Keeping the cost that involves the service of packing and moving service one often thinks, why should we pay someone if we can do the job ourselves? That is a fair question, but is the answer also in so much favor of that? Let’s find out. We would try and see the different aspects and compare which one is better, professional help or self-service.
Time: Time is the first factor that should be compared. Now if you are self-packing this would be a few days to a few weeks’ work that too depends whether you are working or have taken leave for this. As you are also not professionally trained for this, you would end up creating a mess. Professional packers, on the other hand, are trained for this, they would probably take a day or a few days depending upon the size. Plus they would pack all the items according to their size, material, and fragility. So hiring the professionals would be the better choice here.
Speed: The speed is again a factor where the professionals are miles ahead of you. This is their primary work while for you it’s a liability. They have set a time frame for the work and do that in that tight time frame. You would be doing it at your convenience. They have every equipment, packing material and skill for packing and moving and hence the speed would be accurate and fast, while you have to find out what to pack with what. So speed-wise also the professionals are a far better choice.
Safety of The Items: Moving and packing also mean moving all your valuable items which include costly furniture, expensive electronics, fragile crockery, and many more items which require proper care while packaging. Professionals have all the right packaging materials ready with them. They have a different packing approach to different items depending upon its price, fragility, and endurance. You would probably pack everything with the same approach and would ultimately result in damaging many costly and expensive items. So safety-wise also professionals are way ahead.
Self-Storage Solutions: Now self storage solutions is a service exclusively available with professional packing and moving services. You can get a self-storage and store some of your stuff if you would be returning or want to sell it afterward or just are not sure what to do with certain items. You obviously don’t have this additional plus point going in your favor.
Price or Cost: Well here you have an edge as you don’t have to pay a dime to yourself. But after reading all the above-stated points you are sure that you would be saving more, omitting the professional packers and movers and doing all the tedious work by yourself. The cost seems to be a plus point for you doing it yourself, but keeping in mind the damages you can incur with improper packaging, no facility for self-storage, man-hours spend on this tedious work and mental trauma you would endure, it is always better to hire the professionals for your moving and packaging.
