Moving in Atlanta’s 2011 winter storm

atlantamoving — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 14:02:27 +0000

(edit/delete)

Atlanta feels more like Ohio these days than Georgia. We went to sleep Sunday night with all well in Atlanta and woke up Monday morning in the North Pole.

In addition to the many issues the snow and ice have caused for others Movers have there share of head aches. If you are scheduled to move this week make sure to call your movers to make sure your move can be completed as scheduled. A few issues to keep in mind:

1.) Can the movers safely get to your residence? If the roads to your residence are not clear you need to reschedule

2.) Can the movers safely travel to your new residence? If the movers load up your shipment but can not safely get to your new residence than the shipment will need to be stored or left on the truck. This could lead to additional costs.

3.) Are the drive ways/ parking lots/ walk ways all clear at both locations? Even in the roads are good to and from your residence is your home/apartment/condo clear of ice? If the movers show up and there is ice covering the surfaces they will need to walk across then your move will not be able to go forward

4.) Can the movers get there moving trucks out of there location? Some office buildings and parking lots are still solid sheets of ice. Call your movers to make sure they are operational.

5.) Are the movers them selves able to get to work? If the movers can’t get out of there driveways or apartment buildings then they can’t get to the office to do your move.

Once again plan and communicate. If snow and ice are still heavy in your area please tell your movers they are movers not magicians.

Curious customer service

atlantamoving — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 15:50:20 +0000

Just a quick rant. I recently called our credit card processing company of the past six years to inquire about adding a new type of credit card to our accepted credit card list. When I spoke with the customer service rep he told me to contact our sales person and proceeded to give me a name and phone number of a rep….he then stated don’t call he does not work for us any longer. No problem who do I call I asked and the rep gave me a company name and toll free number for a sales department of one of his direct competitors. When I gave my account number to the competitor they told me they could not help me with my account as I was the other companies customer but they would be happy to sign me up to there service. I am sure the processor we use is doing fine but you have to wonder about long term soundness of there business if they are referring there current customer base to another companies sales force for new products that they themselves sell? No wonder all the banks have been in trouble over the last few years.

Feeling hot hot hot

atlantamoving — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:45:24 +0000

Ok Atlanta summer moving season is upon us and moving is in full swing. The good news is the moving season has heated up…the bad news is the summer moving is heated up. Man it is hot outside. All kidding aside when you move during the summer you and or your movers need to take extra precautions to deal with the heat and glaring sun. First make sure you eat a balanced meal the morning of the move. Second make sure to realize that moving is a marathon not a sprint. If you start running around thinking you will get the move done earlier more than likely you will hit the wall and your performance and stamina will be shot. Third and most important is drink plenty of fluids water and sports drinks (not soft drinks) through out the day.

Good luck with your move and if you want to enjoy the ac and by pass the heat give 1-866-U-Moving a call. Cold or hot we can help you with all your moving needs.

NFL draft is done now what?

atlantamoving — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:32:54 +0000

College football season ended months ago. College football recruiting was wrapped up before spring. NFL had it’s season and the big game is over as well. The last hold out for us football nuts was the NFL draft. Granted I don’t follow the NFL like college football but at least it gives you a chance to talk about the college greats again. The draft is over and now the long wait until fall when the real football season (the college football season) gets into the swing again. So what to do in the mean time? Well you can always focus on work yes it is more fun to argue about who might win or should sin a future game or why or why not you lost a previously played game but then again if you work harder today you’ll have more money to spend during football season………..

Who exactly is funding the banks and buying government debt?

atlantamoving — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 20:06:19 +0000

I just quickly read an article that basically said that banks were buying and moving treasury notes from our government in place of making loans to home owners. The fact that banks are buying treasury notes (government debt) is not all that strange but the fact that the banks are buying government debt in the form of treasuries that finance our government debt in light of the public aka government bail out of these same banks received from that same government is bit troubling. Are you confused? Let’s look at it this way….you lend me money to help me pay a bill and then you need to borrow money because you did not actually have the money to lend me that you lent me so you turn around and ask for a loan and I loan you back money. Does that seem like a solution or a circle of pass the buck and bury the issue? Let’s throw another log on the fire. Let’s say that when you lend me money you lend me 5 dollars and then charge me another dollar as a fee (5+1=6). The I turn around and lend you five dollars and charge you three dollars as a fee (5+3=8). So in effect I borrowed money from you in order to turn around and lend it back to you but in the process I made 2 dollars for lending you back your own money. This is in effect what is happening when the government loans money to banks at very low costs and then those same banks turn around and buy the government debt in the form of treasuries. So why are banks not lending money in order to make money on that debt and help stimulate the housing market? They are too busy taking our money to then lend our money back to us (all through the government) and making money with zero risk to worry about lending the money into the private market. It’s a game and the government and banks win and we loose.

What will the 2010 moving season look like?

atlantamoving — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:34:02 +0000

2009 was a down year over all for most moving companies with some in the media declaring a depression for relocation. 2010 will be a hard year to predict. Will the moving market stay in the dull drums or will this be the year that housing prices and low-interest rates finally get folks off the fence and into new homes? Or will 2010 be the year that many home owners were forced to stay in the home they own because they owned more than it is currently worth or they are unable to sell because the other comps they are competing against are short sales or foreclosures?

Hopefully we have seen the bottom of the real estate market bubble bursting and Atlanta along with other cities will return to a healthy level of real estate and moving transactions.

How to choose an Atlanta moving company for your move this summer

atlantamoving — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:38:40 +0000

We are starting to see the light of day with warmer temperatures, birds singing, the spread of pollen and the soon to follow record Atlanta pollen counts (yes the sneezing has begun) which means spring is in the air and the Atlanta summer moving season is just around the corner.

When it is time to pack up your belongings and move to your new digs remember these few pointers on how to choose your moving company to try and avoid the potential pitfalls of moving:
1.) Before you call movers try to clarify for your self what you will need help with and what you want to pay movers to do. The more accurate your are in describing the needs and details of your move to the various movers you speak with the more accurate the price quotes will be you get back. You don’t want inaccurate price quotes because then what are you going to base your decision on?

2.) Research a handful of companies and choose about 3-4 to call and discuss your needs and the services they offer over the phone. Call as many as you like but if you have picked reputable companies to start with you will get some what similar information from each.

3.) Take a minute and look up the movers on the Georgia Public Service Commission web site. All movers in Atlanta must get a license from the GA PSC if they are legal movers.

4.) Check the status of the business with the Atlanta Better Business Bureau. A few complaints in the last few years is not out of line but if they have a laundry list of issues move on.

5.) Check the customer review based sites such as kudzu.com, cityvoter,com, yelp.com to name a few. Once again a couple of bad reviews are ok but if it’s one horror story after another move on.

Once you have done your research you have the basis to make a good decision on who to choose for your move. Talk with each of the last couple of movers who have made it through the process and then go with who you best fits your needs.
