Philadelphia moving company’s tip how to obtain parking

By |2023-09-04T15:56:13-04:00December 8, 2022|Resources & Tips|

Parking for movers in Philadelphia can be very difficult to find especially if your residence or business is located in a heavy populated area of the region. This is why  Eastern Connection Movers a moving company in the Philadelphia region that has been in business for over 37 years specializing in office relocation  and out of state moves and some local services would like to give you these tips to help you along your moving process. Our company has seen it all when it comes to finding a parking space for one of our trucks as our team tries to park close to the place we are doing the moving job. These valuable Moving Tips  should help you and your movers find a way to get right up on your place where the moving job is being done without having to spend extra time going that extra long walk to load or unload your moving truck.

Tip One:  Call your local parking authority and reserve the spots in front or near your place a few days in advance of your move. This may cost you a few bucks but in the end it is worth it. Ask your mover how much space they will need to park their truck near your moving location. Upon paying the fee if there is any at all the parking authority will come out and place signs where your reserved space for the day of your move and this will require any vehicles there not to park there for the reserved day and time of your move so that your movers will have enough space to park the truck and move you and unload or load.

Tip Two:  If there is no parking authority or there is no fee nor any sign required to be placed to reserve a spot the best advice is to ask your neighbors and people whom park in near your moving location if they can move their vehicles so that your movers can park the truck to do your move. After the vehicles are moved place traffic cones or chairs , trash cans something in the loading or moving location to make sure nobody parks there. Keep an eye on the area that you have reserved for your movers to make sure nobody parks there.

Tip Three:  If there is no parking at all allowed for your moving truck by a city or town ordinance ask a neighbor or a friend ,building owner if you can reserve a spot in their parking lot for a flat fee if they require payment to reserve a space so that your movers can do their job as close as possible to your location.

Tip Four:  If you can’t get any space reserved close to your residence then the next best piece of advice is to have your movers park as close as possible to your location and go out and rent a pick up truck or van to shuttle your items to or from your house to the movers truck. By you renting this will save you time and money on the final cost of your move.

Tip Five:  If none of the above work then the only best next thing is to have your movers park the truck and have somebody out there watching the truck while the move is being done and if  somebody has to get out then the truck will have to be moved to work with others and their parking woes.

These tips are brought to you by Eastern Connection Movers contact us for any long-distance moving . We are a insured and licensed moving and storage company located in the Philadelphia region area that has been a trusted name for over 37 years. Contact us today hassele-free moving experience .

Proper way to pack your rented storage unit.

By |2022-06-10T16:28:17-04:00December 7, 2021|Resources & Tips|

We all know that some time in our lives when we need to move we will need to rent space to store our worldly stuff while we are the process of moving from one location to another. In this post we will tell you how to properly pack your rented storage unit. In this post our team was asked to help a client move their items into the pictured 17 foot rented truck along with a 6×12 enclosed trailer from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. Our professional expert movers went along for the trip in which they packed the both units and drove it down and delivered it into the 10×25 storage unit pictured.

The client called our  out of state moving company  because they were looking for experienced long distance movers to do the job right the first time as they were short on time. Our team in this pics of the storage unit shows how to exactly and properly pack your rented storage unit by first maximizing the space that you have rented because these rentals are not cheap and you as a client want to get the most bang out of your buck.

Its best to a you see start with the heavy items and work you way up to the top with lighter items and try to make each row square as can be. If you are low on blankets it’s  highly recommended here as what to do with glass items and mirrors being stored in a storage unit whether long term or short term. Remember it’s always better to rent a bigger unit then you need.

Having trouble finding a mover during this housing boom!

By |2023-05-22T15:05:42-04:00October 14, 2021|Resources & Tips|

During this recent housing boom where houses are selling at a rapid pace and the sellers are getting a lot more than their asking price it sure is a sellers market. Incredibly lenders are making loans at an incredible rate. The housing market hasn’t been this good for sellers in a long time. Lending rates are at the lowest in decades and this has been a boom for moving companies especially in the local moving market.

Most buyers are actually Cash buyers meaning they have more than 50% of the sellers price in order to purchase the property they are looking at. However, there are bidding wars for properties as I mentioned and this is where buyers are in fierce competition to out bid everybody else that is looking at the property to buy it with a much more than asking price winning bid. This is the good news now the bad news.

Sellers after selling their property are having difficulty finding a moving company to move them on the dates that they have to be out of the property that they just sold because movers are overbooked do to being slammed by the rush of work coming from the housing selling boom. Forget about moving yourself and finding a rental truck that is merely impossible to find any trucks to rent as they are out of stock for a truck to rent. The facts are clear before us as movers are slammed with work and one more factor the current difficulty for any employer to find an employee to hire as there are signs everywhere saying ” Hiring Now” and even offering sign on bonuses employers are offering.

The best solution that can be offered in this post to make sure you have a mover to move you whether you are looking for a long distance moving company or a local moving company.

1): speak to a movers in advance of your home selling in which I mean is to secure that mover even if you have to pay a deposit to secure that moving company to move you. If this doesn’t work then

2): Set your settlement dates around your movers schedule meaning you schedule your settlement date on a day that is after the day you move out. Now, your items may have to be kept overnight by your mover for delivery on the next day but, you will be moved out and your mover will not be able to schedule any other move for that truck and team that is moving you. Your mover will charge you a storage fee but pay it as you will be moved and will not be caught in a problem where there are no movers to move your home furnishings.

There are movers that are available to move your home furnishings and one mover we can recommend is Eastern Connection Movers at easternconnectionmovers.com . We hope that you have a wonderful move and that this advice is helpful to you.

By |2022-07-30T11:48:25-04:00November 20, 2020|Resources & Tips|

 

This method will make your move easier when moving with steps on your job.

Many self movers including many full service moving companies will from time to time run into a flight or two maybe three of steps because there is no elevator to use. This can be a very big obstacle to overcome especially if your move involves unloading or loading a big truck. Steps always make the move take more time to get completed. The following method will make the job easier and you”ll get it done quicker for certain!.

First,  The more help you have the faster you”ll get done.

Second,  Have 1 person to unload , the second person to move everything up to the top and third person to take stuff into the residence.

2 Flights or more.  Repeat the second step just have the second person go up one more flight of stairs. Heavy items should be carried up the steps by two helpers while third guy is unloading or loading. Finally, to make your move easier just place a hand truck up at the top floor so that it can be used to hand truck heavy items in. Put a blanket down on the floor where you”ll be unloading your hand truck to prevent scratches.

Our staff here will put you in touch with our lender who will simply ask a few  questions to see if you qualify for this pay over time loan.

You get if approved 0% APR and Terms up to 12 months of purchases of $ 150.00 Dollars or more.

It’s Simple:

1): Give our customer service line a call at (484)461-8685 or out of state (877)480-6683 or email us at customerservice@easternconnectionmovers.com .

3): Make it all yours: If you’re approved you’ll be issued a Digital card to pay for your move for our services.

Frequently Asked Questions:

A):  What is the installments?   The Installments are the amount you pay each month over the time of 12 month life of your loan.

B):  Can you make an early payment ?  The answer is absolutely.

C): Will this affect your credit score?  No if you continue to pay the amount that is due each month for the length or life of the loan.

D):  Are there late fees ?  You will never e charged a fee for a late payment, they do calculate interest based on your principal balance ( how much of the original loan is left to pay off ). So, if your payment is late and there is a past due principal, interest will be charged against that larger amount. Your interest rate will never change throughout the loan. And, unlike a credit card, they will never charge compound interest (i.e. interest charged on interest). Interest is only charged on the amount you originally financed
