Packing supplies can be purchased at a local moving retailer, a mail service store, or an office supply outlet; however, for the best choice and most variety, go online. By taking the time to surf the Internet, you can compare prices and find specialty items that may be difficult to purchase at a local retail shop. Be aware that some packing suppliers deal with large companies, so you will need to make sure you are able to purchase smaller quantities. Just remember that buying the right supplies from the beginning will save you time and energy.

Protecting our credit, which is just as important if not more vital, isn't a common practice in the process of moving. This article points out why you should be more concerned with protecting your credit than your china.

Packing up and moving can be challenging. With so many things to remember and do, it is easy to place thoughts about your credit’s well-being in the background.

Don't Let This Happen to You...

A Very Common Scenario:

The customers are excited because they received an online moving quote at an hourly rate that is very low priced. When the movers arrive, the customers sign the contract. As the crew begins the move, they load the most expensive items first. Everything is fine until the movers are at the final destination and almost finished unloading. At this point the movers begin to strong arm the customer by telling them about all of the extra fees that they have incurred. There are items on the bill that reflect charges for additional travel fees, lunch breaks, stairs, shrink wrap, long carries, fuel, fueling time, blankets and moving heavy or large items. They might have also charged extra for the dismantling and reassembly of beds, tables, cabinets and sofas, These additional fraudulant charges are the 'Bait and Switch' of a dishonest mover. They will point out to the customer that they signed and agreed to these conditions on the contract. If the customer refuses to pay the amount, the movers close the truck and threaten to drive away with the customers furnishings. After reviewing the contract, it is obvious that the only way to regain the belongings is to pay the unexpected extra charges.

This is never the case at Bulwark Moving. We are 100% committed to providing superior customer service with honesty and integrity. We take your trust seriously and plan to keep it by exceeding your expectations with every service visit and relocation we provide for you and your family.
