Beijing Moving Services to Ease The Pain
Moving
sucks. In an ideal world – i.e. the magical and ultimately unrealistic
world of the silver screen – you’d pack two suitcases and bid a cheery
farewell before heading off to start your next chapter. However, the
reality is, after you have been living in Beijing for a couple of years
(and happen to be a hoarder), moving and packing can be a real pain in
the arse. Fortunately, several companies around the city can help you to
reduce the burden.
Moving in Beijing is not as easy/hard as you thought

Final tip: Always
be honest about the number of boxes, fragile items, and floors the
movers will have to carry your belongings to so as to get a fixed price
before moving. This will prevent you from being ripped off or facing
unexpected costs.
