Moving During Coronavirus: What You Need to Know

January 14, 2022 by admin

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose challenges, people still need to move. Relocating the household is always a challenging endeavor, so what’s different now? We talked to one of the top pack and ship moving companies near Boston, and here’s what you need to know:

Book Your Move As Early As Possible

Labor shortages and supply chain issues are hitting every industry. That includes moving companies, freight carriers, and other delivery services that depend on drivers. Booking movers at the last minute is always a hit-or-miss endeavor, but that’s especially true now. Book your move as early as you can to ensure availability and favorable pricing.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions

When booking your move, don’t be afraid to ask questions including will the movers be wearing masks and what type of safety protocols are in place to help keep my family and I safe during this move? Employers cannot disclose any of their employee’s personal health information but any reputable moving company will do what they can to provide you with peace of mind. This includes what personal protective equipment their employees will wear on site. Contactless pack and ship moving services are available- call for your local moving company for details.

Downsize to Keep Moving Costs Down

Prices are rising across the board for many household and consumer goods. That being said, the same is also true for shipping costs. It’s always a good idea to downsize before a move -there’s no sense relocating items you no longer want or need. Now, especially for long distance moves or moves in which you’re having your possessions shipped cross-country, it’s really smart to downsize aggressively. Does it make sense to pay top dollar to ship a box full of plastic food storage containers? Even trimming one or two boxes from your overall shipment can help you save money.
