Benefit of Hiring Movers & Packers for Your Kuala Lumpur Move
Kuala Lumpur continues to attract new residents from around the world, including people from within Malaysia itself. As the city creeps toward a population of 2 million, the wider Klang Valley region in Greater Kuala Lumpur is home to well over 7 million people. With the total population of Malaysia at a little more than 32 million, that’s a big percentage crammed into a fairly small section of the country.
While many locals relocate within the urban centres of the city itself, for many Malaysians, relocating to KL means moving from the countryside. With crammed roads and a relatively hectic lifestyle, moving house within the capital city region can be complicated. For people with treasured possessions, ensuring they reach their destination unharmed is a major consideration. That’s why using experienced movers and packers is essential.
The perils of DIY moving
It can be tempting to pack up your belongings on your own or with the help of family or friends. People choose this option because they think it’s cheaper. Certainly, doing it yourself will cost less in the short-term; however, once you’re on the move, this could prove false economy. This is especially true if you don’t use a proper removals van. People who pack their own goods rather than hire expert movers and packers often try to save even more money by using their own transport.
Once you’ve hit the road, you may realise this wasn’t such a good idea after all. The fact is that Malaysia’s roads are not in the best condition with potholes causing problems for drivers across the country. The volumes of traffic, especially in and around KL, take a heavy toll on road surfaces. Getting from A to B with your belongings intact on these thoroughfares can be problematic and will often require the work of an experienced professional.
Using the right materials
Professional removal vans will ride out pothole problems without damaging precious goods due to how well your items have been packed and secured in the first place. As well as using trucks that have been properly designed to transport heavy, bulky and fragile goods, an experienced removals company will assess how many items you’re moving beforehand to factor the size of the vehicle required for such an inventory, so you only make one trip. This cuts down on time on the road and therefore risk of damage.
As well as the right transport, quality movers and packers use the correct packing materials. These differ for delicate mementoes, TVs, furniture, appliances, books, clothes and toys, etc. With the right packing materials, a company like Allied will ensure that your belongings remain protected during transit.
Even though our teams have proven a very low risk of damaging items, accidents can still occur. So if you hire the Allied team to pack your belongings for you, then your items can be insured in transit against damage.
