schedule for move
size and type of company
the need for IT moving specialists.

Moving Authority can even help you with special requests like office furnishings and junk removal. The more detailed you are in describing your needs, the easier it will be to connect you with a moving company with an exact match for service.

Weve learned that the moving is a business in itself, and while independent contractors can offer competitive rates- the resulting service is inconsistent.

Once youve developed a plan with your moving company, you can proceed to focus on streamlining operations. We can even help determine
a schedule for relocating sensitive IT equipment so it doesnt disturb need to disturb current workflow, or direct you to technicians to help

If a corporation needs to move to another State and has to connect around 21 computers, should I leave this task to the movers when they deliver in Oregon. We are moving from Texas and the moving company is from Dallas so I'm just a bit worried that they can do it all. Just wondering if you had the answer. Link | Reply

Great questions Shannon,

You should definitely communicate what you communicated in your comment to the movers. If you need to be operational you need to plan ahead and have an IT team ready to connect you so that you can resume business immediately. You're going to be pulling your hair out if you wait till the last minute to try and find an IT company plus you'll probably pay a pretty penny if you're in a rush to get back to business. An hourly rate for an IT person is around 25 dollars an hour. You're going to need at least 3 people to be able to put up 21 computers and log them in. Make sure you contact the ISP you're going to be using as well. Are you going to be using an in-house server or do you have a cloud solution. I hope I've answered some of your questions and you are more than welcome to contact me via the chat.

Good luck. Link | Reply

We are getting new computers in the new premises, would the moving company be able to dispose of any printers and computers we are not taking with us, or would it best to do it ourselves. Also, is there a specific company we can use in New York to get rid of computers and electronic devices? Link | Reply

Hi Trudy. I think the best course of action is to find companies that specialize in the disposal of computers and printers, especially if the computers still have important confidential information on them. Many moving and storage companies usually sell the items that take space in their warehouses so you may want to delete all of your information on the hard drives of the computers if you don't want your information accidentally being sold to bidders.

Where to Get Free Moving Boxes

Free moving boxes are everywhere, you jus have to keep your eyes open and know where to look. Using free boxes is not only a great way to save money, but it also helps save the environment, since you are reusing boxes as opposed to buying entirely new ones.

Just because the boxes are free of charge, it does not mean you should take them. You should first make sure that the boxes are sturdy and clean. This is an important thing to check if you want to keep your stuff safe and clean when transporting it to your new destination.

Here are the top 6 places to find free moving boxes:

Craigslist

Craigslist is a great place to find free moving boxes. Look at the Free Stuffsection on the site. You have a better chance of finding

If you don’t have any luck in this section, try posting an ad in the Wantedsection of the site. Most people who want to get rid of their boxes will most likely look here first, to see in anyone else is in need of them.

Freecycle

You will have to join the local Freecycle group in your area before you can post an ad. Post an ad asking for free boxes and see if you get a response. Most likely, you will. You never know what is just lying around someone’s house.

Stores/Retailers

Simply ask retailers in your area if they are willing to give away their used boxes. They will probably say yes, and employees there will be more than happy to help you take them to your car, since it reduces the amount that they will have to break down and take to the dumpster later. Also, you can drive behind supermarkets and look for the bin where they throw away boxes they no longer need. Just to be nice, you should check with the store before taking them.

Office Buildings

Many office buildings have boxes that they are willing to get rid of. They get a lot of packages every day, and after they are unloaded, there is no need for them to hoard the boxes. Just go inside and tell the receptionist what you are looking for. They will most likely point you in the direction of free boxes.

Apartment Buildings

Apartment buildings are a nice place to look for boxes, due to the fact that people always move in and out apartment complexes. Ask the building manager, who will tell you where the boxes are or who you can get them from.
