[好點子] 你有搬家的經驗嗎?

搬家是一件很費心思的大工程，也算是一種大掃除。常常都會在整理、打包的時候發現一些老照片、買過可是沒穿過幾次的衣服或是"以為"已經不見的物品。

那搬家....你都自己搬還是到外面的電線桿找搬家公司廣告? 應該是找"男性"朋友幫忙，不一定找的到，找搬家公司又怕東西遺失或東西您用丟的!

在美國有一家叫Moveline (暫譯:運送專線) ，他們提供的服務很特別喔。

步驟一: 清單
您如果需要搬家，只要與他們連絡，並用您的相機或iphone的facetime 將家裡所有的一切拍攝一遍傳送給他們。他們就會將您家裡的各項物品寫成清單並估計大概需要幾個箱子來包裝。過不久，就會回傳給您清單及打包箱子的數量。有了詳細的清單，您也可以再決定哪些物品確定要搬，哪一些也許您可以送給親朋好友或丟掉。

步驟二: 報價

確定清單後，Moveline還會在跟你確認何時要搬、要搬到哪邊、新家是什麼樣的房型(透天、公寓、華廈、大樓...等)。取得詳細資料後就會送給他們慎選過的搬家公司來做報價，但是他們不會外洩您的個人資料，避免一大堆搬家公司直接打給您。

步驟三: 選搬家公司報價需大概2-3天的工作天。之後，服務人員會挑選三家以上的報價單給您做選擇。看到的價錢，就是您要付的金額，不多也不少，除非您額外增加物品或改變地點。選擇好搬家公司後，服務人員就會搬你安排後續的行程。最後付費只要直接付給搬家公司就好囉!

Step One: The Inventory

Using either video or FaceTime on your iPhone/iPad, you’ll connect with a Moveline Captain to film a quick walkthrough of your place. Based on the footage, Moveline creates a detailed inventory of your stuff, estimates the boxes you’ll need to pack everything, and sends the list back to you. From there, you can decide which items you’ll be moving, and cross things off the list as you sell/donate them.

Step Two: Submit for Quotes

When your inventory is finalized, you’ll submit it for quotes, along with a few more basic details: when you’re moving, where you’re headed, and what your place is like. Your Move Captain will then source quotes for your move from professional moving companies in our network that we’ve pre-screened for quality.

It’s worth noting that when we submit your move for quotes to our network of providers, it’s stripped of your contact info, and any other personally identifiable information about you. We do this for your security, and because we think it’s inconvenient and intrusive to get sales calls from a bunch of moving companies at once.

Step Three: Hire a Moving Company

A few business days later (2-3, depending on provider availability), your Move Captain will send back 3 or more quotes for you to compare. These quotes are binding; as long as you don’t change the inventory or the details of your move, the price doesn’t change. When you’re ready, you’ll choose the services you want and hire a company of your choice. Your Move Captain will book the job according to your schedule. When the job’s done, you’ll pay the movers directly.
