Carmack Moving and Storage says moving isn’t an easy task, nor is it one to enter into alone. The experts insist that relocating is stressful but there are ways to avoid moving day moodiness. Today, Rob Carmack, the President of Carmack Moving and Storage speaks with Interviews and News about how to eliminate anxiety and negate nerves on The Big Day.
Interviews and News: Good morning, Mr. Carmack, and thank you for speaking with us today. Can you tell us a little about Carmack Moving and Storage?
Carmack Moving and Storage: We are a family-oriented business, serving the Northern Virginia region since 1985. We provide moving, packing, and other relocation services.
Interviews and News: Are you strictly residential?
Carmack Moving and Storage: No, we often perform commercial and office moves.
Interviews and News: Can you tell us the biggest complaint you hear about the moving process?
Carmack Moving and Storage: The stress. It’s a very stressful situation even under the best circumstances.
Interviews and News: What do you think makes it so nerve-wracking?
Carmack Moving and Storage: One big factor is feeling like there isn’t enough time.
Interviews and News: For what?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Many people feel under time constraints to get to their new home and get settled immediately.
Interviews and News: Shouldn’t they?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Not if they want to have any hair left the next day! We suggest taking a few days to unpack.
Interviews and News: What about essentials?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Make sure to have those but beyond that, the board games, the off-season clothing, and the Christmas decorations can wait.
Interviews and News: What about moving with kids…that’s really tough, isn’t it?
Carmack Moving and Storage: It can be, but if you prepare them ahead of time they may feel more excited than anything. It’s still a good idea to have a helping hand if the child is very young,
Interviews and News: Does Carmack Moving and Storage move pets?
Carmack Moving and Storage: We don’t actually haul live animals so it will help moving day stress if you secure animal transport ahead of time.
Interviews and News: Do you have any advice about packing to make things a little easier?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Yes, let us do it!
Interviews and News: What about those that want to do it themselves?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Make sure to have enough materials to get it done right. No one needs the extra burden of running to the store for tape and boxes when they are trying to organize a move.
Interviews and News: Is it more stressful to move far away or within the general area?
Carmack Moving and Storage: It can be a long process either way. On one hand, moving far away means a level of uncertainty.
Interviews and News: And on the other?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Local moves are charged by the hour, which makes the one paying for it feel under more pressure than ever to push for a fast turnaround.
Interviews and News: Can Carmack Moving and Storage get an entire house moved in just one day?
Carmack Moving and Storage: Yes, especially if the client has his or her belongings packed and labeled well.
Interviews and News: What do you mean “labeled?”
Carmack Moving and Storage: It really helps things go smoothly to have each box labeled and marked as fragile, clothes, breakable, etc. Also, it really speeds things up to note right on the box what room they go into.
Interviews and News: We appreciate your speaking with us today; we look forward to getting additional advice from you in the future.
Carmack Moving and Storage: Our pleasure.
