Ferguson Movers in Vancouver adds Cleaning services!

Thursday, January 17th, 2013

When you are getting ready to leave the house you called home for so long, there’s a good chance you will want the new owner to enjoy what you left behind. Almost a feeling of moving into a 5 star hotel (minus the furniture of course!)

Many times customers will attempt to clean their own home. Oh, and they will pack their own boxes. And don’t forget they are moving fragile items over themselves too. Oh and they also are going to host a big moving out party with 15 close friends… By the time these things come to pass it’s normally too late to find help. Things that sound achievable in theory often crumble with all of the curve balls selling a house can throw at you. Such as the subject to inspection discovering the gutters are clogged and the attic is short on insulation.

If you still want to clean yourself after the movers are gone, we have made a handy checklist you can print off. Or you can get a flat rate from us to clean your home or just a few rooms and you will see the checklist we use for ourselves.

GENERAL / FOR ALL ROOMS CHECK & INITIAL
Air conditioner / filters and air vents
Carpets – vacuum and remove small stains
Ceiling fans – wipe down and dust up top.
Cobwebs – remove and wipe down area
Cupboards, closets, shelving – leave empty, wash & dust shelves and front panels
Doors – wipe fingerprints and shoe marks
Light Switches – clean off
Floors – tiles and hardwood / sweep and mop
Light fixtures dust-clean and replace bulbs as necessary (if available)
Windows, clean and wipe inside and out where possible
Window blinds – dust and wipe

Ferguson Moving and Storage Radio Campaign

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Have you heard your favourite Vancouver Movers on the radio lately?

Today marks the start of the final week of the Ferguson Moving and Storage radio campaign. For the past six weeks, we’ve been featured on some of the top radio stations here in the Lower Mainland.

-          103.5 QMFM

-          93.7 JRFM

-          CKNW News Talk 980

-          AM 730 All Traffic, All the Time

The support we’ve received from everyone has been great! Both existing and potential clients have been contacting us to book moves, but also to let us know they love hearing our radio commercials on the air. We tried hard to push the emotional aspect of the moving and storage process during the campaign. We wanted everyone to know that when they use Ferguson Moving and Storage, you can trust that you will receive the highest level of professionalism start to finish. We are constantly trying to differentiate ourselves from the average Vancouver mover… hopefully this came through.

Over the coming months you will still hear us on AM 730. In the future, I’m sure we will be back on the air considering how well things went this time!

Moving in the winter saves money

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Have you ever wondered which is the cheapest time to buy various things? The best time to buy a new set of skis is in the spring, the best time to buy a new sofa is in the fall when the new models come out. The best time to buy a car is when the manufacturers ship the new models. With moving, there actually is a cheap month to move if you’re on a budget. The lowest cost time to move is January and February of each year. These are always the slowest months for moving and it’s the time when moving companies reduce rates to obtain market share. Talk to your moving consultant about the Ferguson Moving and Storage winter specials available now.

Stressed with a million moving questions

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

After deciding to move half way across Canada one of our soon to be customers didn’t know where to start.

She was leaving a “tense household” with a toddler, she was young, and had no idea what to expect.

The internet was her first step in finding a reputable mover.. After some searching she came across Ferguson Moving and Storage.

After a quick phone call she was able to understand that her move would be based on the weight of her goods and the distance of her move.

Not only that, but she had a car to move as well.

The inside sales team explained to her that an in-home estimate would give her the most accurate quote.

One of our skilled moving consultants Trevor Kennell went to visit our customer.

Feeling a little embarrassed letting a stranger into her home to see her “family drama” she felt relived with how professional and caring our moving consultant Trevor was.

With confidence she booked the long distance move with Ferguson.

Now all the questions, and all of her uncertainties, came to mind.

I must have received a call from her every other day until she was at her final destination.

“Should I empty my desk drawers?”

“When do I pay the movers? The driver just told me I had to pay before he would leave the province, do I pay him or pay you? And how do I pay?”

“Can I store everything there?”

“Um, I have to change the pick up date for my car. How do I do that?”

Life was uncertain and the use of her car was important. Before that car left this province we had changed the pick up date 3 times.

In the end she was thankful to have Ferguson Moving and Storage there to walk her though this experience with patience and care from the initial call to all of the changes that were made.

We all wish that evey move was a happy one. However, we also recognize that life happens and when it does it could result in a divorce move, stressful move due to illness, or relocating because of a reversal of fortunes or many other things.

If life does happen to you, isn’t it great to know that you can find a moving company that is compassionate, caring and understanding?
