They're wrong; you don't. You can schedule and set up your move to make it as easy and convenient for you as you like, and it's not that difficult to arrange. "I don't know where the 'move everything at once to one location only' concept came from," says Allied Van Lines' Mike LeSage, "but it most likely evolved from somewhere in the business world, where cost is the primary primary control. It's obviously easier and cheaper for companies to move people, especially when there's more than one employee employee involved, to the same' place at the same time. But that doesn't doesn't mean it's the way things have to be." The increasing willingness of employers to negotiate corporate corporate relocations with their employees, particularly when it involves uprooting a settled family, has made it much easier to tailor moves to specific needs, LeSage explains. "Despite the economy, and even the unemployment figures, figures, employees still have the final right of refusal on any move," he says. "Very often a working spouse is involved in the decision, and the employee always has the ultimate refusal option, resigning. From our experience in several thousand corporate relocations annually, it rarely comes to that. More often than not, there's a negotiation negotiation process in which each party gives a little, and they both come out ahead." LeSage says Allied has split-moved many people in both corporate and private moves to more than one location, location, and has never had a problem. problem. They've also done many delayed moves, where only part of goods being transported are shipped at one time, and the balance sent along later. "Either of these moves isn't the easiest type in the world to arrange and manage," he says, "but neither are they brain surgery. What we've learned from our experience is that if the person being moved works with the company closely, and if all the necessary planning and paperwork is done properly, properly, the move or moves usually come off without a hitch." A delayed move, or pne that takes place at two different times, can be very useful to anyone who's taking an extended break, like a lengthy vacation, immediately after arriving at their new location.
