Dubbed the birthplace of basketball, Springfield is one place to behold. Aside from being globally renowned as the place where doctor James Naismith invented basketball, Springfield is the third largest city in Massachusetts. As cool as all this may sound, there is much more to Springfield than these infamous facts. So, if you are moving to Springfield MA, you are in for an amazing ride!
Moving to Springfield is, however, just like moving to any other city – you have to partake in the relocation. This process is difficult and stressful and should not leave the forefront of this subject. Yes, Springfield is nice and offers plenty to both single, young people or people with families. But before you can hope to enjoy Springfield we first need to talk about getting you there. Do not be afraid though, this is not some impossible task. Far from it, really. It is just a tedious task that has many surrounding elements that you need to worry about. Still, if you follow a few tips and tricks, you will be able to start enjoying Springfield MA in no time! So, let’s get to it.
Moving to Springfield MA – the relocation
Each relocation has several elements that dictate how successful it is going to be. But, before that, we need to understand that two approaches people have to move. And if you would like to learn how to avoid the 10 biggest moving mistakes, you can get our book here: https://www.amazon.com/Huge-Mistakes-Avoid-When-Moving-ebook/dp/B07QD2BKFX/ref=sr_1_1?
The first approach is called DIY – Do It Yourself. This approach is something that we almost always strongly advise against. On the other hand, we strongly advise against letting your moving company do everything for you. Unless, of course, you can afford it without any issue, then yes, the best possible thing that could happen is that a moving company takes care of absolutely everything for you.
Still, for the common person, the best thing you could hope for is to have somewhat of a blended approach. A perfect mix, so to say. This would include you both doing some things on your own as well as hiring professional moving assistance to take care of the rest. In the case of moving to Springfield MA, local movers will be the go-to team.
The mixed approach
This mixed approach is the perfect balance of purchasing moving services and doing stuff on your own. This means that you would be paying a professional moving company to do all the things that are somewhat risky, whereas you would be taking on all the things that are easy to do and risk-free. This could make moving to Springfield MA almost trouble free. Some of the best moving companies Boston will advise for you to take this path for your move.
But, how do you know which ones you should do yourself, and which ones should be left for other people to do?
Doing on your own
The best possible thing you could do on your own is packing. Personally, I can never see packing as something I would want to let strangers do. They are not strangers, they are moving professionals, and I am aware of that. But at the end of the day, they are strangers. You shouldn’t want strangers going through your most intimate belongings. Those are for your eyes and hands only. Secondly, if other people do your packing for you there is a strong possibility that you won’t be able to find your stuff once you reach your final destination.
Since you did not participate in the process you will not know the naming or boxing convention used. This means that you could end up wasting extra time looking for things you need as soon as possible. If you were the one packing your boxes, you would have known exactly which items you need as soon as you reach your new home, and which other items can wait a bit more. This way you will lose as little time as possible when the project of moving to Springfield MA is done.
Let your movers handle…
On the other hand, there are some things you really want your movers to handle. Everything that requires carrying heavy, robust items around should not be done by you. You do not have the training nor do you have the proper tools for the job. This makes you less qualified than any other moving company out there. And this is precisely why you should entrust this to a professional. As folk would like to say – don’t be a hero.
Moving professionals have incredible equipment and even better training that helps them make the relocation seem easy. But, believe me, it is not. Still, the thing you want to avoid is the risk of getting hurt or damaging your belongings. Both of these are highly likely if you are doing stuff on your own. Another thing you should not be worrying about is the transportation of your items. Moving companies have specialized vehicles that allow them to take care of everything with easy. Their trucks have been set up in a way where they can facilitate transport of large furniture over short or long distances. It is highly unlikely that any of us own such a specialized vehicle.
Moving to Springfield MA – summary
In summation, moving to this beautiful part of Massachusetts is not difficult if it is planned right. Do accept our advice and do some of the things on your own, whilst you entrust other things to professionals. You will soon realize just how much this helps the entire process.
