Alabama Tornado Claims in the Billions

birmingh — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 16:45:50 +0000

The past tornadoes of April 2011 were not only a huge hit to residents, buildings, and homes, but also to insurance companies. So far, insurance companies have paid about $2.2 billion in claims–and there are over 2,500 claims left unsettled.

Claims range from houses to cars, businesses and other personal property. Once settled, industry professionals believe that the totals will tally around $3 billion. Moving on from the unexpected Alabama catastrophe has proven easier said than done.

Your Birmingham movers know the huge impact that the tornadoes had on local businesses and families alike, and we hope that those seeking financial compensation and relief from damages will receive it soon–it’s coming up on a year since the tragedy, after all. Here at All My Sons Moving & Storage, we hope 2012 brings prosperity and safety to the Birmingham area and beyond.

When you picture your moving day, what do you worry about most? The answer to this question varies from person to person; for that matter, during your move your answer can vary from phase to phase. Let’s face it, there is nothing fun about moving aside from picking out your new place and celebrating after your relocation is over and done with –finally! Lifting heavy furniture may top your list of “least favorite moving tasks” along with packing and unpacking boxes. Granted, moving is not the most fun experience, but if you spend time you should use to plan your move dreading the inevitable moving day, you really will have a miserable experience. Planning for a successful move day is easy, and when you break everything down into simple steps, you begin to realize that your moving day won’t be so dreadful after all!

For your Birmingham move, you should have a few goals in mind; spend as little money as possible on your move, adhere to any deadlines relevant to your move, and not breaking anything!

Your new home has been secured, and everything has been finalized except the process of getting there. And you say, “What’s the big deal, I’ll just move myself.” Well before you make that decision weigh your options. If you choose to do the move yourself, you can run into some very hairy situations. The big deal is, if you moved your items yourself you could possibly damage them. Secondly, there’s a lot that goes into moving. Are you prepared for the required packing, loading, moving, disassembly and reassembly? At the end of the day, hiring a reputable Birmingham moving company to expedite your move is a lot cheaper than doing it yourself. It is a big deal, so like they say with stunts you see on television, don’t attempt this at home, these guys are professionals. Leave it to your professional Birmingham movers.

Check your Birmingham Mover’s Grade with the BBB

birmingh — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 15:51:55 +0000

As a child I remember a couple of tense report card times. These situations were due to me not making the grade. Believe it or not, there are movers who don’t make the grade. Those are the ones you want to stay away from. When you begin searching for a relocation company check out what others are saying about them. Feedback posted on the company’s website, and other sites like yelp will offer guidance into the level of customer satisfaction consumers have received.

The Better Business Bureau is another great resource. The BBB holds moving companies to a pretty tight standard. You can simply enter the name of the moving company in their search database and a profile will appear with their grade and postings about their services. Beware, if a Birmingham mover is not listed, that’s neither good nor bad. Some movers are removed at their own request.

Making a job shift this fall?

birmingh — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:29:26 +0000

As you begin to focus on the best way to transition to your new environment it’s important to secure a corporate relocation team to manage your move. Nothing is more stressful than attempting to move without the proper support. Undoubtedly moving is a bear all by itself, but moving to a new city can be worst. Hiring an experienced corporate relocation team alleviates the stress and strain from your move. Your Birmingham corporate movers typically assign a moving coordinator to supervise your entire relocation. This individual(s) will serve as your one-stop-shop for your moving needs.

Some corporations ask if you have a preference on a moving company, others may have a preferred van line they use. Either way there are some common threads that must exist for you to have a successful move.

Employers require you provide them with moving quotes in writing. Many recommend a certain amount of moving quotes for their review. Find out your requirements and begin to pull together your moving estimates for submission. This can be accomplished via phone for small apartment moves or an in-home estimator can come out for an appointment and conduct a full needs analysis of your home.

As you review your needs with the moving coordinator make sure you inquire about the moving services that are included in your cost. Sometimes advertisements boast special moving services, but in some cases there’s an additional fee required. I know the bill is being footed by your company but you want to make sure you’re spending their money wisely and at the same time, getting the type of moving service you deserve. Once you’ve secured the recommended amount of estimates you can submit those to your office for review.

Ideally the moving company you are most comfortable with should be who you select. However, if that choice is not yours at least make sure that the one you choose addresses all of your moving concerns. Corporate moving can be smooth with the proper Birmingham corporate relocation team at the helm.

There was a day when individuals working in the service industry provided extraordinary service. Do you remember pulling up to the gas station and receiving full service?

Finding a mover in Birmingham that provides this type of service is key to the success of your relocation.
