Why Choose a Professional Mover over a DIY move?

The task of moving all essential belongings or moveable assets across small or large distances becomes a daunting challenge. If incorrectly planned, the same can result in not only loss of valuables but also cause much mental agony and stress. Residential or office movers  have various different requisites when moving. Some prefer a complete set of services while others look for more customised specific services.

Professional Movers:

  • They provide end to end services with a wide reach.
  • They are usually costlier than DIY option.
  • They provide tailor made services and take out all the worry, stress and hassle from the experience. However, from time to time slip ups happen and hence there will be people who will share some harrowing experiences as well.

DIY Route:

  • This is not ideal for people with physical conditions and there is a lack of experience.
  • In this one is using the help of known associates such as friends or family hence, the stress which comes with entrusting valuable assets in the hands of a mover and packer who is essentially an unknown entity, is close to nonexistent.
  • In this option the entire logistics such as packing material, loading, packing, unloading and unpacking as well as the heavy lifting is on you. In this option one is able to manage the schedule as per one’s own convenience which is often missing with a professional movers and packers company.

Professional Movers v/s DIY:

  • Office moving involves special supplies for packing which are not usually easily available in the market. Even if available the bulk purchase discounts which would be given to a company will not be available, hence price may escalate and defeat the major reason for going the do it yourself or DIY route.
  • Time savings will be enormous when a specialist or a pro is going to perform your moving operation. They do it on a regular basis. It is their job and they know the flow of events for a smooth experience. Hence, for those willing to pay a reasonable premium for comfort, this is the way.
  • Professional movers usually have insurance in the form of transit and other types of insurance. This will usually not be there in the DIY route. If one does opt for it then the same will make the professional mover option cheaper.
  • In case of DIY route, one has to feed the helpers as well as worry about breakage unlike the professional route since they come with all the proper tools and materials and a well thought out plan based on your requirements.
