There is absolutely no time to collect things, boxes and search for a truck. Has anyone used a full-service service where everything is collected and taken away for you? How safe is it in terms of the safety of things?
The service is convenient, but you need to carefully choose a contractor with a good reputation and an official financial liability agreement. You will have to entrust your personal belongings to strangers, so it is better to be present during the process or transport the valuables yourself. Otherwise, it's a great way to save your back and time.
For me, the idea of packing on my own was a real nightmare, since I work late and just didn't have the energy for the boxes. I hesitated for a long time, but decided on a comprehensive option from a company recommended by an architect I know. The managers from Paradise Moving & Storage arrived in advance, assessed the work front, brought packaging materials and carefully laid out everything themselves. Things from cupboards, dishes, fragile decor — everything was laid out in labeled boxes with incredible neatness. The transportation itself went smoothly, the driver drove carefully, without sudden braking. At the new location, the guys not only unloaded the cars, but also arranged heavy furniture according to the specified plan, laid out clothes. It felt amazing, as if I had just walked into a ready-made clean apartment, where everything was already in its place. This really saves you from the stress that usually accompanies any relocation.
