CHICAGO, April 27 /PRNewswire/ - Moving is stressful. In fact, moving is so taxing that it frequently rates as one of life's most stressful events- second only to death of a family member and divorce.

The incredible stress surrounding facilitating a move, tends to centre on the sheer amount of time and cost associated with the process. For the almost 20 million North American households who move annually, over 80% report that to reduce the stress of moving they require two things: Access to reliable movers and easily accessible and comparable quotes.

According to CLICKandMOVE President, Don Kachur, it is the ability to easily obtain quotes and "comparison shop" that is sorely lacking in the moving industry today. "The moving industry lacks the standardization that consumers need to save time and money during this hectic period. With our service we are hoping to take the 'mystery out of moving' by making the process of obtaining moving quotes transparent and accessible."

CLICKandMOVE is an application that allows relocating consumers to create an accurate inventory of furniture items online. From there, consumers can submit their inventory online to moving companies of their choice who bid on the job. It only takes about 15 minutes to create a detailed household inventory using CLICKandMOVE and this eliminates the 5 or more hours needed for several salesmen to visit your home. Every mover is given the same standard inventory so quotes are easy to compare.

To Kachur, "Since moving companies all bid on the same household furniture inventory, consumers are finally in the driver's seat- dramatically driving down the cost, time investment and inconvenience of entertaining 3 or 4 salespeople from various moving companies in their home." Kachur goes on to say, "We do the research for you, all of the movers on the CLICKandMOVE website are reputable, reliable and pre-screened by our team."

In addition, www.CLICKandMOVE.com provides online tips for preparation of items for moving day and most importantly, all of the moving companies on the website are members of the American Moving and Storage Association so you can be assured of competitive prices AND reliable service.
