When it comes to moving, one of the most daunting
tasks is to figure out the best way to take care
of the logistics of moving your stuff. Take care
of that, and no matter where you are moving -
from London to Paris, or moving from London to
Amsterdam, or moving from London to Berlin your
big change becomes so much simpler. Thats why it
is so crucial to find the right professional
movers who can take care of the logistic hurdles
while you focus on the strategic planning of your
big move. In order to pick the right moving
service, however, you need to keep a few things
in mind.

• Do your homework
• Choosing the right professional mover will help
  ease the wrinkles in your already stressful
  moving process. Ask friends for recommendations.
  Look online for reviews. Most importantly, speak
  to the professional moving service directly
  over the phone, or in person. A competent
  professional mover will be able to answer all
  your concerns, queries and guide you wherever you
  are stuck, confused or have special requirements.
  Doing your homework will save both parties a lot
  of heartache and friction later.

• Make sure your needs are met within your budget
• Last year, a friend of mine, Alyssa, was moving
  from London to Paris - and not being familiar
  with how professional movers work (this was the
  first time she was moving away from home), she
  did not pay attention to the fine print while
  signing up with a professional mover. The way
  professional movers work is that courier service
  costs a lot less than urgent, dedicated service.

Without paying attention to the terms, she
expected to pay cheap rates for urgent delivery.
When the bill came back, our friend was
flabbergasted. No ones mistake the
professional movers did a good job of the move,
however, Alyssa still felt like she was
short-changed. So make sure to take any budget
considerations into account before signing up!

• Get a written quote
• Another precaution that would have helped Alyssa
  in her situation would have been to get a written
  quote from the professional movers before she
  made her decision. This due diligence can also
  help clarify any discrepancies say, moving from
  London to Amsterdam costs a lot more than moving
  from London to Paris - and you need to know that
  before you sign up for a professional moving
  service. In fact you need to know exactly how
  much you will be shelling out to the professional
  movers.

• Enjoy the move
• Wait! Dont sit back and relax just yet make
  sure the professional movers have the right
  address, parking permits and any other relevant
  information or access they will need to deliver
  your precious belongings safely to their final
  destination. Also, make sure, you know who pays
  the penalties in case there is a problem with
  parking permits or there is a violation. Current
  industry practice is that professional movers
  have the right to forfeit any parking penalties
  especially if they were not sufficiently informed
  about parking rules at your destination
  beforehand. Okay, NOW, go ahead and enjoy your
  move!
