If you are going to perform an interstate move, there are some additional moving services that you may wish to consider. Hiring movers, such as Capital City Movers NYC, is usually a must when relocating across states. But which services do you consider as "additional"? This article is going to shed some light on the matter.

Do you need additional moving services when moving out of the state?

If you have time to pack, a place to put your items at your destination, and no special items to speak of, you may not even need any additional services. Basically, talk with your movers and figure out if your desires and wishes are covered by the standard moving agreement. If they are, no need for any more services, is there?

What are the additional moving services?

Here are the most common additional services that moving companies offer:

  • Packing and unpacking
  • One of the additional moving services - Storage
  • Handling special items

One of the additional moving services - full packing and unpacking services.

Packing and unpacking

If you simply don't have time to either pack or unpack, this is a service that may come in handy. Let's say that you can't unpack all of your stuff in your new home but you have people coming over the next day. This calls for a service, doesn't it? Your movers can unload and unpack everything for you, at an additional cost. As this is something that people usually do for themselves, it is dubbed as "additional" and not covered in the moving estimate NYC. All in all, it is best if you can do it on your own but there are times where this service is worthwhile.

One of the additional moving services - Storage

If you, for one reason or another, don't have a place to put all of your items, you may need to consider renting a proper type of storage space. Depending on the items in question, and on the time that they need to be in the storage unit, you will have to make a decision between a regular and a climate-controlled storage. The major difference is that regular storage has air conditioning which only regulates temperature. Climate control regulates humidity. So, if you have items that are particularly vulnerable to any form of humidity, climate control it is. Otherwise, just about any other storage unit will do. Go for convenience.

Handling special items

Finally, any special items, such as a piano or a safe, require additional moving services. These items are notoriously difficult to transport from one state to another. There are simply many safety concerns and considerations. While you can try to move a piano on your own, if you wish so, it is really not recommended. The same goes for a large safe. There are good reasons why specialty items are called that way. They require special equipment and expertise for a proper move. And that is something that always costs extra.All in all, these additional services will cost you extra but they can make your life a lot easier.
