MONEY SAVING MOVING GUIDE
|
YOU DO THE PACKING / WEHAUL - Pay only for the help you really need!
OUR BEST SELLER...THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED...
THE CONCEPT
Most full-service movers are
over-priced; renting a truck is a hassle, and you are forced to drive a big,
bulky truck across the town. We have incorporated the price of a rental truck
and the comfort of a full-service company and made life easier for anyone who
is moving (both residential ang business). WeHaul.com @ Discount is committed
to providing you with a customized service,
that balances between the convenience of hiring an expensive
"guru" ($150.00+/hr) full service mover and the savings of
do-it-yourself operation.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
WeHaul.com @ Discount for All
Service is a
low cost, hassle free alternative to a truck rental. We save you time and money
by helping you move yourself. Moving with WeHaul.com @ Discount is fast, easy
and a lot less expensive than the full service alternative.
Our approach is simple: we do
what we do best. Namely: driving trucks around town and lifting stuff. We do
not offer packing/unpacking with this service.
Premium full protection cushion soft
furniture pads always on our trucks to protect your furniture. If you are willing to work with us, and
meanwhile save some $$$, then you've come to the right place. No long drive; No
worrying about the safety of your belongings; and best of all, it is
inexpensive. See your savings directly through our instant quote @ discount calculator. We load; We haul; You save - it is that
simple.
THE ADVANTAGES OF OUR
OPERATION
When was the last time you
drove a 14 foot truck? How reliable and safe was it? Or, how many friends you
can count on to show up at the right place at the right time to get the job
done. And what kind of a "favor" is moving? Big, or small? We can go on
with questions, but the answer by now should be clear: WeHaul.com @ Discount.
SKEPTICAL?
This is a new concept in
moving and a lot of people are skeptical. What we suggest doing is price a full
service mover, then call a rental truck company such as U-Haul®, Ryder® or
Budget® and then call WeHaul.com. We are sure that you will find that we offer
you the best service for the money. We will be glad to answer all of your
questions so please do not hesitate to call or e-mail us.

OFFICE MOVING GUIDE
|
|
One of the few events that may be more stressful than a residential move is an office move. Most people are totally unfamiliar with how to prepare for a corporate move; thus the process can be quite daunting and stressful.
Plan
The key to any move is to plan. WeHaul.com always arranges for a planning meeting with your coordinator prior to the moving date. The major goal in a corporate move is to be as time-efficient and as cost-efficient as possible. To increase efficiency, have a complete knowledge of what your new corporate location will look like. Know the dimensions.
Create a floor plan. Map out exactly where the furniture and equipment will be placed and where your workers will be stationed. After you have created your map, place a copy of it at the entrance of your office and on every floor. It may seem to be a tedious task, especially if you're moving into a number of floors, high up above, but this will save you a considerable amount of time, money and headaches in the long run. Such organization will keep the workers happier and more productive if they are able to continue business as usual.
Communicate
Inform all parties- employees, landlords, and movers, of every detail of the relocation process. It is important that you don't keep them in the dark. Be sure to diplomatically notify your mover of where each piece of furniture needs to be placed. It may be a good idea to place color-coded labels on each piece that needs to be moved; the labels could serve as a sign as to where each object belongs. Labeling is a key part of moving offices that is often overlooked. Be sure to label all equipment and furniture that is being moved. The label should be placed prominently on the package and should immediately and easily inform the mover of exactly where the package is to be moved.
Contents
The contents of desks, bookcases, shelving units, and lateral systems should be removed and packed separately. The contents of pull drawer filing cabinets generally should not be emptied. They should remain in their location, but be kept secure with either a lock or strong tape.
Technology
As technology develops and changes at increasingly rapid rates, the process for moving certain devices become more intricate. Certain technological devices may require special attention. If you are renting your equipment, be sure to notify your supplier. Failure to do so may result in a nullification of your rental agreement. Computers -- Disconnection and dismantling services may be required. Photocopiers - Empty all liquids remove extensions that may jut out and create difficulties. Vending Machines - Empty all items.
Waste disposal
In order to facilitate the move for all parties involved be sure to dispose of as much garbage as possible. If your company is fairly large, than you may need to receive permission from local authorities to place big waste containers on the site.
Elevator access
Inspect the new space beforehand and insure the elevators are fully functional, and that your movers will have access to all the floors that they need.
Miscellaneous
The most obvious things are also among the most overlooked. Here's a simple checklist:
-
Have a set of spare keys available at your disposal.
-
Obviously you'll need to get working right away, so be sure that your communication technology is ready to go- Internet connection, working phones and fax.
-
Make sure you have working electricity, as it will be quite hard to work in the dark.
-
Are the restrooms functional? Believe it or not, this is will be extremely important.
-
Are there any outstanding obligations that you may have in regards to your old office space? Has everything been properly handled
-
Don't forget to change your company stationery. You'll need to revise them with your new address and phone number, available for employees and customers alike.
-
What may be even more important is the communication between your business contacts and the post office. Make the necessary arrangements to avoid a pause in the contacts.
