Every now and then, life takes a new turn for us and we roll with it. Every time we move out, we usually spend a lot of time packing, calling someone to take all our stuff to our new home or office and then deal with all the heckles of settling in a new environment. There is no denying that it is a very long and tiring process. But it doesn’t have to be that way since we live in the 21^st century. Now, we have the convenience of calling companies who can professionally move our stuff from one place to another.

These companies are here to make our lives easier and more importantly, safely transport our prized possessions without any damage. Here is a list of the advantages of hiring professional movers:

• They are experienced
• They come equipped with appropriate tools for the job
• They know how to assemble and disassemble stuff
• They help in packing as well as unpacking the stuff
• They are cost efficient
• They are reliable and trustworthy

Movers like Red Mile Moving Inc. and Low Budget Moving have an all-in-one package that covers everything from start to the very end. It does not matter if you need to move from a house or an office building to another. When you hire these movers, they would come and pack your stuff. These movers have trained packers who can pack up all of your stuff in a fraction of the time it would take for you to pack your stuff by yourself. They will have their own transport which, for most of these movers, is heated so that your stuff remains in superlative condition. When they arrive at the destination, they will help you in assembling the stuff and some will also help you relocate the stuff to the desired places as well. This is the reason why you do not need to worry about anything when you hire professional moving companies like them.

These movers also provide the facility to store your stuff in storage lockers for a period of time. These lockers have optimum storage capabilities and can hold stuff equivalent to almost one and a half room. They have built in heating facilities just like their transport and would keep your stuff safe and in mint condition. That would honestly cost you money but it is a good service point when you have to move out immediately and are still finalizing the layout of your new office or house.

Factors affecting the Cost

Most of these movers are really cost efficient compared with other transporters. The average cost of these movers is $80 to $90 for two men and $100 to $120 for three men, per hour. When it comes to transport rates, rates vary depending on distance. For longer distances, the cost is obviously higher. The volume of items also affects the cost because as you might have guessed so more items mean more money for the movers.

For most of the major cities like Calgary, if moving locally, the average cost is somewhere around a total of $900. This cost includes the charges of men included and the charges of the transport. There is also an option for you to pack your stuff yourself so that you can save some money. If you want to move over a longer distance, then you should be willing to spend somewhere between $2500 to $5000, depending on of course, the size and the distance. (These prices are estimates only, and may vary depending upon your location and the time of the year)

Here is a tip: If you are planning to move in the near-future, try to move in the winters because the costs of these movers drop significantly during the winter season.
