Q: Why do movers wrap furniture in plastic?

• <div><p>Movers wrap furniture in plastic to provide protection during transportation or storage. Plastic wrap acts as a barrier, safeguarding furniture from dust, dirt, moisture, and potential scratches or damage. It helps to keep upholstery, wood, or delicate surfaces intact, preventing wear and tear during the moving process. Additionally, plastic wrap helps to secure loose components of furniture, such as drawers or doors, reducing the risk of breakage.</p></div>

Q: How do you downsize when moving cross-country?

• <div><p>Focus on decluttering when downsizing to move cross-country. Selling, donating, or recycling unwanted items early in your moving process is key to your success. If you are on the fence about some items, consider storage options, or you can ship these items separately to lessen your load.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to move a one-bedroom apartment?

• <div><p>Professionals can typically move a one-bedroom apartment in three to five hours. It will take longer if you have many belongings or the destination is far away. The time will also increase if the movers must handle large and cumbersome items, like full sets of dressers and antique wood furniture. DIY moves take significantly longer, typically lasting a full day or more. </p></div>

Q: How far in advance should I book a moving pod?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to schedule a moving pod two months before your moving date. This should give you enough time to secure the correct size and number of moving pods you need. It&rsquo;s often possible to book moving pods on shorter notice, even within one week, but there&rsquo;s a higher risk of local pods already being taken, especially if you&rsquo;re moving during the summer or on a holiday or weekend.</p></div>

Q: How do I hire a qualified moving company?

• <div><p>Since mirrors are fragile, it&rsquo;s important to find an experienced moving company that can properly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/top-10-items-damaged-when-moving.htm">move fragile items</a>.
