving was a good one, and I would like to recommend them to you.

Bulwark Moving assisted my family and me with all of our moving needs. Without them, I’m not sure what we would have done. From getting boxes to unpacking, these guys knew how to hustle, and they made the day fly by quickly. From the moment they walked in the door, I felt comfortable and at ease.

As everything was being unpacked in my new house, I let out a sigh of relief. Nothing had been broken or scratched, and the move had gone smoothly. I know if I have to move again, I will call Bulwark Moving Company to assist me.
