26 Jun The benefits of using an international removals service when moving

Will you be moving from one European country to a different European country in the near future? Have you decided you do not want to handle the whole move by yourself, so are looking at hiring an international removals service to help?

If so, you have made the right decision, especially because there are so many benefits to hiring an international removals service for your move. Benefits you may not have even thought about yet.

Insurance — One of the main benefits of hiring an international removals service is the insurance that you will get as part of the deal. This means that, if something you own goes missing, is broken or damaged, the international removals service will pay for replacing it.

Experienced movers — The people that move others from one European country to another are experienced in moving from all over Europe. This means they already know what types of problems can emerge on such a move, and are already prepared for anything.

They don’t ‘Ross’ out 😉

If you do not want to find yourself stuck in a different European country with a broken down van or other major problem, hire an international removals service for your move, like Removals to Paris.

They pack everything — Part of the hassle of moving from one European country to another is that you have to pack everything you own. When you hire an international removals service, however, they pack everything for you

This not only saves you time, it also allows you to have a much more stress-free move as there is nothing more stressful than packing belongings and hoping they do not break.

International regulations — While moving from one European country to another is quite easy, there are occasionally international regulations that come up when it comes to moving certain things.

A reputable international removals service will know what these regulations are, and will be well equipped to deal with them.

Driving a large van is stressful — If you had considered hiring a van and doing the move yourself, using an international removals service will be much less stressful.

After all, driving from one European country to another and taking all your belongings with you is a very stressful thing to do, especially if you would be driving at night.

Imagine how much more relaxed you will feel when the international removals service draws up, unloads boxes from the van and starts to pack your belongings for the move.

A few hours later, they will be ready to leave, and you will then have the choice of driving behind them all the way to your new home, or flying and meeting them there when they arrive. Either way, much less stressful than organizing and doing the entire move yourself.

How to find a good international removals service — Read online reviews about moving services in your area, and choose one that seems to have many happy customers.

Just be sure to get several free quotations from a variety of services before making the decision as to which one to hire.

15 Mar Best Options for Protecting your Ears at the Gun Range

Why use Ear Protection?

If you have ever been nearby when a firearm has been fired you are familiar with the ringing and temporary deafness that occurs if your ears are uncovered. Most firearm calibers fire at 140 decibels: to put this in perspective a normal conversation is around 60 decibels, a lawnmower is around 90 decibels and a rock concert 120 decibels. Sustained high decibel noise can cause irreparable damage to your eardrums. If you visit a gun range consistently and forego ear protection you will experience hearing loss at some point. Buying ear protection to prevent this is a smart investment and can save you from pain and money spent on medical expenses.

Many Forms

There are many varieties and options available to protect your ears while shooting your firearm at a gun range. These options vary in price, style and functionality. So how do you know what to buy? First decide what your personal needs and preferences are; internal or external protection, basic or best electronic earplugs for shooting? The NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) is also important to take into account when purchasing ear protection.

 

Passive Ear Plugs

If your budget is your concern look to the basic options of passive ear plugs. This option is perfectly safe and will protect your eardrums from damage without breaking the bank while also remaining nearly unseen while in use. These are usually made from a soft, moldable plastic or foam. With so many varieties of plugs available make sure you go with one that is PVC free and provides a moldable or changeable tip for maximum protection, comfort and proper fit. One of the current top rated passive ear plugs online are the SureFire Sonic Defender Double Flanged Ear plugs.

 

Passive Ear Muffs

Another basic option is the passive ear muffs. These are made of a cup that covers the entire ear and are attached to a headband to hold them in place. This option will cancel more noise than the ear plugs since they cover the entire ear and not just the ear canal. They usually come with adjustable headbands to ensure proper fit, although some of the cheaper models may not have this option. While these are great for cancelling out the sound of your firearm they will also cancel out all other sounds as well. They provide adequate protection for the ears while shooting and come in a variety of styles. Pro-Ears is a great brand providing a variety of options, styles and prices.

 

Electronic Noise-Cancelling Ear Muffs

The most expensive option of ear protection are the electronic ear muffs. These use technology to cancel out the sound of your firearm while still allowing the user to hear ambient noises and conversations. This has many practical applications such as allowing shooting instructors to speak to students during training and allowing hunters to hear animals and noises while stalking. Many models also come with other available options such as noise amplifiers and volume controls for music. Howard Leight Impact Sport & Pro are quality options for use with a variety of firearms.
