If you’ve been living on your own for a while, you know how this sort of independence comes with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. Moving alone can seem very scary for some, and invigorating for others – it all depends on what makes you comfortable.
The perks of living alone come in the form of doing whatever you want, choosing all of your own decor without worrying about anyone else, no roommates leaving dirty dishes in the sink, and a lot more. Drawbacks include maybe a little bit of loneliness, not having anyone around to open up really tight jars, and having to shoulder your bills on your own (instead of splitting them with someone else).
Depending on how you look at it, moving alone can also have benefits and drawbacks – it all depends on your view! For those maybe not looking forward to having to move on their own, we’ve compiled some great tips to make your move less strenuous and more efficient.
The best way to make a solo move an easy experience on your own is by hiring professional movers who will get your things where they need to go at affordable prices. The best option for you? Look no further than Hollander Moving & Storage Co. Not only is Hollander reputable and affordable, as well as an agent of United Van Lines, we have the resources and expertise to make your move any amazing one.
However, prior to living on your own, you may have had family or friends come to help you move places – your place was an easy spot, after all! However, now that you no longer live with people, it can be a little harder to coordinate schedules and see when people are able or willing to help you out. Another solution to this is by using Hollander Moving & Service Co.’s array of moving and packing services, which will give you a little effort, low hassle move.
When it’s just you making a move (especially a large one) you must make a proper budget to make sure you don’t spend more money than you have to. This practice also makes sure you control your spending more, and don’t spend too much money on one thing, and not enough on the other. Budgeting can look different for different people, just generally, you should budget in for these aspects of your move”:
As is the case with many moving jobs, it’s imperative that you’re not only getting the best deal and most efficient experience from your movers, but also to make sure that your movers are highly trained and experienced, and that your move is going to be affordable.
Additionally, you’ll want to make sure that the moving company you’re choosing to use has the time in their schedule or availability for you to hire them. Moves are often scheduled early, and many places will have your schedule at least 1 month ahead of your actual move in date.

Great experience with Hollander’s crew: Dominic R, Alex P, and Chris C. They were contracted (military move) to deliver some of our things that had been packed up and stored for a year, in a different location. They were professional and worked without complaints in the heat, placing our items carefully where I requested. They maneuvered a large, deep freezer down a tight staircase easily. They were thorough in helping me check to make sure all our things were accounted for, since it had changed locations/companies a few times before making it here. They were so helpful and courteous – I am very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend them!

The driver was the head of the crew, and he was on top of everything. He made the experience working with Hollander Moving a pleasure. We have used others before but it was our first time using Hollander. Everything turned out great.

Every employee I worked with was courteous, professional, and exceedingly competent. I was nervous about the packing and long distance move (from Illinois to New Mexico, October 2009) and Hollander helped make the move as smooth as possible. Not a thing was damaged or broken

I would recommend Hollander to any company thinking about switching vendors, and any family making a move. A Hollander rep even stopped by my new place when they were unloading just to check on things.
Wonderful service – first class!

Everything Hollander has done was over the top. It was courteous people, polite, caring. Their friendliness was over the top. There was one member of the crew who’d been a friend for 30 years, and the rest was family. I couldn’t say enough about them.

I recently moved from Chicago to Tampa and expected a few road bumps along the way but was pleasantly surprised when everything from loading to delivery was flawless. Everyone I came in contact with was very professional and knowledgable. I highly recommend Hollander Moving and Storage as they are a class act.

This move envolved packing and delivery to four different destinations. Attention to detail and coordination were vital and effectively executed by Tony R driver and his crew. Ardene did a great job coordinating everything. The entire group were both extremely pleasant and efficient.
