Generally, a "carry" (acarreo) is understood as a simple transportation movement of a load, item, or merchandise by a vehicle designed for that purpose, which does not involve additional services such as packing, packaging services, carrying items down stairs, wooden crating, among other additional services.
Carrying services in Panama are very common activities closely related to our country's nature as a port and significant movement of merchandise and people. This is why many carrying and moving companies have emerged in Panama, handling everything from a single item to a complete move.
In the case of moves, a more complex logistics is required, where three main factors are analyzed: the complexity of the operation, the distance of the transfer, and last but not least, the volume to be transported.
Moving is something that everyone does at least once in their life. Executing a move in Panama perfectly and organized can make the difference between a memorable day and a stressful one. Organizing an entire move from one place to another is complex, requiring precise organization and following the advice that Extreme Movers will give you on this occasion.
Clearly define what you want to move.
It happens a lot in our daily operations that clients have not defined what they are actually going to move. This, despite being very common, arises because there are situations such as a yard sale, a clean-out or disposal of items, or simply not having prioritized the move, which sometimes prevents having a realistic budget tailored to their needs.
Classify your items
The first classification you should make is fragile and non-fragile. Fragile items should be packed last, so heavy objects won't damage them; you can also classify your items by person or room to make unpacking easier to find things, and you can also sort them into what stays, what sells, and what is given away, thus further classifying the objects and knowing what you will take and what you will not take to the new home.
Cleaning
Before packing what we are going to move from one place to another, it is essential to clean the place we are leaving. This is done to deliver the house or apartment in the best conditions to the new inhabitants and, in addition, to clarify the specific things we are going to move to our home. When cleaning, you can find things that were considered lost before cleaning the house, which can be important in the place you are going to.
On the other hand, this way you can get rid of objects that no longer work or no longer make sense in your lives, only taking the essentials to the new home and thus saving space, reducing the load to be moved, and clearing the environment you are going to move into to start anew with objects that you truly need.
Do not empty drawers
We give this advice to people who want to optimize space when packing for a move and save money on bags or boxes to store non-fragile items that go inside furniture drawers, such as clothes, footwear, photos, among other things, in order not to take up more space, time, and money in carrying services in Panama; what you should do is close the drawers tightly, if they have a key, lock them, or if not, wrap them with plastic so they do not open during the move.
Pack soft items in garbage bags
This advice applies especially to local moves that require quick movement. Soft items such as duvets, stuffed animals, pillows, blankets, among others, can be packed in garbage bags so that they do not take up space inside the truck and protect the items inside, while also safeguarding furniture and other articles; in addition, they can be sealed with electrical tape so that the bag is not damaged and its contents are not exposed.
Hire a moving service
By hiring one of the professional moving companies in Panama, you have the certainty that your belongings will be in specialized hands that will guarantee security and certified transport to move to your new home professionally; this way you will have the peace of mind that your move will be managed by a high-quality logistics company. Always request an inspection to ensure that there are no hidden or unincluded services. A serious company should know its clients.
Our recommendation is that you choose companies:
· With a recognized track record.
· That have a physical location.
· That are registered in the Single Taxpayer Registry (RUC)
· That have insurance for any unforeseen event.
· That always present documentation for each stage of the process: quotation, payment receipt, invoices, and waybills.
