How to Forgo Epic Failures When Long-Distance Moving Bulky or Valuable Items to or from Killeen

If you’re moving your Killeen household and you’ve got to get something really massive or special from here to there, your imagination may be working overtime on all the things that could fail. Calamity isn’t set in stone, though. There are ways around it, and we’ll get to them in a minute. First, let’s review a handful of assumptions you may be indulging that can – and often do! – result in catastrophe.

man frustrated by moving aloneAssuming you’ll be just fine “going it alone” …
As the proverb says, if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. At A-1 Freeman we say, if you want that massive or precious thing of yours to reach its destination in fine fettle, get help: our help.

Assuming you can bubble-wrap anything …
Bubble wrap isn’t some magical product that keeps all things from damage. Believe us – it’s our job to know. Oh, sure, bubble wrap can be a fine protective barrier for a lot of items. But if you plan on transporting artwork, antiques, electronics, or anything of major value, you’ll have to have something extra. And it’s out there: all sorts of strong specialty crates, boxes, and packing materials, many of which can be custom-fit to objects of practically any size and form.

Assuming all moving trucks are alike …
Take it from us, all moving trucks are not created equal. Specialty items like yours must have specialty trucks. And A-1 Freeman has them. These specialty trucks of ours have design [[features|elements]|attributes]63] that significantly curtail the movement of your items during transport. That, plus your items being packed in specialty materials, should give you every confidence that they’ll arrive at your new home in mint condition.

Assuming your treasured item is so extraordinary, no one could a clue about how to move it …
You’d be surprised by what our crews at A-1 Freeman can move! Specialty shipments are our … uh … well … specialty. So, before you give up on your special thing, considering it too special for shipment, give us a call. We’re often trusted to move such prized possessions as large paintings in hefty frames, statuary, fragile collectibles and bric-a-brac, priceless antiques, and complex electronics – even huge things like boats! Still wary of how we might transport your valuable item? Get together with us and we’ll walk you through how we’d tackle it. We expect you’ll be pleased!

Now that we’ve got those pessimistic assumptions out of the way, let’s spend more time viewing the positive side of the picture.

Best. Move. Ever!
Very pleased with the overall respect and care the men gave to my possessions. Even mailing me very quickly the only thing lost in transit. Would recommend to anyone needing a long distant move.
