The Salvation Army and Target recently donated gift cards so that children in need could have a back-to-school shopping spree, and your Corpus Christi local movers are happy to hear the news! Children had a blast as they filled shopping carts with new clothing and school supplies. The shopping spree was a huge success and lots of fun for all who had a chance to participate. However, the Salvation Army still needs all the donations they can get now that back-to-school is right around the corner! If you are planning a residential move in Corpus Christi soon, you may find that packing is the perfect opportunity to find items to donate for families in need!

Corpus Students Hold Walk-a-Thon to Raise Money for Tech Equipment

Will Cosey — Thu, 10 May 2012 14:13:19 +0000

Roughly five hundred Corpus Christi Catholic School students held a walk-a-thon on May fourth, and raised over thirty thousand dollars! The fundraiser was geared to finance new technology equipment for the school. Students mailed pledge requests out to Corpus Christi residents rather than trekking door-to-door. Your Corpus area relocation specialist thinks that the mail method was a good way for the kids to conserve energy prior to the walk-a-thon! Thirty thousand dollars is a rather impressive grand total for the May Fourth event… ‘May the Fourth be with you’ indeed!

Your Corpus Christi movers are thrilled with the upcoming improvements that have recently been reported for local traffic intersections!

Data will be gathered from the majority of Corpus street intersections, which will be used to adjust traffic light intervals in order to reduce idling time vehicles spend as a result of red lights. This impending traffic efficiency enhancement is going to be a great change for all drivers in the Corpus Christi area, and especially for your professional movers! Everybody wins when these changes go into effect, everybody in Corpus Christi that is!

Your Corpus professional movers have you covered though. Our professional moving crews have seen aquariums both minimal in nature and extravagant. Your fish are just as serious of a concern to us movers as they likely are to you!

Modern Day Moving

Will Cosey — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 19:55:43 +0000

Where were you twenty years ago? What were you doing? What were you wearing?! For most people, the answers to questions such as these come accompanied by a blushing face. It can be embarrassing to remember how ridiculous we used to be years ago. Imagine how ridiculous we look and act now when compared to twenty years from today! To keep up with the pace of the times, we must constantly redefine the standard. Your local Corpus Christi movers are masters of modern technique when it comes to moving your property. You may think that there isn’t much that changes over the years in the moving industry, as do some less reputable moving companies. However; it doesn’t take too much observation to see what your professional Corpus Christi movers see.
As movers, we move your stuff. Stuff changes! Today’s high-dollar televisions show an excellent example of how products evolve over the years. New model TVs are far more compact, but nowhere near as durable as the televisions of yesteryear. The slightest of wrong moves can destroy a plasma television. Washers and dryers have also evolved over the years, and sometimes require locking pins to protect the suspension with which they are now equipped. Your Corpus area mover knows the proper techniques required to safely move your flat panel television, your new front load washer and dryer, and anything else you have because they pay attention to the times. Your local moving companies who fail to evolve with the times may no longer sport legwarmers and spandex, but they do still look ridiculous when on the job. And there is nothing funny about watching an old-fashioned mover struggle to move your modern belongings. So if you have new stuff, if you like your new stuff, and are hiring movers any time soon; remember how silly you looked in your parachute pants twenty years ago, and hire Corpus Christi movers who have moved on and moved up, as you have!

Need pick-up and delivery?

Will Cosey — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 18:16:03 +0000

Furniture stores are buzzing with consumers purchasing new dining room, living room and even bedroom pieces just in time for the holidays. Although the economy has shown gradual signs of improvement, people are still looking for ways to cut corners. When adding up the price of their purchase, delivery is almost always a fee consumers try to avoid. However, sometimes its not the fee as it is the delivery date. If you purchase an item today and expect it delivered tomorrow, in most instances a furniture store can’t comply. When you encounter this situation, consider calling a local Corpus Christi mover to pick-up your newly-purchased item and deliver it to your home. Pick-up and delivery can be same day or next day.

Do you want a precise moving quote?

Will Cosey — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 16:30:45 +0000

Below are list of questions your mover will ask. I’ve also included questions you should ask your Corpus Christi mover. Review the following and save:

What day are you looking to move in Corpus Christi? Supply the moving consultant with your moving date of choice. From time to time to time the day of the week you choose could determine a higher or lower hourly rate. Ask the consultant if you chose another day or time of the month would the rate fluctuate.
Which zip code are you moving from and to? Provide the moving consultant with the zip code of where your move will originate and also the zip code of your destination location. This information helps the consultant determine the mileage for your move. Some moving companies charge travel time from their building to you and from you. Ask about travel time.
Do you know the approximate square footage of your home? Give the moving consultant the square footage of your apt/condo/home or office. This helps in determining the size of the moving vehicle to send you.
How many bedrooms and living spaces are you moving? Furnish the number of bedrooms and living spaces (i.e. den, dining room, living room). This information also assists in determining the size vehicle and also equipment to bring. If you’re not moving every room, let them know.
Are there any stairs involved with your move? Let the moving consultant know if there are stairs involved in the move. Some moving companies charge for stairs, some don’t. Either way this helps them plan accordingly. Ask if they charge for stairs.
Are there any large fragile items that you will be moving? Notify the moving consultant of any large fragile items they will need to move for you. For instance, if you’re moving a piano, pool table, grandfather clock, large flat screens these items warrant extra special care. Some moving companies do charge extra for moving these items. Ask about it.

Details, Details, Details…Corpus Christi movers pay attention.

Will Cosey — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:04:32 +0000

When moving locally, across state lines or even cross-country it’s important to employ the services of an experienced Corpus Christi mover who pays attention to details. Going the extra mile to ensure your belongings are properly wrapped, packed and loaded onto the truck is what a detailed mover does. Naturally you’re more relaxed when you know your valuables are in good hands. Search for quality movers in your area, make sure they are able to handle the details associated with your move.

Several moving companies make promises, but aren’t able to deliver. Look at the feedback from their clients. Were they satisfied? Consider the reviews, plus the level of comfort you felt with the initial contact and then book your move.

Packing tips for your local Corpus Christi move.

Will Cosey — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:06:34 +0000

Packing is one of the most important parts of the moving process. You always want to make certain your valuables are secure for the duration of your move in Corpus Christi. The only way to do that is by following a few key steps.

The following moving supplies are necessary for your move: boxes, marking pen, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, scissors or box cutter
Dish packs are needed for your fragile items like dishes, china, vases and more. These durable boxes protect your valuables. You will still need to use bubble wrap and packing paper as well.
Pack your electronics in their original boxes. For items like art and mirrors, purchase adjustable mirror cartons from your Corpus Christi mover.
Books, files, and smaller, heavier items go in “book boxes” which are 1.5 cubic feet cartons.
Medium weight items (toasters, board games, toys, light non-fragile table and book shelf displays) are packed in medium, 3.0 cubic feet cartons.
Large, light items (stuffed animals, towels, bedding) should be packed in large, 4.5 cubic feet cartons.
Do not exceed 40 pounds per box.
Label each box and indicate which room it should go in. Mark“FRAGILE” and “THIS SIDE UP” as necessary.
Carry your medicines, important papers/documents, jewelry, and valuables with you.

If you are unable to locate packing materials, contact your local Corpus Christi mover.
