More Reasons to use Inside Moves

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Everyone LOVES to be APPECIATED……..

Move Woodland Hills to Topanga- Inside Moves thanks Asia and her husband for trusting our crew to handle their hillside move. David and the boys knocked it out in record time.  A small truck was a must for the Topanga delivery and still the boys had to march down a hill. This was a referral from Caldwell Reality.

Portable Storage unload to Pacific Palisades via Smartbox. Inside Moves thanks the Webb’s. They had to make room for their contractor’s to remodel their home. 3 months later were back moving in their new version. This is  one of our specialities in the Palisades area. Seems to be more remodeling then moving. We’ll take it!!!

Encino to Encino condo move to storage- Thanks to Susan to move her to extra-space storage. She was amazed at how much we got into her storage space.

Granada Hills to Northridge- Leticia was a referral from Pinnacle Reality and the Box Pro. Great customer from the get go, Leticia was ready to move from the first meeting on the  estimate. She was packed and ready to move and started and ended the day with a great attitude. Four man crew was greeted at the door with a big smile as Leticia and her son John helped finish up packing.

Leticia will be our first Utube testimonial. Thanks for making our day fun.

Senior move Chatsworth to Simi Valley- Inside Moves moved Joyce again to her new senior residence in Simi closer to her son. Toby and Chris made fast work of it, as the house dog followed them around the building.

Condo to condo Sherman Oaks to Van Nuys- Inside Moves moved Bonnie into her first house. Sunday move by special request, Bonnie called to say how pleased she was with the crew.

Unload PackRat Portable Storage in Thousand Oaks- Thanks Mike for thinking Inside Moves. The boys busted it out in a mini. Pack and Load Service by Inside Moves.

Move from Woodland Hills to the Versailles at Woodland Hills- Thanks to Rhonda At PS for  referring DR.J. We moved him from his house in Woodland Hills to the Versailles Apartments. Were waiting for his call to move back when his home is done.

Move from Hollywood Hills to Reseda and storage Northridge. Jared was  referred by PODS LA OPS Manager. This move started out as a pod job ended up a local move. Jared like everyone that moves, needed to save money. After working with him on several different solutions and waiting for the day to arrive the move went without a flaw. ( We were once PODS prefered loader, It’s nice that they still remember where to get the best service) 

That’s enough for now

Rains a Coming, El Nino’s here

Monday, December 14th, 2009

As a moving crew were going to do everything we can to keep your goods dry.

But it never hurts to leave a few old towels out to wipe off the drops that sneak through. We will pad the entry floors with pads but towels always are a good idea.

Keep DRY and if your a surfer or a skier watch the forecasts and plan your sick days accordingly.

Moving Day, what should you do first?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Unless you have a very small move, and even then the first thing you should do moving day is EAT!!!!

Moving day is loaded with lots to do and not enough time to do it.  So it’s very important your body has fuel to run on.

I tell all my crews they must be fed and ready to work when they show up in the morning. Moving is a tough job and even if your a spectator, so have the energy to last the job. If your job is an all day job  make you get lunch and keep hydrated. Don’t move on an empty stomach. This will also help keep your attitude positive through the day.

Moiving Hint #?? What about my cables and wires?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

The day of the simple TV disconnect and hook up is long gone. Today we have Plasma TV’s, DVD players, receivers,powercords, surge protecters, signal amps, speakers and all the X-box and other gaming devices.  Years back a plug and cable hook up was easy, now it’s a trade in itself.

If you are skilled in audio you can hook it up yourself or maybe you are lucky enough to have a friend. If not then you need to look for a company to breakdown or at least setup your system. Many times your cable company will set you up again depending on what you have going.

This brings me to my point, make sure you know where all your cables and cords are for the TV and the computers. The last thing you need happening is your cable guy showing and you don’t have the parts you need to complete the job. This can cost you time, money, and a lot of frustration.

If you have anything that’s going to bring your life to a screeching halt put it in a safe place where it will not get packed, moved, or misplaced. It’s a mover nightmare when a move goes perfectly only end up searching at the end after the bill is totaled. This goes double for checkbooks, creditcards and wallets.

Plan ahead put important papers, cords, car keys in a safe place.

Moving Hint #? What I do with pictures Moving Day?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

If your being moved by Inside Moves we will move your large pictures in a glass rack with a combination of pads and cardboard to protect it. Your small pictures should be packed or moved by the customer.

Please leave your pictures on the wall for Inside Moves to take when they are ready. Customers tend to think they are saving time by taking all the pictures down and putting them in the entry area. Pictures in the entry area create an obstacle for the movers. By leaving your pictures on the wall your movers can load them when their ready. This saves handling and the opportunity for damage. Remember the less things are handled the better chance they’ll make it in one piece.
