Facility in Williams Lake
Are you in the process of moving? During a renovation or repair job at your home, you need to downsize your valuables to fit into a smaller apartment. Perhaps your business needs are changing and you need a space to store your excess office furniture, files, printers, and/or computers while you re-evaluate and renovate your office.

Whether you’re planning your first move or haven’t moved for many years, long-distance relocation can be an exciting yet somewhat stressful experience. You have probably already realized that there’s so much to do and so little time. There can be many personal considerations too.
At the same time, your move is most likely associated with an opportunity: a promotion, a new company, the chance to assume greater responsibility or a new locale with a brand new lifestyle. If you happen to be a first-time mover, there are probably many questions that you need to be answered. Even the most experienced transferees have questions, as an ever-changing way of life poses moving problems that didn’t exist years ago.We want to help you plan your move properly to make your relocation as exciting, rewarding, and stress-free as possible. Whether you are moving across town or across the country, our knowledgeable and experienced team is here to help you. We know that all moving jobs may not be similar, as no two families or commercial facilities will have exactly the same furniture.
One-stop Shop for All Packing Materials in Williams Lake
Moving can be a stressful, tricky business, but it doesn’t have to be. Carefully organizing and packing your personal possessions is absolutely necessary to ensure their safe transportation and storage before, during and after the big moving day. At Blakes Moving & Storage in Williams Lake, we provide packing materials to help secure your valuables during a move, including:
Variety of cardboard box sizes
China boxes
Mirror cartons
Picture boxes
China barrels (double-ply cardboard)
Wardrobe boxes
Packing paper
Local (intrastate) moves are generally based on a per-hour cost for the personnel and
the number of vehicles that the mover provides (up to a certain distance, with longer
distances based on the weight of your shipment and the mileage it is transported) and the
level of liability that the mover will cover in the event of loss or damage is generally
less than would apply for an interstate move.
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
