Chances are if you click on this article, you are thinking about moving and wondering,…
Whether you’re moving into a new apartment or house, the job is a stressful one—especially when you’re on your own. It’s much more convenient to hire a moving crew to help you and it doesn’t have to break the bank if it’s planned out correctly.
Some people make the mistake of hiring a crew that’s either too large or too small for the space they’re moving into. Many problems can arise when this happens, so we’ve got some friendly advice to help.
House Versus Apartment: How To Make It Smooth
2. When in doubt, hire 3 rather than 2
If you’ve got more space in the apartment, you may not be sure how many movers to hire. It may feel counterintuitive because many of us are looking for the best savings, but often if you are unsure whether it’s a job for two or three, then it’s a job for three. Usually, the only way to save money by hiring two movers is if they can get the job done in four or fewer hours.
Adding the third mover increases their efficiency by double, rather than just 33%. That means a two-man crew takes around eight hours to accomplish what a three-man crew can get done in half the time.
With a three-person crew, two of the people can do the heavy lifting while the third is able to efficiently stack and arrange the moving truck to maximize space. This type of ‘relay’ is more difficult to achieve with only two movers, causing the job to take longer (and therefore cost more money).
