A moving service, full service moving company, relocating van or moving line is a private company which assists individuals and companies move their belongings from one location to another with the least amount of trouble. It provides all-inclusive services like packing, loading, transporting, unloading, arranging all things to be moved. Services offered depend on the type of relocation being made. Full time commercial packing services help individuals make the entire move themselves by providing trucks with packing and loading equipment. They also provide professional drivers to transport your household goods securely.

Household goods can never be replaced, but they can be transported from one house to the other. Moving experts always demand that the move must be undertaken with utmost care and safety, so that nothing is damaged and nothing is lost. Professional movers take special care in loading the moving van that takes the household goods so that nothing is left behind. Moving vans are provided with ramps to enable them to easily load large and heavy household items and they even have custom racks installed for protecting small appliances while being transported to the new home. For movable goods like furniture, they provide strong but padded benches to accommodate the furniture while it is being transported.

Other types of moving services are including packaging and storage. Many moving companies provide storage and portable moving containers which are specifically designed for long-distance moving. Portable moving containers are specially designed for long distance moving with better quality and larger size compared to standard moving boxes.

Moving experts do not suggest moving the household pets, but if you really want to keep your pet, you can hire a local moving service. Pets require special care and therefore moving services which specialize in moving dogs and cats (or any other animal) require special equipment like kennels and shelters. Pets also require a lot of care in terms of food and water supply and thus they require special moving service providers.

Household items require specific packing according to the type of item. The local professional packers are professional and well-trained and know how to pack each type of item. For instance, for fragile items like antiques and electronic gadgets, moving services ask the client to send the packing materials by prepaid mover.

There are two types of moving charges, the flat rate or the hourly rate. Flat rate moving charges are based on actual weight of the household goods and distance moving. So if you have a large moving package, you may need to pay more than the flat rate. In most cases, the hourly rate is slightly higher than flat rate movers charge. But as everything in life, there is a catch to every good thing. The catch here is that movers charge you more if you go over your estimated mileage.
