Moving to a new city or new neighbourhood is an exciting and fun time in your life, especially your destination is Toronto. You\u2019ve found your new apartment and all your preparations have been made, but you\u2019re not sure if you want to get your friends and family to help, or hire a moving company.<\/p>\n
Sure, exchanging beer and pizza for your friends\u2019 trucks and muscles sound appealing, but the fact is that friends aren\u2019t just unreliable \u2013 they\u2019re lazy. Based on experience, chances off they\u2019ll take off with the beer and pizza before the move is done.<\/p>\n
Moving companies cost more than a large pizza and a 12-pack, but it\u2019s worth it. Here are 4 reasons why you should take the plunge and hire movers.<\/p>\n
Even though you think you don\u2019t have a lot of stuff, you definitely have a lot of stuff. Most moving experiences take at least a full day, if not more, and by the end of it, everyone is exhausted. With friends, you\u2019ll be organizing people, keeping everyone on track, and putting in your fair share of effort.<\/p>\n
The great thing about hiring movers is that they do this on a daily basis and they know the best ways to be as fast as possible. Get your stuff settled down and packed away, then leave it to the pros. Remember, your time should be spent wisely, just like money.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve all had friends we\u2019ve helped move, only to get a hearty \u201cthank you!\u201d or maybe a dinner out of the deal. The older you get, the less likely your friends will be to step up and provide you with labour for free. Even borrowing a friend\u2019s truck on the weekend becomes a bit of a tough ask. If you pack up with your friends and let movers do the rest, you can open up a bottle of wine and make a fun day of it. It\u2019s when you ask your friends to move sofas for you \u2013 that\u2019s where the drama happens.<\/p>\n
Not all of us are jacked like Chris Hemsworth; some of us need help with the big things, and not all of us can get the help we need to move everything we have. Moving is a very tiring and physically (and emotionally) demanding process, and most of us rarely hit the gym. Save yourself some sore muscles and a thrown back and just hire people who have done this hundreds of times.<\/p>\n
If you have important valuables or sentimental keepsakes you don\u2019t want damaged, it\u2019s better to trust people who have been hired to transport expensive art or delicate china for a living. Your best friend might be a super nice guy, but he might not be all that careful. It\u2019s always better to pay a bit more now than have a bunch of broken stuff at the end of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
