MoveMe.com: Product Review

You swore to yourself to never get married. And then you did.

You swore to yourself that your one-bedroom apartment would be enough. And then it wasn’t.

You swore to yourself that you’d never, ever, move away from the city—even to try and find a bigger place. But then you did.

Now what?

You’ve got a tiny apartment full of stuff that needs getting gone; you’ve got a much bigger house that stands empty; you need to get from Point A to Point B. But moving—the moving process—just sounds like such a headache: the packing, the moving, the driving, the shipping, and (above all) the having to constantly worry that some boneheaded mover is going to drop that vase your grandmother gave you. It’s all just so draining.

And then in steps www.moveme.com. And everything is easier.

First off: they’re not just a traditional moving service—it’s more like they collect useful information for anyone who’s looking to move and needs answers to their big questions of When, How, Who. They’ve got useful links to find stuff on removal companies, moving companies, and other tips and tricks for the first-time mover. It helps, too, that the site is tastefully arranged, with as many different options (a search bar, various tabs, and a helpline) presented with minimal clutter. From the homepage forward, the user is pulled in to exploring to their heart’s content until they know everything there is to know about moving, or until they feel completely
comfortable with the process—whichever comes first.

“MoveMe.com: The site that makes moving simple.” That’s a simple endorsement, but a truthful one. Sticking to the old adage that information is power, the UK-based site is powerful indeed, and is more than willing to offer up that power to any-and-all confused users. Click around for a few minutes or a few hours as the need dictates; prepare for an upcoming move that’s weeks off, or do it the night before. Need a removal company? Need ten removal companies? They’ll find it for you, no problem.

So you swore to yourself you’d never, ever, find an easy way to move all of your junk.

And then you did.
