Why Use a Full Service Third Party Company?
A Qualified third party company can accomplish all of the above services in
a single visit to the home. This reduces the scheduling nightmare incurred when
the moving company tries to contract out to as many as four or five tradesmen!
A moving company may have qualified in-house personnel but the demand for these
people during peak season is great. Are these personnel equipped with proper
tools and parts to complete the job professionally? Are they prepared for last
minute add-ons?
CLAIMS EXPOSURE - The moving
company can insulate themselves by using a third party service company. Below
are only a few examples of how to reduce a moving companies claims:
PROBLEMS DURING WINTER
with regard to frozen water reservoirs in the ice-maker system can cause expensive
appliance repairs in addition to potential property damage. The same problem
exists with washing machine pumps. Dripping faucets and ice maker water lines
can spell disaster if left uncapped. Our crews cap all lines.
WATERBED MATTRESSES are becoming a major problem for everyone.
High volume pumps must be utilized for draining waveless and baffle type mattresses.
POOL TABLES disassembly and assembly processes are very complicated. Damaged
playing cloth, cracked slates and broken and missing parts result when inexperienced
personnel handle them.
GRANDFATHER CLOCKS come in an infinite variety of styles and
designs and often are the prized possession of a family. Our experienced people
first identify the style, then employ the correct procedure to dismantle, secure
and pack the clock for safe transit. If the customer senses that the person
handling the clock is inexperienced, this can cause unnecessary anxiety and
stress for your client. The assembly procedure is equally crucial. Qualified
technicians are familiar with the intricacies of the movement. Leveling, setting
the beat and time adjustments should not be left to inexperienced personnel.
Upset shippers and added expense are usually the result of a failed clock set
up. Items that require disassembly and reassembly are better left to third party
companies with nationwide capabilities. Operation and condition reports are
given at both origin and destination. This further limits the moving companies
exposure to claims by letting the burden fall on us. Swing sets and expensive
wall units these days are becoming increasingly difficult. Can the moving company
afford to lose two key employees for a half or even a full day on one of these
units? Add in the headache of missing or broken hardware, on large wooden swing
sets, and you get the picture.
WOODEN CRATING - How many times have your packers returned
to the warehouse with a crate that was too small or designed incorrectly to
accommodate the item. The time, labor and material wasted in this situation
can add up quickly. Let the third party company do the crating. Third party
servicemen do crating on a daily basis and are adept at designing crates with
the proper tolerances and packing techniques. On-site construction results in
a crate with a perfect design.
