Most family moves take place during the summer شركات نقل الاثاث بالهرم. This is because the summer is most convenient time for a family to move. Parents prefer to wait until after the school year is over before moving their families. The kids are out of school, parents on vacation and college students are on summer break.
At first glance, this makes a lot of sense. Let them finish the school year in their familiar and comfortable surroundings. What parent would want to disrupt their child's routine before the summer holidays have begun?
However, there are 3 major disadvantages to moving during the summer. Most people do not take them into consideration when the plan a move.
1. Summer is a busiest moving season. Prices are at their peak. Movers are aware that most families prefer to move in the summer. It's the only time when families can plan to move. Many movers double or even triple the price of moving during the summer.
For example, for a typical one bedroom home being moved from New York to California during the slow season for moving (that's October-December and February-April) would cost approximately $1500-$1700. During the summer peak season, the prices for the exact same move will range from $2500 to $3000.
If you are moving in the summer, our best advice is to book early as possible. In fact, book it during the off season, during the middle of the winter when prices are very low and moving companies are planning ahead.
2. Since the summer is the busiest season, movers might not be 100% dedicated to your needs. This is because movers can be like the airlines. They often overbook and that is more work than they can handle.
The best solution to this problem is to schedule and book your move some months in advance. Most moving companies will piggy back with each other and share trucks to fill up space. This way you will be first in line for the truck and for the moving dates you want.. The moving trucks schedule will be built around your needs.
3. Your move can turn into a stressful experience. The summer is a busiest season for moving. Many movers tend to hire extra help during the summer. Many of these people have little to no experience in moving شركات نقل الاثاث 6 اكتوبر. This can cause a verity of problems during your move.
In fact, most complaints about moving are from consumers that moved in the summer. They had a terrible moving experience that was avoidable.

A. Pick ups and drop offs of a customers belongings days or even weeks late. B. Damage to furniture and belongings by movers. Many of these movers had little or no insurance coverage and very little experience moving.
C. Outrageously high bills from scam moving companies who take advantage of consumers desperate to move during this period of time.
