Traffic is back in session, time to move

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:24:21 +0000

Ever since school has been back in session, commuters like you have had to leave home earlier to get to work on time. On global news last night, one woman admitted she now has a 2 hour commute to get to work! When you start to really add up the costs of fuel and time on a monthly basis, you may be shocked to discover you’re not saving any moey by living in less expensive neighborhoods.

One reason that many people choose to move is to avoid the commute to work all together. Imagine living just 5-10 minutes drive to work. Now stop dreaming and start planning. You can budget how much more rent will be and you may find that when you subtract the hundreds you spend in fuel, that you may break even moneywise.

Additionally, you may also find that you have more time. More time to spend with your kids, more time to spend with your spouse or significant other. More time for life.

The next time you’re in traffic listening to the accident reports, consider a move that will save you money and time. When your looking for a moving company to get you there, consider Ferguson Moving and Storage to help. We will send out to you a trained and professional moving consultant who will guarantee you an accurate estimate in writing.

Furthermore, with Ferguson Moving and Storage, there is no travel time charges to or from your move. In fact, we have no hidden fees at all. We also have no fuel surcharges in effect.

We want your business and we want to earn it.

Sincerely,

Lorne MacInnes

When something goes wrong on your move

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:01:17 +0000

We’re all human. Everyone makes mistakes…It’s a cliche but it’s still very true today. With all modern wonders, we humans still make mistakes. Moving and Storage is a tough business in some ways because as a company you’re responsible to move everything people own and make no mistakes.

This contradicts what we know about people in the first place. At Ferguson’s we spend a lot of time and money training our staff to do things correctly. Of course this is true 99% of the time. When mistakes do occur, that’s actually when a company has a chance to shine or run. Many times as consumers, we just want what is fair and reasonable to satisfy our needs. It’s always nice when we actually get more that we hoped for. With movers, it’s no different.

When something goes wrong on a move you want the company to remain approachable and get it fixed. At Ferguson’s we commit ourselves to acting quickly on any claims to get them resolved fast. In Fact, we don’t have that many so it’s pretty easy for us.

This is something to consider when choosing a moving company. You need to find out if they are insured, do they resolve disputes Check BBB, do they have an approachable manor when dealing with any concerns about the estimate? You may also want to visit the companies office. A slick website may just be a fake setup to convince you the consumer that you’re dealing with a legit company. In fact, they may just be selling your jobs to outside bidders without telling you. If that happens and you have damages, you may find yourself alone because the pasing the buck games begin.

It’s your home and everything you own. Don’t look just for the company that promises a perfect move. Part of your selection process should be selecting a mover that is approachable if your not happy too.

Read some online reviews on epinions.com. There are a lot of sad stories about bad moves. What you should also look out for is the part of each story when the consumer contacted the company to try and get their issue fixed. That’s generally when things go from bad to horrible experience.

Call now 604-922-2212 Moving in the heat requires water

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:34:54 +0000

When our staff move in Vancouver, they are used to moving in almost every kind of weather. Rain, snow, wind, sleet, hail and heat! When it’s cold, movers can dress warm and when it’s raining they can shrink wrap all of the furniture to keep it dry.

Lately, there has been a heat wave for the movers to work in. Incredibly hot weather can leave a person dehydrated in minutes. Especially when they are working so hard like our movers do. Carrying sofas, beds, dresssers, appliances and pianos up and down flights of stairs all day.

We have many water cooler bottles in our warehouse and when a heat wave comes in, staff are encouraged to fill up their water bottles as much as possible. During the moves in the range of only 6 hours movers will generally need to consume 2 – 4 litres of water just to stay hydrated.

When you’re moving in the heat this summer, please keep as much water around as possible and don’t forget to water your movers. =-)
