How to Forgo Epic Failures When Long-Distance Moving Big or Priceless Things to or from El Paso

If you’re moving your El Paso household and you’ve got to get something really massive or special from one point to another, your imagination may be revving into overdrive with all the things that could go wrong. Disaster isn’t set in stone, though. There are ways around it, and we’ll offer them directly. First, let’s look at a handful of assumptions you might be making that can – and often do! – bring about calamity.

man frustrated by moving aloneAssuming you’ll be okay “going it alone” …
As the old axiom 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 bulky or valuable thing of yours to reach its destination no worse for the journey, get help: our help.

Assuming you can bubble-wrap anything …
Bubble wrap isn’t some paranormal product that protects all things from damage. Trust us – it’s our job to know. Oh, sure, bubble wrap can provide a superb protective barrier for many items. But if you plan on moving artwork, antiques, electronics, or anything of major value, you need something more. And you can find it: all sorts of rugged 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 …
You have it on good authority that all moving trucks are not created equal. Specialty items like yours require specialty trucks. And A-1 Freeman’s got ’em. These specialty trucks of ours have design [[features|elements]|attributes]63] that severely curb the movement of your possessions during transport. That, plus your possessions being packed in specialty materials, is your assurance that we’ll get them to your new home in mint condition.

Assuming your valued possession is so “out there”, no one could have any idea how to transport it …
You’d be amazed by what our people at A-1 Freeman can move! Specialty shipments are our … uh … well … specialty. So, before you consign your special thing to oblivion, considering it too special for hauling, give us a visit. We’re often depended on to move such valuables as oversized paintings in hefty frames, statuary, delicate collectibles and bric-a-brac, priceless antiques, and complicated electronics – even relatively gigantic things like boats! Still wary of how we might transport your treasured item? Consult with us and we’ll give you details on how we’d get it done. We think you’ll be happy!

Now that we’ve got those negative assumptions out of the way, let’s spend a little 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.
