J.D. Power and Associates - Moving Study

Filed under: Portable Storage Information — admin @ 11:35 am

J.D. Power and Associates has just released its 2007 study on Full Service Movers, and the results indicate that satisfaction levels are consistently below expectations. For local moves, only 77% of customers using full service movers received their goods on time and undamaged. The results are worse for long distance movers, citing only 55% of customers receive their belongings intact and on time.

Why is SMARTBOX a smarter solution? Traditional moving companies operate on their schedule, not yours. Even worse, the prices can be outrageous. Prior to a move, the moving company will provide you with a rough estimate based on weight, labor and time. It is not until the move is complete that you get a detailed bill, often back-loaded with hidden fees. Ultimately, you never know how much it is going to cost until you get stuck with the bill. If this sounds familiar, then you need to try SMARTBOX. SMARTBOX offers the versatility of both a portable self storage company and a moving company. We will drop off our storage containers at your address for you to pack and load at your leisure. Because of their size, SMARTBOX units are great for organizing your move.
