			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most important aspects when it comes to moving is preparation. Everything is simply much more efficient if everything is ready on moving day. Of course, we offer packing and preparation services in addition to the normal moving rates. However, if you intend on packing yourself, and preparing before we arrive, there are several important tips for a successful moving day.</p>
<p>FIrst, be sure to have 95% of your boxes packed and taped when our crew arrives. While we are happy to help tape boxes, you can save time (and therefore money) by doing this before we arrive. If our crews have to stop moving furniture to tape boxes, it simply adds to the duration of the job &#8211; most of which are priced on an hourly basis. Of course, it is okay to leave three or four boxes untaped for last-minute packing, but the majority should be ready to go when we arrive.</p>
<p>Secondly, any disassembly you can do before we arrive will make the move go that much faster. Of course, let us handle anything difficult. But if you or spouse are the handy-type, feel free to do any minor or miscellaneous unhooking of table tops or beds. Again, we are happy to handle the job full-service for you, but we have learned over the years that many of our clients like to have everything ready when we arrive.</p>
<p>Also, feel free to remove pictures and mirrors from the walls. Our crews will blanket-wrap them for protection, but having them off of the wall, in one, organized area, makes the job more efficient.</p>
<p>The key to every move is efficiency. Whether large or small, any help you offer the crews is greatly appreciated and accepted. ALl of these tasks will help drive down the time  your job takes, thereby saving you money. We encourage all of our customers to prepare as much as possible, which also means getting a good night&#8217;s sleep. Rather than staying up into the wee hours of the morning packing boxes, plan ahead and try to get this work done before the last minute. If you do, your move will go off without a hitch,, and you&#8217;ll have saved both time and money.</p>
<p>As always, thank you for reading,</p>
<p>Mr. Move</p>
<p>P.S. Even though your preparation will lead to less revenue for us, we know the value of a happy client. Referrals are welcomed, rewarded, and greatly appreciated!</p>

		<title>Why Hiring a Mover is Better than &#8220;Doing it Yourself&#8221;</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the moving business, you meet lots of people. We hear hundreds of voices every week telling us the same things. Many of these customers express interest in the possibility of renting a truck, rather than hiring a full service moving company. Many people think that hiring a company is too difficult and want to avoid any potential surprises. I try to keep this blog from containing too much advertising, but it is true that our crews make your move extremely stress-free. We&#8217;ve all heard horror stories about various service providers like movers, plumbers, and contractors. But, this doesn&#8217;t mean that every company engages in these activities. We try our best to make every customer a raving fan. We work hard to ensure superior quality and exceeded expectations. A lot of people don&#8217;t realize that moving is as much of a skilled trade as any electricians or plumbers. When it comes to your possessions &#8211; and I&#8217;m not only referring to furniture, but the stories behind your items, you need an expert to handle them with care. Many people don&#8217;t realize that their items are worth much more than a dollar value. You simply can&#8217;t put a price on memories. At Mr Move, we treat your items as our own, handling everything with care an thorough attention to detail. If you add up the value of everything in your home, for most people, it far exceeds the value of your vehicle. But how many people these days change their own oil? It is the same with moving. You need an expert, a professional to take care of everything. Few people would trust their nephew to change the oil in their new car, so why trust the nephew &#8211; who of course means well, but lacks experience &#8211; on the other end of their prized china cabinet going down the stairs? It just doesn&#8217;t make sense. In addition, movers have responsibility and accountability. Above all else, make sure you hire a licensed, bonded company to handle your job. You would trust &#8220;chuck-in-a-truck&#8221; to change your oil. so you shouldn&#8217;t trust him to handle your move either. Especially on local moves, it can be tempting to try to save money and get friends together to help with the move. I can tell you of a hundred times I&#8217;ve had customers call because their friends bailed out at the last minute. Also, if your good friend drops and cracks your mirror, you can&#8217;t expect him to pay to replace it. A moving company with accountability is a must. At the end of the day, you&#8217;ll feel a lot more comfortable and a lot less stressful if you hire a professional.</p>
<p>At Mr Move, we are your neighborhood mover and will take care of your every need.</p>
<p>As always, mention the blog and save $25 on your next move!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The summer season has traditionally been the busiest time for local moving companies. With kids out of school and leases expiring, May-September are extremely busy months. However, moving during the winter can also be easy, if you take the necessary steps to plan and prepare for the big day. I have complied a few simple tips that can assist in your winter moving plans.</p>
<p>First, plan ahead. With any move, its important to have all of your loose items packed into boxes <em>before</em> moving day. Most of our jobs are priced based on an hourly rate, so anything you can do to decrease moving time will effectively save you money on your job. Some customers even elect to disassemble and reassemble their own beds, although we are happy to provide this service free of charge. In addition, we also offer packing services. In either case, it is important to understand that the key to a timely, efficient move is an organized, routine approach. Our movers provide the expertise and routine, and if you&#8217;re organized, your move will occur quickly and professionally. Be sure to securely tape all boxes closed to prevent objects from falling out. It may sound like a simple idea, but many customers in the past have left box tops open.</p>
<p>Also, make sure to have a plan for your pets. It may be too cold to leave dogs in the backyard during the move. Many of our clients prepare a bathroom or extra bedroom for the animals while the move takes place. Food and water bowls, as well as litter boxes for cats, make the job less stressful on the animals, and therefore, the homeowners. Other clients bring the pets to the new house before we beginning loading. Rarely, some clients even board the animals during moving day.</p>
<p>Lastly, hire a skilled and professional mover! When it comes to your possessions, there&#8217;s nothing more important than trustworthy, honest, and reliable crews. At Mr. Move, we are your neighborhood mover. We&#8217;ve been here for over 25 years and have built a reputation on satisfied customers and referrals. We treat our customer fairly and the impact is far-reaching. We understand that you can always find a lower price or a cheaper deal. At Mr Move, we emphasize that we will not be the cheapest company, nor the most expensive. We provide honest work at a fair and reasonable price.</p>
<p>For a free quote today, give us a call at 504-891-6683, email us @ info@mrmove.com or send us a quote request on the homepage.</p>
<p>Thank you for reading, and Happy Holidays!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>- Mr. Move</p>

		<title>3 Reasons to Move During November</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The majority of local moving occurs during the late spring/summer months. May, June, July, August, and September are widely accepted as the busiest time of year for local moving companies. While Mr Move is happy to accommodate you any time of year, we consider November to be the Perfect Moving Month. We have outlined 3 distinct reasons that November is a great month to move.</p>
<p>First, November weather is perfect for moving. South Louisiana receives very sparse rainfall during November, reducing the likelihood that your move could be delayed because of inclement weather. And, unlike other parts of the country, we almost never get any snow this early, if at all during the year. Of course, the biggest beneficiaries of November weather are the movers themselves. Don&#8217;t forget &#8211; these guys are human. When its August in South Louisiana, and 110 degrees, it affects the men. While our guys try their best to work as efficiently as possible, its no surprise that the overbearing heat can cause the move to take longer than normal. During November, however, cool winds make taking breaks an afterthought.</p>
<p>Second, the holidays are approaching. For most of us, the holidays are about family, friends, food, and spending time with the ones we love. What better place to celebrate than your new house! Ninety percent our of our moves take one day or less, guaranteeing that we can have you setup to serve Thanksgiving dinner with plenty of time to spare. What better way to show off your new house! Our moving crews will work hard ensure that everything is perfect for your big day. Perhaps you&#8217;ll even enjoy their company so much that you&#8217;ll invite them to be a part of the festivities as well.</p>
<p>Lastly, and perhaps the biggest reason to move during November, is our Holiday Blowout Special! During the month of November, mention this article, and save 10% off your local commercial or residential move. Remember, at Mr. Move, <em>your</em> satisfaction is our biggest concern. We strive to meet and exceed your expectations through our unmatched professionalism. Our crews are trained experts in the field and our office staff is kind, courteous, and helpful throughout the moving process.</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. Look for new posts every 2 weeks.</p>
<p>We look forward to serving you in November and beyond as &#8220;Your Neighborhood Mover&#8221;!</p>
