So you’ve decided that you want to hire a removal company service. No matter kind of a move you are planning, there are removal services which have the perfect service for you. The type of service you hire is proportional to the price. A service where you ask for it all will cost a lot more than a service where you are just hiring a van. But did you know that there are in fact only two main ways in which your items can be removed and transported. This article aims to outline these two main ways and then focuses on removal containers specifically. The most common and well known method of transportation is by using a truck or a van. The method is simple: load all your possessions into the van or truck and you’re ready to have your possessions moved to the new desired location. Now this truck or van can either be driven by you, if you hire a do it yourself service. Similarly, if you wish, you can choose to hire a driver to drive the truck or van. The other method of transportation is via removal pods, also known as removal containers. Removal pods/removal containers are large storage containers. However, these storage containers do not only serve the purpose of providing storage, but also transport. These containers can be transported with your items inside them, making them ideal. All you have to do is hire a removal pod/removal container or multiple should you wish to and fill them up in your own time and at your own pace. However, you do need to keep in mind any deadlines that you have. When your removal pods are full and you are ready to have them transported, all you have to do is call the removal company service and ask for someone to come and transport them – it is as easy as that! The good thing about removal containers is that you get a chance to completely empty your flat, house, office or whatever it is that you are moving out of. This is an excellent way to double check that you have left nothing out. A truly empty space indicates that you have done your job right and missed nothing out. But removal containers allow you to do this, whilst protecting your possessions from rain, strong winds and even snow, since they are fully contained. Removal containers are also ideal should your removal dates be different to other deadlines e.g. if you are moving from one flat to another and your evacuation date is earlier than the date you can move into your new flat, you will need to find a place to store your items. Whilst family members and friends may offer a roof over your head for a while, very few people have the space (or desire) to offer your possessions a roof too! Simply empty your existing flat and keep the removal container at the site until you are ready to have them transported to your new flat. Seems so simple right? Removal pods are very safe, so you do not have to worry about your possessions. As stated previously, they are fully contained, thus offering protection from weather. They also have the ability to be padlocked, meaning that you do not have to worry about your items being stolen overnight etc. Removal containers are a very good idea and suit many people’s needs. Having all your items transported at one time surely takes a burden off of your shoulders and allows you to enjoy the experience of moving.
