What To Do When All Your Friends Are Moving Too & Can’t Help You Move

The late spring and early summer are the busiest times to move, especially if you’re moving out of college housing. This means you may not be able to depend on your friends to help you move your stuff – and let’s be real, your friends may not be the best people to pack your things so they won’t break, carry heavy boxes, or navigate a huge moving truck down crowded city streets.

What’s the alternative?

Well, you can try to do everything all by yourself – talk about exhausting! If you’ve never moved a couch down a staircase by yourself, take our word for it: it’s not a fun experience. You could injure yourself, cause expensive damage to the building, and potentially wreck your couch. If you think about it, you probably don’t want to start your new life at your new address with fresh injuries, a bill for building repairs, and a need to shop for a new couch.

So what’s the alternative to the alternative?

Hiring a moving company to pack and move your things is a lot simpler process than many people realize. If you’ve never moved before, it’s a good idea to call the moving company, tell them what and when you need to move, and arrange to have an on-site inventory done. This will give you the best information regarding the costs of your move, as well as how long it will take the professionals to pack and move your stuff.
