In most instances your long distance move should begin with a free in-home estimate from an in-home estimator. The estimator will conduct a survey of your property. His or her goal is to map out a move plan and to provide you with fair and honest pricing.

Once you’ve selected your Oklahoma City mover, you now need to begin to prepare your home for the move. You will receive several tips from the moving company on how to make the move as smooth as possible. I’ve listed a few of my own below:

• Plan a garage sale to eliminate items that you don’t need.
• Secure change of address information from postal service.
• Notify utility companies of cancellation of services.
• Assemble important documents (i.e. policies, birth certificates, school records etc.).
• Garner packing materials.
• Disconnect major appliances

Remember you’re looking for a moving company that is going to be with you throughout the entire process of your move. As time draws close to your family’s big day you should receive a call from your relocation specialist to confirm the arrival time of the crew. He will also be checking to see if there are any last minute details that he and his team may need to address. If you are taking advantage of their packing services the relocation specialist may advise you of a packing day prior to the move. If that’s the case, the team will arrive at your home with ample packing supplies to get your house move ready. Move ready simply means everything packed, disassembled, labeled and facing the door. This move ready process assists your Oklahoma City moving crew in expediting the loading of the carrier. Also, another tidbit to note, some moving companies will throw in something here and there …maybe free wardrobe boxes. It never hurts to ask.

On move day you want to make sure that the foreman goes over the logistics/move plan with you to make certain you are comfortable with the process. Once you guys have met the crew should then begin loading, because time is money. At the end of loading I recommend a final walk-through of the home. Once loading is done, unloading is only hours away!

We all have our own holiday traditions. They’ve lasted for generations. Traditions are what make holidays what they are. Traditions continue because they work. There is something about tradition that brings everybody together and creates moments that we never want to end. While the holidays come around every year, moving may not happen so frequently for you and your family. On the other hand, moving may happen quite frequently for you and your family. Regardless of who you are, at some point, we all have to move. Which is why you should have a tradition for when its time to move locally in Oklahoma City.
Have a mandatory going away party for your soon to be old place. Or let younger children spend the last night in your old home in a couch cushion fort they can spend the day building. Anything as long as it is fun. If you move very frequently, your family may look forward to moving before long because traditions are fun for everybody. More importantly, you should have a tradition for your designated professional Oklahoma City movers. A wholesome reputable moving company who knows how to handle your property safely and knows how to move you quickly. If you are currently looking to move locally in Oklahoma City. The sooner you have a tradition for your Oklahoma moving needs, the sooner your family will look forward to moving. Imagine all the stress on your shoulders, gone.

Welcome 2009! Now that it is a New Year it is a new year of opportunity to make new and returning customers happy! It’s the way we move our customers like it’s our own families that makes us your number one choice as an Oklahoma City mover!

Hello Oklahoma City! Some people ask me what is the main benefit of storing your belongings with me… It is simple because there is more than one benefit.

Our storage is in a climate controlled environment.

The fact that we do an inventory of your belongings – so you know what you have stored with us.

In self-storage places almost anyone could have access to your belongings. Using our storage is more secured, because access to your belongings is more restricted.

More and more people in Oklahoma City are finding not only how easy it is to use our storage – but how great it is to use our moving services. We make Oklahoma City moves easy!

That is an example of the great reputation we have! When complete strangers tell other people to call us – you know those are just some of the many satisfied customers we have.

The second story happened a couple of days ago. It was a woman that needed help setting up a move. While getting the details from this woman I found out that one of her sons had died in a car accident. We would be moving his belongings as well as moving some other items from several houses. I was told that I was the first person she had been able to talk to without crying.

The move was a little difficult – but we got all the details worked out! All My Sons of Oklahoma City is the company that is family owned and operated. Our family moves yours. Some of the stories are sad and heart touching – while some people pay for a newlywed couple’s first move as a wedding gift.

Protecting the environment is vital to ensuring our worlds has a future. Everything we individually do can make a difference. Here at All My Sons Moving and Storage of Oklahoma City, we attempt to make a difference. We can all recycle, whether its coke bottles and cans, wood, crates and plastics. Going Green can not only make a difference to our environment and most importantly the environment of our children, but can save each of us money. If each of us just try, we could make a world of difference.

Instead of storing your furniture and items in a public self storage, at All My Sons Moving and Storage we do things a little different. First we start at the residence by inventorying all items. This lets us and the customer know exactly what items, quantity, and actual condition of the shipment. We then blanket pad wrap all furniture. After loading the shipment on board our truck, we unload at our facility. Each item is then loaded into a sealed storage vault. Each item that is loaded into a vault is labeled on a “Bingo Sheet” to properly identify that a specific item is in a specific vault. Once each vault is completely loaded (heavy base pieces on bottom, middle items in the middle and light items on top) they are sealed and labeled. The vaults are stored in a weather controlled environment until such time that the customer desires for them to be delivered.

A few advantages for storing items this way: 1) they remain blanket padded throughout the process, 2) each item is stored in sealed vaults (protection from weather and being lost) and 3) each item is properly identified and inventoried to protect the customer and your Oklahoma mover.

When you’re ready for your belongings, give us a call and we’ll schedule time to bring your belongings to you. Not only do we deliver it, but we will also place everything where you want.

As the Shipper (what the customer is called in the moving industry), there are certain Rights and Responsibilities you may be unaware of. I want to take a moment of my time to inform you about them. Your Oklahoma City mover gives you this booklet to provide information about your rights and responsibilities as an individual shipper of your household goods. Your primary responsibility is to select a reputable Oklahoma City mover, ensure that you understand the terms and conditions of the contract, and understand and pursue the remedies that are available to you in case problems arise. You should talk to your Oklahoma City mover if you have further questions.

In the pamphlet you will find information on:

-Service Options Provided
-Estimating Charges
-Pick up, Transportation, and Delivery of your shipment
-Collection of Charges
-Resolving Issues with your move

All of which and more you can find information on, in “Your Rights and Responsibilities” when moving booklet.

So here it is the night before Father’s Day I’m thinking back to old memories of family and friends – and spending holidays together. To any fathers that are reading this Happy Father’s Day!

Sometimes I like to just get away and relax. I like to learn more – so I look for places I can do both at! I went to the 45th Infantry Museum. All I can say is wow! If you like history – and like to honor the soldiers that helped make this the great country that it is – go there!
I saw a lot of great folks and had a lot of fun… It was like a trip down memory lane… It reminded me of going there when I was a little kid. It also brought back other memories, memories of fishing and going for drives…

It also brought back some of those not so fond memories – like having to move. I remember moving as a child, the hot summer sun beating down on us, Dad being upset, yelling, the headaches, and all the body aches.

The funny thing is the last time I moved I didn’t even have to do it myself. I used an Oklahoma mover. I know – I know it seems like each cheating – but now I never want to move myself again. I used Oklahoma movers - All My Sons. The guys came out, they wrapped up my wooden furniture, and I didn’t even have to unpack my dressers! They disassembled my bed; they even reassembled it, and put everything where I wanted it to go! Now I never want to have to move myself again! Looking back I wish dad would have used an Oklahoma mover like All My Sons…

From your favorite Oklahoma City movers, Happy Father’s Day!
