Getting Ready to Move Once Summer Starts?

It is hard to believe that Summer is just around the corner; but it is!  And like many Americans you might be considering moving once the kids are out of school.  Whether it is because you simply want a new home, relocating for a job, or just want to be closer to family; the team at White Glove Moving & Storage has some great tips to share especially for relocating out of Florida.

As an agent for National Vanlines, we take great pride in our ability to make moving easy no matter the distance but when moving out of state it requires some additional planning that is not needed when doing a local move. Here’s a couple of things we feel are important to share as you begin to plan:

Benefits of Using White Glove Moving & Storage

Wouldn’t it be great if everything always went according to plan? But does it?

Of course not! That is why when closings get delayed or construction is slowed due to weather, the team at White Glove can adjust and ensure all your goods are kept safe until delivery can be arranged.  Can all movers do that? No, because they typically have only a few trucks and if they are booked out all your items have to get off the truck and the more handling done can often lead to the possibility of more damages incurred.  Furthermore, with White Glove having only full-time, trained and background checked employees; we know no matter your must have date of delivery we will have good men on-hand to do the job right.

Speaking of storing items, at White Glove we offer full service storage solutions that make sense. We only charge for the amount of space that is being used and we offer pro-rated rates so you are only being billed for the length of time your items are stored with us. Better still, we provide inventory barcoded tracking for all items we take into possession allowing you the ease of having things delivered out of storage if requested by simply referring to your list. For those moving to Florida and the Treasure Coast area from out of state, should you use a different carrier and have them deliver to White Glove for your storage; we can use our check-in system to ensure we have everything you sent down. The facility is full of loading docks able to handle trucks of all sizes and is climate as well as humidity controlled while being a fully secure warehouse so you know your goods are safe and protected.

Additionally, it is important to know that you have a company who is always looking out for your best interests.  At White Glove, we know if you are moving just a few pieces a great distance it can be more cost effective to ship those goods using our sister company, Pak Mail Beachside, instead of having those select items “moved” by the mover.  Or perhaps you want some stuff sent to family members in another state but the rest is coming with  you; we can arrange and price for all that without you having to go through the hassle. When onsite performing our free estimates we can help decipher what is going to be the best solution for your needs.

As previously mentioned, our men are fully background check, trained and undergo ongoing training throughout the year. We take great pride in the caliber of crews coming into your own and ensure there will be peace of mind every time when choosing White Glove to perform your move.

Help Getting Stuff Home

Have you ever fallen in love with a table, dresser or chair that was just too big to fit in your vehicle? Many have and that’s why White Glove & Pak Mail Beachside have created flat rate pick-up and delivery services whether it is just one man needed for the job or two.

For just $50 an hour for one guy or $95 for two we will get your item(s) from wherever you bought it throughout the Treasure Coast and deliver it to your home. Even place it in the spot you see fit; take out the old too should you want.  Time over the hour will be billed at 30 minute increments but you have you peace of mind in knowing the job will be done right by licensed, insured professionals.

501clipped
