Why Cost Is Not The Only Thing To Consider When Hiring A Tampa Office Moving Company
06 Nov 2012
The hassle of moving your office location or setting up for the next big tradeshow can be as tough as year-end close or scoring the next big client. 
A disruption to your daily business routines can minimize employee morale, or worse, set you back on critical deadlines.
To ensure the integrity of your day-to-day service or product delivery, choosing the right company to move you quickly, efficiently and with little stress to the bottom line is key to moving your business along.
Whether your move is to a convention center, down the hall or a new location in another part of town, moving out and moving in is as important to your business as moving up.
Here are some things to consider when hiring professional office movers:
Materials and Equipment. Do your movers have the tools to move your office equipment safely and on time? Renting vans or trucks and special supplies to facilitate your move can devastate your moving budget. A professional company will have the materials you need to box, store and transport your valuable items.
Insurance. When researching your move, asking if the company and its employees are insured is essential. After all, protecting your investment is a crucial piece to a successful move. Equipment is expensive and costly to replace. What if an injury occurs during the move? Peace of mind is knowing your items can be replaced if damaged, or if injuries occur all parties are covered.
Equipment Setup. Disassembling and reassembling computers, printers, copiers and other electronic devices can be a tangled nightmare. Do your movers understand the importance of maintaining your equipment? Do they specialize in ensuring your technology is ready to go when you are?
What to pack and when. Moving is a huge project all of its own. Need the printer setup immediately? What about the archived files from 2002? Your professional movers will advise on box labeling for packing and unpacking efficiency as well the order to move those items you will need first.
Organization of files. All files are packed in order and unpacked intact and categorized.
Length of move. A professional moving service should be able to provide you an accurate quote on the length of time it takes to move as well as the cost to move you. If the movers take longer than anticipated, your budget is blown and the business isn’t up and running on time.
