First thing when we got to our new apartment is Poki ran from room to room, stopping in each doorway just staring at the room in awe. He checked every single room and then was at home right away! Our cats basically didn't need any adjustment, and they are SO HAPPY to have way more room to run around!! We actually have a hallway now that they love chasing each other down. And just the other day we got our kitchen cabinets, and the cats have already made themselves at home on top of them! Can't wait to make videos in our new apartment! :D
What...??? They will inform the neighbours...and give them a tissue..and say sorry for the inconvenient, noise and taking up space...?? ..5 star dude...
Asians have very ingrained gifting culture. If you think that's ridiculous in my country (Indonesia) when someone passed away guests who visit the mourning family will bring gifts like cooking oil, a lot of rice, fruits, eggs, etc etc.
@@faizalf119 yep, all the neighbor is pitching in not only in money but also food. Sometimes they even cooked for the late family to make the mourning family life a little easier.
That amazing Japanese packing and customer service... I love how many of their materials are reusable, too. I've moved with moving companies a few times in the US, and it's always been super expensive but really amateur feeling.
The consideration to the neighbors and giving out boxes of tissues or just something as an apology was amazing. Here in the US, you only find out you have a new neighbor when the U-Haul backs in, lol. Well, if it's an apartment, the cleaning might tip you off (if you're lucky to have an apartment that cleans before new tenants move in. No, people outside of the US, that's not normal so you very well could move into a dirty apartment and spend a whole day scrubbing before unpacking anything, making the move-in process even longer).
@@sayyamshah8474 The two times I moved, the movers made their getaway without saying anything about the stuff they broke. Hint: They were not a Japanese moving company.
love that the moving company hired those middle aged ladies to do unpacking no doubt they'd be more conscientious in nature and neat/tidy + knows where things go And its also an opportunity for them to find employment
We talked to some of them and one of them said they applied because they had moved 9 times and so they felt like they were getting pretty qualified at unpacking things! They were super sweet.
I love that they have special boxes for specific things and a lot of them seem to be reusable, which is great because everyone that ever moved houses knows how much plastic and cardboard you waste on the move. They even have protection pads for the floor and the walls! This was incredibly satisfying to watch. Kudos to the moving company, those are some true professionals at work!
You know what I just realized when I kept watching this over and over? Their "special boxes" were mostly plastic boxes, with the exception to some stuff being cardboard. I'm assuming that after they're finished unpacking all the special boxes into the new apartment, it can be reused for any future uses when needed. That's a small detail that I like about this. Thumbs up for the special and reusable boxes :)
Yes indeed, the equipment is re-usable, however, depends on the companies policy. Usually corrugated boxes are not reused as the people usually keep them and only things like what the tv and kitchenware, shelves etc were being moved in would be re used
This is where plastic is super useful. Under the right circumstances i.e. for long-term use, plastic can be a great material. We have plastic fencing as our old wooden fencing needed creosoting every year, still rotted anyway, and eventually got damaged in a bad storm. No need to chop trees to replace our fencing.
@@poop10I That's interesting to hear. I'm moving internationally from the UK to another hemisphere entirely and everything that's not furniture is packed in cardboard boxes (double walled corrugated cardboard). The removal companies that are accreditted to ship abroad all re-use their boxes until they are damaged - it's the trade union standard here. I've been to some companies' warehouses and they do indeed have stacks of previously used boxes all folded flat ready for re-use. It's interesting that this is clearly not the standard everywhere.
The moving company I used here in Australia were so crap. Nearly all my stuff were scratched or dented to some degree. The Japanese take so much pride in what they do. I am in awe of their culture.
Don't even use a moving company when I move as I know too many people who get ripped off or had things damaged from movers. They don't have this type of respect for your property here in Australia campared to Japan.
Moving company in Japan... 1. Customer rep shows up in suit. 2. Every single worker gets a face to face, so you know who is supposed to be there. 3. Before we pack this, let's make sure the owner takes the cash out. (Barely a dollar...) 4. Before moving anything, let's pad up the building. 5. Cleans shit before packaging. 6. Listing which compartment each piece of cutlery goes, so it's in the exact same place after moving. 7. Sofa chair? WRAP IT UP! Cat tower? WRAP IT UP! 8. Reusable purpose designed packaging! 9. Any little doubt, asks the owner. 10. Gets permission for everything. 11. Manual labor is more polite than most hotel concierges. Moving company in another country I've lived in. 1. Customer rep shows up in T-shirt. 2. Only the Customer rep addresses you. 3. Cash? Losers weepers, finders keepers. 4. Oops, we put a hole in the wall, shhhh. 5. Labels? Nah, they can figure that shit out. 6. Wrapping? Maybe the TV. The rest is fine. 7. Sits on your furniture while they have lunch break. 8. Acts like they are doing you a favor.
Seriously people from Japan seem so much nicer and more polite. I know there probably are jerks but they seem like an anomaly. Like the Japanese football (soccer) team cleaned up their locker room and left a thank you note at the World Cup and the Asian Games, and the fans stay behind to clean the stadiums. Meanwhile Americans just leave their trash everywhere. And now I learn their moving companies are respectful and don’t try to destroy your belongings. Wtf is wrong with the rest of the world?!??
I'm basically Rachel. Yes, I understand that this is your job. Yes, I feel awkward having you do all these things that are in your job description for me when I'm perfectly capable of doing it.
Exactly. I never, *ever* wanna be a bother, which gets kinda ridiculous sometimes haahah. I'm like the annoyingly polite type. Except when people are really being rude, then I can forget about manners completely.. Lol.
LITERALLY ME. We go on cruise ship holidays a lot, I always get told off by the members of staff because I start tidying up and they're like "No, this is your holiday. We're here to serve you" but im like LET ME HELP YOU
Froste I had to giggle cause I am so much like that too. When I have a repairman or whatever fix something, I have to leave room where he is working or I will be a pain I think. I just cannot sit back and do nothing when someone else working. Even when I have my guy I pay mow my lawn, I have to keep out of sight till done or I will be making a big pest of myself!
I can’t FUCKIN believe they specifically have cute little old ladies to do the organizing and unpacking stuff. I love japan omfg. And also everything is just so organized and efficient??? I laughed every time there was a new specific box. Also the fact that they went and apologized and gave gifts to the neighbors in advance is so thoughtful and Japanese. Can’t wait to live there one day
Japan is nice for the quality of services, the cleanliness, good manners of most people and others stuff... but trust me , japan is not that '' fabulous '' place that everyone describe. I lived there and the japanese way of life is very stressful, many aspects of life in japan are really corrupted ( the case of rapes and sexual touching which are too much common here , the indifference of the police with these issues, the cheating culture and others japanese behavior which is hard to understand or follow by foreigners...i definitely think that japan is a great place to visit, but living here for a long time... even if many aspect of japanese culture are great, there are more bad aspect (in my opinion) than great. The well-know japanese discipline is the only thing that make japan stay wonderful in the eyes of foreigners , but behind the scenes... is very different !
Unpacking??? Reusable material??? APOLOGETIC TISSUES? How pleasant and adorable! I can't speak for other countries, but in the US so many companies just seem to toss everything in the truck and they'll (maybe) unload them just in the middle of the house.
Tell me, father was in the USAF. When the company moved us from one location in the PI to another. We found trash in one of the trash cans. At least they placed moving paper inside so it wouldn't fall out(?) Go figure.
We have a special box for packing shoes! We have a special box for packing dishes! We have a special box for packing TV! Omg I love them so much already, they are prepared for EVERYTHING
Japanese moving company: Has special boxes for everything, temporary walls so nothing gets ruined, asks if eveything is okay, is beyond polite my western moving company from when I moved into my apartment: shows up two hours late, only one moving guy, asks my dad to help him, scratches my bookcase and desk, puts the boxes only halfway up bc they decided the fifth floor wasn't part of the deal
It's same everywhere. Charged me more for sofa set towards special handling and delivered it 1 month later with all hand rests broken. Blue wrap around used by these Japanese movers looks promising but again it depends how they stack in the vehicle.
I think it depends on which company. Here in VN I had same problem whenever I moved, but after several times, I hired a famous company and things were much better. One person came to my house first to estimate my things and calculate cost & boxes. They didn't have "special boxes" for everything but they packed things properly and helped to reinstall bed and closet, etc...
I can’t stand that when they do that shit. I always say make sure you have help to help you move, and I always come up with a reason why I won’t be helping, (like I have other stuff I will be doing, because if I am paying, and I then need to help, I will only be paying you half then). They still try it and all I say is, no thank you, you can go and I will hire someone else. So now they have just lost any money they would have made and they have used up a work slot so. It works pretty well when they have to leave empty handed because they fucked up.
Haku jumping on the nice business man 😂 Business man: "Its okay" Jun: "But cat hair!" Business man: "Cat hair is fine. Cats are attracted to me" Jun: 'carefully moves Haku anyway' So precious.
@@shynocru7783 To be fair in America in older time service company can be polite as well. Remember when gas station still have station attendants who refuel, clean your window and change the oil? Or when restaurants still have waiters in roller skates? I think Americans got more cynical after Vietnam war.
The first thing got me is the fact the moving company was going to give tissues to the neighbors because of the noise. Like that made me smile. I doubt any moving company would do such a thing lol
My jaw dropped when they said that. I thought they were going to just give out written notices but tHEY ACTUALLY PERSONALLY WENT DOOR TO DOOR WITH TISSUES
@@ninjaahjumma I guess because tissues are functional? For tea and snacks, you'd be taking a gamble on preferences/possible allergies and most people have earphones and stuff these days to block out noise, but everyone always needs more tissues lol
Totally agree, it's so kind that they're acknowledging and considering the neighbors. In my country it just seems that if you're inconvenienced by movers or road workers or whatever.. well tough luck.
Man wow literally japan is another planet he said that the first thing they do is to apologize to the neighbors how professional they can get wow just wow
Dhafer Saad Japan is far ahead in customer service but lacking in almost everything else. School system, working conditions, maternity and paternity rights and welfare system, house architecture and energy conservation, and so on.
i dont know why, but japanese professionals (and japanese people in general) always give me a "faith in humanity restored" kinda feeling...now, i know nobody is perfect, but they damn sure try their best.
Personally, I wouldn't be able to stand it, I don't want someone treating me that way, and in turn, I don't wish to treat others that way. They go sickeningly overboard, even just all the head nodding alone makes me nauseous.
Fair enough. Good thing you have the option to stay away from this culture. I don’t think I’ll ever turn away good manners and quality customer service.
rdizzy1 I think you can speak for yourself on that end. I’ll take overly courteous and kind over rude and unprofessional, especially on a very, very stressful day like moving.
@@rdizzy1 they're culture is about everyone whole. That's why they go by their last name first before ever going by the first name. They're not selfish people. They respect each other like how they expect to be treated. This is centuries in the making tho. America is a very young country. We have a lot to learn.
When I was little, my family hired a different famous Japanese moving company called Kuroneko Yamato. At that time I had a huge stuffed black panther, and I didn’t wanted to be packed. I asked them to treat it as a human. Then they put it to the passenger seat of that truck and transported from Osaka to Fukuoka. It was awesome!
Do they do moving as well? 😱 Didn't know that! I usually get parcels delivered by them from Amazon or Rakuten and used them to send luggage/snowboard gear home when I visited Hokkaido (so I wouldn't need to carry those on my loooong trip back home haha).
Patricia Sigaki oh yeah! They usually does delivery and it’s convenient! But yes they also are famous moving company. I know Sakai, ant, black cat and 0123 are big ones
Whenever I'm sad or not feeling well, I watch this video. I don't know what it is but it's like it's more engaging than just watching "satisfying" compilations but there's not a bunch of stuff going on that makes it overwhelming. Plus, I think it's just nice seeing people be polite to each other and knowing it's not just them doing their jobs but it's a cultural thing, too. It all just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
This was amazing and impressive to watch. As an Army brat in the US my family moved a lot and the "movers" that are provided by the military are known for losing and/or breaking things. Seeing this company just makes me watch in awe as they take care of every little thing.
Yes! The whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking why can't the military movers be like this!!! My husband is still in the military so we've got at least 1 or 2 more moves in our future depending on when he decides to retire and I'm not looking forward to it. However, if they were like this company my stress levels would be so low! :)
Same here, my dad’s a marine and I’ve moved my whole life. My parents moved everything themselves and got help from co workers. Since they’re not as young anymore they decided to get movers to help and they broke & chipped some of our furniture 😂
Their commercial should have granddad and the pets being moved in place. After the move, granddad looks up, notices things have changed, and asks if the housewife has painted the walls.
@@Audon4150 Something must be going on in your life for you to be this upset over nothing. Whatever it is, I hope you can fix it so you can stop spreading your negativity and malice to the rest of the world.

I'm in awe of everything they did. All the different boxes they had for specific items, how quickly they did everything, how organised the whole thing was, how they give neighbours tissues and apologize in advanced- holy
@@babylou ehrlich das wäre es mir so wert. Für so nen Umzug würd ich locker 3000 hinblättern. (I would pay to 3000 euro and more for such an moving company)
Probably the best thing on both sides. It is good for the company's image since Moms are good in organizing stuffs. And, Moms can have an income from a job that is appropriate for them. Great company.
I never saw this video. But I'm so emotionally moved by the care, consideration, personal attention and professionalism I have to leave a comment. To my American eyes this is the most wonderful and amazing thing. It's like an alternate universe. There are humans who are actually this respectful and polite? The attention to detail and hard work, yet they're still so happy and grateful to do their job. They really take care of their customer. These people are rock stars!
it’s like a respect thing, to the owners of the house, they also did a bow. In East Asia; China, Japan, Korea etc they do a bow for greetings or a sign of respect. so yeye :p
@@tonywu6674 oml I thought I had just become a disappointment to the family for not knowing the culture. Feels kinda awkward how other east asian countries bow but we don't though...
You know that you've picked a good moving company when they say "cat hair is fine, no problem at all" when a *long haired* cat tries to give them smooches
I love the most when the packers team introduce themselves to Jun and then the unpackers team introduce themselves too. It makes you feel more comfortable and assuring because you know each worker by names.
all of these workers are so skilled i HAVE to wonder if they sent all their best people to get filmed. absolutely impeccable i hope they get paid highly
They are professional and trained that's why they're skilled. But that company is costly than other small company . They are famous hekkoshi center in Japan that's why bit costly 😌
There was like 15 or more people involved. They did the job probably in 2 days. $3000 for people, $1000 for transport. If you are rich or old or just dont have time, then this service would be for you.
They're so polite and professional, and OH MY GOSH the organization and how well they wrap everything. It's AMAZING. Being a military kid, we moved a LOT, we lost lamps, computers and their monitors, televisions, and dozens of dishes no matter HOW well we boxed them up with EVERY move until we started using PODS and just doing it our damn selves. AND THEY UNPACK SOME STUFF?! America STEP IT UP! Also, Poor Little Poki: "SO MANY PEOPLE!"
I always rent a pickup truck to move to my new place because people here are *VERY* suspicious and i had the same problem with my packaged stuff being cut opened. I sometimes hate living here.
The problem is in US working in moving company is considered a lowly job and I don't think the workers will be that polite due to cultural difference. Also a lot of people going to avoid using that kind of service because it will cost a premium price for that.
If they opened a branch in the usa they would destroy the competition. Over the years I have moved a lot and have never seen it happen that smoothly and efficiently.
@@Nimbusstar17 There are people out there. And with the amount people would pay for this experience, they could pay them well and they wouldn't want to leave.
I'm sure you could find employees in the US with the right attitude, I just doubt that Americans would be willing to pay what this service level would cost. We're rather notorious for picking the cheapest option regardless of relative quality.
I have moved way too many times over the years and have never had an experience that I would even call acceptable. The last time I moved I said screw it and hired some guys in a home depot parking lot - that was the best moving experience I've had. After watching this I want to cry. I love the way they pack dishes and protect the walls and... everything! Color coded boxes even! And employing older folk to unpack and put stuff away - wow!
Bella Beatz- japanese (and most eastern asian people in general, I believe?) are just very considerate of your own personal space and belongings. you’re the client but you’re treated with utmost respect, not just seen as the person who’s paying for the service tbh. we should all learn a bit from this, wish people would be like this as I absolutely despise people touching my personal stuff without permission beforehand.
OMG! They were in, then they were out. It was like watching a special ops team on a mission, carried out with stealth and precision. They really took it to the next level and then some!! Those furniture covers were so cool, and your cat hiding in the cubby............the expression on his face was priceless. I have to watch this again!
This video legit gave me SO. MUCH. PLEASURE. AND HAPPINESS. the way they handled every step of this moving process was the most professional thing I have ever seen, and I have legit never ever seen anything like this anywhere else in the world, where moving is basically "meh toss that shit on the truck it'll be ok, even if it's starting to rain" like, just the mattress cover alone made me want to cry of happiness, such a joy to watch (I'm weird ok I know). When I move to japan, when when I move within japan, I will definitely look up this service. Very smart of them to let you film it. I'm also so happy you two are in a better place where you and the cats feel happy! :)
I was already in awe when they taped up the entrance and placed down mats and i was at 100% satisfaction peek, and then it just kept on going and now im like on level 1000
2:43 We have a special box for shoes. 7:05 We have a special box for dishes. 8:27 We have a special box for TV. 9:01 And clothes on hangers. 10:39 And lights. I'm half expecting they offered to put you two in a special box to n travel to your new home in comfort as well. x'D
it's not the same company, you can't just compare premium company to normal company, did you try the premium company in your county? also the price is probably high, but they did it for free.
I remember watching the Begin Japanology episode about moving companies! They actually have training centers with really narrow hallways and stairs so that the movers can be ready to move anything. They even teach the workers how to carry a box correctly.
I'm really frightened about my next move after the last moving company I was involved with - they tried to cheat me and actually stole one of my boxes with valuable content (I couldn't prove it). Seeing this video now is really painful since no matter how much money I'd spend there's no moving company remotely similar to this where I live.
@@praybogard9736 I'm from Germany and there's of course lots of ordinary decent moving companies hereabout (I was just unlucky with that last one). But the kind of service shown in the video is hard to get anywhere outside Asia I daresay.

I love how they work so fast and gentle and actually answering questions. It’s amazing but I’d be scared to have them pack my stuff just cause I don’t like people in my space but they seem so professional and respectful about your space. And they have special boxes for everything!
I was surprised of all the gadgets and stuff they had like the furniture socks, a rod in a box for putting clothes in with hangers, a box for dishes that secures them, a box for ceiling lights and for tvs! oml it's so magical lol

Came for Jun and Rachel, stayed for the organization and proficiency of this amazing company... also the cute grandmas who also came to help at the end. A company that diversifies with gender and age will always succeed. Especially when they have such a great work ethic. Being able to buy products and essentials from the company while getting rid of your old items (so not paying to have them taken away) is SUCH a good idea.
Yes soooooo true, I had broken items, boxes thumped on the group (u can read the details of my post). The website of some companies specify that they use women for packing and unpacking for small and delicate items because they believe women are more meticulous 😁
Dont even ask in germany, uneducated workers on a low wage job. Japanese community mainly hires japanese people to move their stuff,yes in germany. And yea, they dont even have proper wrappings!
You have to keep in mind that the japanese cultural mindset is different, they are more willing to sacrifice their time to work. There is even a commoly used word for working yourself to death.
I have no words, they did everything so elegantly. I absolutely love how they organized every little detail, it's insane. They actually thought about every single thing and they even put protection on the walls so they don't get scratched. I'm in awe.
From an environmental perspective, they use a lot of packing material and different custom boxes, but I notice they look like they're able to be reused and I assume they do reuse them since they don't have much opportunity to get damaged because these guys exhibit so much CARE in the move. Obviously things like paper won't be reused, but they can easily be recycled.
Japanese do seem to use a lot of packaging for everything, but they also have a really intense recycling system, compared to the US where we just throw a lot of stuff away. I guess it evens out in the end :)
Yeah, the custom boxes are temporary and are re-used after each move. The moving company collects them up again after all the stuff is in the new apartment or house. Every cardboard box and scrap of paper will be recycled, without fail. Japan has pretty strict laws when it comes to recycling. There are multiple garbage collections each week, each for a different type of material. Burnables on Tuesdays, plastics and other recyclables on Thursdays, etc.
If you've got a degree there are a lot of companies out there that offer English speakers the chance to move to japan to teach English as a second language. It's what I'm planning to do.
Japanese people love tourist and are extremely polite to them. Immigrating to Japan and they same people will spit on you. Since Japan is one of the most racist country there is. Have fun
The thing I like about the Japanese people is even if their job is hard and sucks, they are extremely professional and don't show any frustration or give you cause to worry about them taking out their anger on you or your stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if a moving company like that cost a LOT of money probably beyond 500,000 Yen a move this size.
Mori Soba if it only costs that much... i would gladly pay... my parents paid about the same amount and we had to pack everything by ourselves, they only brought the stuff to the truck and transported it oof.
First thing when we got to our new apartment is Poki ran from room to room, stopping in each doorway just staring at the room in awe. He checked every single room and then was at home right away! Our cats basically didn't need any adjustment, and they are SO HAPPY to have way more room to run around!! We actually have a hallway now that they love chasing each other down. And just the other day we got our kitchen cabinets, and the cats have already made themselves at home on top of them! Can't wait to make videos in our new apartment! :D

The consideration to the neighbors and giving out boxes of tissues or just something as an apology was amazing. Here in the US, you only find out you have a new neighbor when the U-Haul backs in, lol. Well, if it's an apartment, the cleaning might tip you off (if you're lucky to have an apartment that cleans before new tenants move in. No, people outside of the US, that's not normal so you very well could move into a dirty apartment and spend a whole day scrubbing before unpacking anything, making the move-in process even longer).
My experience is it's a family run business and who ever had that day off and wanted extra cash came and moved stuff.

no doubt they'd be more conscientious in nature and neat/tidy + knows where things go
And its also an opportunity for them to find employment
We talked to some of them and one of them said they applied because they had moved 9 times and so they felt like they were getting pretty qualified at unpacking things! They were super sweet.
@@RachelandJun Oh wow, only in japan host ( John Daub ) has already moved by 19 times his whole life in japan, maybe he's qualified too ;)
I thought that too, what a nice employment opportunity especially for those used to caring for a home!
I thought the exact same thing!
And they looked so sweet in their aprons 😭😭
I love that they have special boxes for specific things and a lot of them seem to be reusable, which is great because everyone that ever moved houses knows how much plastic and cardboard you waste on the move. They even have protection pads for the floor and the walls!
This was incredibly satisfying to watch. Kudos to the moving company, those are some true professionals at work!
Yes omg! When they first started putting it on the walls I was so confused! Such a brilliant idea!!
You know what I just realized when I kept watching this over and over? Their "special boxes" were mostly plastic boxes, with the exception to some stuff being cardboard. I'm assuming that after they're finished unpacking all the special boxes into the new apartment, it can be reused for any future uses when needed. That's a small detail that I like about this. Thumbs up for the special and reusable boxes :)
Coroplast or corrugated plastic
Yes indeed, the equipment is re-usable, however, depends on the companies policy. Usually corrugated boxes are not reused as the people usually keep them and only things like what the tv and kitchenware, shelves etc were being moved in would be re used
This is where plastic is super useful. Under the right circumstances i.e. for long-term use, plastic can be a great material. We have plastic fencing as our old wooden fencing needed creosoting every year, still rotted anyway, and eventually got damaged in a bad storm. No need to chop trees to replace our fencing.
@@poop10I That's interesting to hear. I'm moving internationally from the UK to another hemisphere entirely and everything that's not furniture is packed in cardboard boxes (double walled corrugated cardboard). The removal companies that are accreditted to ship abroad all re-use their boxes until they are damaged - it's the trade union standard here. I've been to some companies' warehouses and they do indeed have stacks of previously used boxes all folded flat ready for re-use. It's interesting that this is clearly not the standard everywhere.
The moving company I used here in Australia were so crap. Nearly all my stuff were scratched or dented to some degree. The Japanese take so much pride in what they do. I am in awe of their culture.
Viet Lo facts
Yeah
Omg can this moving company expand to here!? (Also Australia) like....i will pay. I will pay so much to not have to deal with moving again
Don't even use a moving company when I move as I know too many people who get ripped off or had things damaged from movers. They don't have this type of respect for your property here in Australia campared to Japan.
The US is the same. Even the so called "great" moving companies are still dog shit.
Moving company in Japan...
1. Customer rep shows up in suit.
2. Every single worker gets a face to face, so you know who is supposed to be there.
3. Before we pack this, let's make sure the owner takes the cash out. (Barely a dollar...)
4. Before moving anything, let's pad up the building.
5. Cleans shit before packaging.
6. Listing which compartment each piece of cutlery goes, so it's in the exact same place after moving.
7. Sofa chair? WRAP IT UP! Cat tower? WRAP IT UP!
8. Reusable purpose designed packaging!
9. Any little doubt, asks the owner.
10. Gets permission for everything.
11. Manual labor is more polite than most hotel concierges.
Moving company in another country I've lived in.
1. Customer rep shows up in T-shirt.
2. Only the Customer rep addresses you.
3. Cash? Losers weepers, finders keepers.
4. Oops, we put a hole in the wall, shhhh.
5. Labels? Nah, they can figure that shit out.
6. Wrapping? Maybe the TV. The rest is fine.
7. Sits on your furniture while they have lunch break.
8. Acts like they are doing you a favor.
Your username makes me think you're going to be a conspiracy theorist but you always write such good, detailed comments. lmao
Moving company in Canada will tie you up on chair and steal money. True story, that happened to my boss.
So true lol
Japanese service is second to none.
Seriously people from Japan seem so much nicer and more polite. I know there probably are jerks but they seem like an anomaly. Like the Japanese football (soccer) team cleaned up their locker room and left a thank you note at the World Cup and the Asian Games, and the fans stay behind to clean the stadiums. Meanwhile Americans just leave their trash everywhere.
And now I learn their moving companies are respectful and don’t try to destroy your belongings. Wtf is wrong with the rest of the world?!??
I can imagine this
Rachel and jun.:right let’s put the cats in the car
Moving people:we have a box for that
😂😂😂😂
Poki's upset? We have a catnip infused box for that.
They actually have, maybe the standard IATA cage.
OMGGG 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scientists: "Finally, we made antimatter but it's unstable."
Japanese Moving Company: "We have a special box for that."
😂🤣😆
That comment made my day xD

akaBaileqqq - Gacha, Roblox And a lot more! I love you 😂😂😂
Pretty much yes
They live in an apart- okie nvm
if you move into indonesia you probably more dissapointed :v
you sir just won the internet.
I'm basically Rachel. Yes, I understand that this is your job. Yes, I feel awkward having you do all these things that are in your job description for me when I'm perfectly capable of doing it.
hahahahhaa same XD
Exactly. I never, *ever* wanna be a bother, which gets kinda ridiculous sometimes haahah.
I'm like the annoyingly polite type. Except when people are really being rude, then I can forget about manners completely.. Lol.
LITERALLY ME. We go on cruise ship holidays a lot, I always get told off by the members of staff because I start tidying up and they're like "No, this is your holiday. We're here to serve you" but im like LET ME HELP YOU
@@theowletblog relatable 😂
Froste I had to giggle cause I am so much like that too. When I have a repairman or whatever fix something, I have to leave room where he is working or I will be a pain I think. I just cannot sit back and do nothing when someone else working. Even when I have my guy I pay mow my lawn, I have to keep out of sight till done or I will be making a big pest of myself!
I can’t FUCKIN believe they specifically have cute little old ladies to do the organizing and unpacking stuff. I love japan omfg. And also everything is just so organized and efficient??? I laughed every time there was a new specific box. Also the fact that they went and apologized and gave gifts to the neighbors in advance is so thoughtful and Japanese. Can’t wait to live there one day
i was screaming when the team of old ladies showed up
I DIED WHEN THEY SHOWED UP WITH THEIR APRONS, TOO CUTE!!!
The Grandma Organizer Mob is a comin
Japan is nice for the quality of services, the cleanliness, good manners of most people and others stuff... but trust me , japan is not that '' fabulous '' place that everyone describe. I lived there and the japanese way of life is very stressful, many aspects of life in japan are really corrupted ( the case of rapes and sexual touching which are too much common here , the indifference of the police with these issues, the cheating culture and others japanese behavior which is hard to understand or follow by foreigners...i definitely think that japan is a great place to visit, but living here for a long time... even if many aspect of japanese culture are great, there are more bad aspect (in my opinion) than great. The well-know japanese discipline is the only thing that make japan stay wonderful in the eyes of foreigners , but behind the scenes... is very different !
@@rymc3437 no really? Can you tell me more about it please? I already knew for the stressful life, but I didn't know this thing about rape!
The fact that they introduce themselves to the neighbors and apologize in advance for the move is already EONS ahead of American moving companies
Tbf it's eons ahead of many people moving privately..
Unpacking??? Reusable material??? APOLOGETIC TISSUES? How pleasant and adorable! I can't speak for other countries, but in the US so many companies just seem to toss everything in the truck and they'll (maybe) unload them just in the middle of the house.
ohh it's the same in the "perfect" Switzerland!!! :/
@@NightskyCH ill be going to Switzerland in a few months.how is customer service over there?
Aaannnd you have to help too
Ikr!?
Tell me, father was in the USAF. When the company moved us from one location in the PI to another. We found trash in one of the trash cans. At least they placed moving paper inside so it wouldn't fall out(?) Go figure.
Why is no one else freakin STOKED about the plastic blue shields for the walls?! Those are AWESOME
During construction... People tend to just use left over cardboard as wall protection.
I feel you. My mind was blown at how many amazing techniques were used as well (i.e. the two boxes to pack the heater).
i will definitely be taking some techniques from this video for my upcoming move, I thought it was genious as well!
I am insanely impressed by those. I've scuffed up so many walls moving.
Those are genius
The Man in black:"cats are attracted to me"
Me:lucky
*cries with big tears*
He meant he's getting tons of puss- in boots
Awww!
That man was so kind and gentle!
My movers weren't like that 😢
and here's me..pspsfspfpsfpsf ing stranger cat....and they run away as fast as they could
I have the same tendency, too. Not complaining, though. :)
I’m moving in a few weeks. My master plan involves convincing this company to expand into the States.
did it work?
or do u have a new TV now
won't work, can't teach manners to americans.
Matt _ HEY! WHY I OUGHTA yeah you’re probably right.
Muahhahhahahhahahaha
* wholesome evil laugh intensifies *
When my mom moved from Hawaii to japan the movers came to help her pack and they started packing the dirty laundry and she had to stop them hahahaha
thing: *exists*
Japanese moving company: we have a special box for that
I lost it when they pulled out the light fixture box. That seriously blew my mind.
Oh! It seems i found some condoms and sex toys! We have a specialised bod with slots that fit perfectly for that!
@@shuhaolu3257 !#noooo
Japanese Rule 34
Chinook anon THIS IS THE BEST COMMENT I'VE READ TODAY😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the plastic paneling to protect the wall from scuffs actually blew my mind
Same!
Same here.
I actually didn't even understand what those were for until I read this comment... I've moved multiple times (as a kid).
We have a special box for packing shoes!
We have a special box for packing dishes!
We have a special box for packing TV!
Omg I love them so much already, they are prepared for EVERYTHING
I freaken love that dish packing box!!
I was looking for that comment
That's what happens when you have people who go ahead and take note of everything they would need to bring.
I swear that TV was better packaged than it would have been straight from the shop!
Those TV boxes were amazing! I’m gonna need a couple for my next move!
Japanese moving company: Has special boxes for everything, temporary walls so nothing gets ruined, asks if eveything is okay, is beyond polite
my western moving company from when I moved into my apartment: shows up two hours late, only one moving guy, asks my dad to help him, scratches my bookcase and desk, puts the boxes only halfway up bc they decided the fifth floor wasn't part of the deal
It's same everywhere. Charged me more for sofa set towards special handling and delivered it 1 month later with all hand rests broken. Blue wrap around used by these Japanese movers looks promising but again it depends how they stack in the vehicle.
I think it depends on which company. Here in VN I had same problem whenever I moved, but after several times, I hired a famous company and things were much better. One person came to my house first to estimate my things and calculate cost & boxes. They didn't have "special boxes" for everything but they packed things properly and helped to reinstall bed and closet, etc...
it's not the same company, you can't just compare premium company to normal company, did you try the premium company in your county?
I can’t stand that when they do that shit.
I always say make sure you have help to help you move, and I always come up with a reason why I won’t be helping, (like I have other stuff I will be doing, because if I am paying, and I then need to help, I will only be paying you half then).
They still try it and all I say is, no thank you, you can go and I will hire someone else.
So now they have just lost any money they would have made and they have used up a work slot so.
It works pretty well when they have to leave empty handed because they fucked up.
They brought professional moms to unpack! I love it.
Michelle McIntyre I thought the same thing!!!! It’s like having your Mother there to help you unpack and put your things away 😱😂 Love it!
It's too wholesome
During this video, the whole time I was just thinking *”BECAUSE JAPAN IS BETTER ZAN YOUR COUNTRY”*
Hahaha same
And Japan has right...
Mushy Bananas lmao me too 😂
I can’t wait to go to Japan
Omg long lost sibling
Haku jumping on the nice business man 😂

And it really shows how BIG haku is!
They all seemed so polite, quiet and respectful. I am so impressed! That is an amazing service.
Meanwhile in America!
@@shynocru7783 To be fair in America in older time service company can be polite as well. Remember when gas station still have station attendants who refuel, clean your window and change the oil? Or when restaurants still have waiters in roller skates? I think Americans got more cynical after Vietnam war.

Jun: Haku, no!
Moving rep: cat hair is OK. We have a box for that.
The first thing got me is the fact the moving company was going to give tissues to the neighbors because of the noise. Like that made me smile. I doubt any moving company would do such a thing lol
Ikr? That was so sweet
My jaw dropped when they said that. I thought they were going to just give out written notices but tHEY ACTUALLY PERSONALLY WENT DOOR TO DOOR WITH TISSUES
I still don't get why they give out tissues though. I personally think earplugs and maybe some tea and snacks would be better.
@@ninjaahjumma I guess because tissues are functional? For tea and snacks, you'd be taking a gamble on preferences/possible allergies and most people have earphones and stuff these days to block out noise, but everyone always needs more tissues lol
Totally agree, it's so kind that they're acknowledging and considering the neighbors. In my country it just seems that if you're inconvenienced by movers or road workers or whatever.. well tough luck.
Man wow literally japan is another planet he said that the first thing they do is to apologize to the neighbors how professional they can get wow just wow
i just got home from japan and the entire time i was there, the focus and attention paid to utter politeness and well-done work was AMAZING
I feel like everything I do would be considered rude if I was in Japan because _they're _*_so_*_ polite, it feels overwhelming_
Ikr?????
Dhafer Saad
Japan is far ahead in customer service but lacking in almost everything else. School system, working conditions, maternity and paternity rights and welfare system, house architecture and energy conservation, and so on.
Juicy Pear lol literally me i feel like you
i dont know why, but japanese professionals (and japanese people in general) always give me a "faith in humanity restored" kinda feeling...now, i know nobody is perfect, but they damn sure try their best.
The older ladies getting all gushy over Haru was just so wholesome! ♡
THEY LITERALLY HAVE TEMPORARILY WALLS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING GETS DAMAGE
the people moving in Dont want any damage do they?
your average SU fan
In my country moving companies don’t even do that
I watched one and they put the plastic things in the elevator too
Japan is a country which gives many shits
I love that they do this...how smart really
Sometimes I can’t believe the level of cultural sophistication in Japan
Personally, I wouldn't be able to stand it, I don't want someone treating me that way, and in turn, I don't wish to treat others that way. They go sickeningly overboard, even just all the head nodding alone makes me nauseous.
Fair enough. Good thing you have the option to stay away from this culture. I don’t think I’ll ever turn away good manners and quality customer service.
rdizzy1 I think you can speak for yourself on that end. I’ll take overly courteous and kind over rude and unprofessional, especially on a very, very stressful day like moving.
Spotted the MAGA idiot.
@@rdizzy1 they're culture is about everyone whole. That's why they go by their last name first before ever going by the first name. They're not selfish people. They respect each other like how they expect to be treated. This is centuries in the making tho. America is a very young country. We have a lot to learn.
When I was little, my family hired a different famous Japanese moving company called Kuroneko Yamato.
At that time I had a huge stuffed black panther, and I didn’t wanted to be packed. I asked them to treat it as a human.
Then they put it to the passenger seat of that truck and transported from Osaka to Fukuoka. It was awesome!
Do they do moving as well? 😱 Didn't know that! I usually get parcels delivered by them from Amazon or Rakuten and used them to send luggage/snowboard gear home when I visited Hokkaido (so I wouldn't need to carry those on my loooong trip back home haha).
Patricia Sigaki oh yeah! They usually does delivery and it’s convenient! But yes they also are famous moving company. I know Sakai, ant, black cat and 0123 are big ones
琥珀Amber
That's awesome
That’s so sweet and wholesome !!!
awww That's so cute!
Whenever I'm sad or not feeling well, I watch this video. I don't know what it is but it's like it's more engaging than just watching "satisfying" compilations but there's not a bunch of stuff going on that makes it overwhelming.
Plus, I think it's just nice seeing people be polite to each other and knowing it's not just them doing their jobs but it's a cultural thing, too.
It all just gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
This was amazing and impressive to watch. As an Army brat in the US my family moved a lot and the "movers" that are provided by the military are known for losing and/or breaking things. Seeing this company just makes me watch in awe as they take care of every little thing.
My only other move with a moving company was with a military mover, too. And yes they broke and lost several things lol
Yes! The whole time I'm watching this I'm thinking why can't the military movers be like this!!! My husband is still in the military so we've got at least 1 or 2 more moves in our future depending on when he decides to retire and I'm not looking forward to it. However, if they were like this company my stress levels would be so low! :)
When I was a wee one, my whole play-doh collection was gone!!!! THE TRAUMA!
Same here, my dad’s a marine and I’ve moved my whole life. My parents moved everything themselves and got help from co workers. Since they’re not as young anymore they decided to get movers to help and they broke & chipped some of our furniture 😂
That sounds familiar. When they go in they pack everything... Even the kitchen garbage... THAT they didn't lose.
That shot of Poki just tightly packed into that cubicle is so funny to me.
I know, I lost it.
I love his face LOL
I definitely lost it too 😆
I read this comment right as it happened 😂 I feel like the cat was staring it my soul
13:18
Their commercial should have granddad and the pets being moved in place. After the move, granddad looks up, notices things have changed, and asks if the housewife has painted the walls.
TheGorignak woaw.. So fucking degrading...

OMG and they hired MOMS to unpack and perform the storage tricks
Probably the best thing on both sides. It is good for the company's image since Moms are good in organizing stuffs. And, Moms can have an income from a job that is appropriate for them. Great company.
If you can’t find something just call a mom to look for it ,they find things in places you SWORE you looked
This company also has all female moving crews available to single women who want that. (very high level of customer service to provide this).

I never saw this video. But I'm so emotionally moved by the care, consideration, personal attention and professionalism I have to leave a comment. To my American eyes this is the most wonderful and amazing thing. It's like an alternate universe. There are humans who are actually this respectful and polite? The attention to detail and hard work, yet they're still so happy and grateful to do their job. They really take care of their customer. These people are rock stars!
I like how they introduced themselves and took off their caps...
ichini kochini seokjini Yeah, it’s amazing. It makes me want to live in Japan..

You know that you've picked a good moving company when they say "cat hair is fine, no problem at all" when a *long haired* cat tries to give them smooches
THIS is world class service. Adore the care. I know tis their job, but it takes a personal effort to take this much care of someone else's belongings.
I love the most when the packers team introduce themselves to Jun and then the unpackers team introduce themselves too. It makes you feel more comfortable and assuring because you know each worker by names.
@K A American's aren't lazy, they just doesn't understand respect
It's not world class. It's Japan class you baka
all of these workers are so skilled i HAVE to wonder if they sent all their best people to get filmed. absolutely impeccable i hope they get paid highly
They are professional
and trained that's why they're skilled. But that company is costly than other small company . They are famous hekkoshi center in Japan that's why bit costly 😌

Even though you got this move for free, this would be worth every freaking penny! I've never seen something so incredibly organized!
The company has definitely earned back the cost. There are so many positive comments on this video!

@@melissagroves-murphy9894 Right?!
There was like 15 or more people involved. They did the job probably in 2 days. $3000 for people, $1000 for transport.

yeah I would pay a few grand to have a move done like this.
The older ladies unpacking for you guys was my favorite part. Like having three mom's helping you nest into your home with warmth and love. So nice!
The unpackers that're consisted of older women makes me think of moms that helps thsir children move😭
IKR?!?! that was sooo cute
Plus how they talked to the cats 🥺
They're so polite and professional, and OH MY GOSH the organization and how well they wrap everything. It's AMAZING.
Being a military kid, we moved a LOT, we lost lamps, computers and their monitors, televisions, and dozens of dishes no matter HOW well we boxed them up with EVERY move until we started using PODS and just doing it our damn selves.
AND THEY UNPACK SOME STUFF?! America STEP IT UP!
Also, Poor Little Poki: "SO MANY PEOPLE!"
I always rent a pickup truck to move to my new place because people here are *VERY* suspicious and i had the same problem with my packaged stuff being cut opened. I sometimes hate living here.
I'm an Army Brat and I agree.
@@maureenpirone3658 This Air Force brat agrees. I was in awe.
The problem is in US working in moving company is considered a lowly job and I don't think the workers will be that polite due to cultural difference. Also a lot of people going to avoid using that kind of service because it will cost a premium price for that.
If they opened a branch in the usa they would destroy the competition. Over the years I have moved a lot and have never seen it happen that smoothly and efficiently.
But can they find employees that has the same work ethic in japan?
@@Nimbusstar17 There are people out there. And with the amount people would pay for this experience, they could pay them well and they wouldn't want to leave.
@@Nimbusstar17 I think if they were paid well and had the training theres at least a chance .
@@dropded_ You have a point shoot I would settle for there updated boxes when moving like the ones for the dishes thats genius
I'm sure you could find employees in the US with the right attitude, I just doubt that Americans would be willing to pay what this service level would cost. We're rather notorious for picking the cheapest option regardless of relative quality.
I have moved way too many times over the years and have never had an experience that I would even call acceptable. The last time I moved I said screw it and hired some guys in a home depot parking lot - that was the best moving experience I've had. After watching this I want to cry. I love the way they pack dishes and protect the walls and... everything! Color coded boxes even! And employing older folk to unpack and put stuff away - wow!
That seems the easiest way nowadays. A little money, some lunch and its done!
1 more like and Satan will come for you. Bwahahahahahaha
They packed the TV like they were the manufacturer. I feel like a new TV has LESS protection after seeing that. Lol
Pay the home depot guys approx 2500 and they will be happy to colour code shazz for you.
Japanese moving Co: “ You have money here” ^ *Gives back 10 ¥* ^
US moving Co: “Oh ya we kinda “lost” your safe box. Sorry abt that.“ 👀
Oh my gosh, the level of politeness! 'Can I open this closet' oh my gosh!!
Bella Beatz- japanese (and most eastern asian people in general, I believe?) are just very considerate of your own personal space and belongings. you’re the client but you’re treated with utmost respect, not just seen as the person who’s paying for the service tbh. we should all learn a bit from this, wish people would be like this as I absolutely despise people touching my personal stuff without permission beforehand.
OMG! They were in, then they were out. It was like watching a special ops team on a mission, carried out with stealth and precision. They really took it to the next level and then some!! Those furniture covers were so cool, and your cat hiding in the cubby............the expression on his face was priceless. I have to watch this again!
Yeah....weird what video editing can do. Smh
Poki is having a real crisis in this video. It's adorable.
It’s just so wholesome how the movers played with Haku, my heart is breaking into a million pieces from the joy I feel
This video legit gave me SO. MUCH. PLEASURE. AND HAPPINESS. the way they handled every step of this moving process was the most professional thing I have ever seen, and I have legit never ever seen anything like this anywhere else in the world, where moving is basically "meh toss that shit on the truck it'll be ok, even if it's starting to rain" like, just the mattress cover alone made me want to cry of happiness, such a joy to watch (I'm weird ok I know). When I move to japan, when when I move within japan, I will definitely look up this service. Very smart of them to let you film it. I'm also so happy you two are in a better place where you and the cats feel happy! :)
I was already in awe when they taped up the entrance and placed down mats and i was at 100% satisfaction peek, and then it just kept on going and now im like on level 1000

I'm half expecting they offered to put you two in a special box to n travel to your new home in comfort as well. x'D
I was waiting for cat shaped boxes with 4 legs and a tail sticking up.
Would you like us to pack your cats to we have a special box for them
The Moving Company of Amigara Fault
That’s called a coffin
U-Haul has all those boxes too.
Was waiting for the *we have a special box for packing cats* 😂
Right⁉😊
Me too!
called a stove! joke joke, X_X
HA! Yes!
XDDDD
U.S. moving company: “Hey, what’s ‘FRA-JEE-LAYY’ mean!?”
and then throwing it into the van
it's not the same company, you can't just compare premium company to normal company, did you try the premium company in your county? also the price is probably high, but they did it for free.
@@L2002 sadly, my neighbors used a premium moving company in the U.S., and they DID break their stuff. Had to take the movers to court over that.
@@L2002 u ain't from the USA, I see. or at least u ain't blue-collar minimum wage type.
lmfao
Is that a Rugrats reference?
''The kitchen counter looks warmer and more comfortable than I am.''
This is such a mood tbh
Them selling appliances is just genius!
It definitely is and super helpful as it's discounted
I know, right?! At first it seemed like such a strange thing, but it makes so much sense I'm surprised it's not a thing here.
I remember watching the Begin Japanology episode about moving companies! They actually have training centers with really narrow hallways and stairs so that the movers can be ready to move anything. They even teach the workers how to carry a box correctly.
The way they were lifting those large items through the window was amazing 😁.
I was going to ask if they went to booth camp, lol.
I'm really frightened about my next move after the last moving company I was involved with - they tried to cheat me and actually stole one of my boxes with valuable content (I couldn't prove it). Seeing this video now is really painful since no matter how much money I'd spend there's no moving company remotely similar to this where I live.
Ouch, that hurts me just reading it... I'm so sorry about what happened!!
@@D.G.W.L Thank you
Where do you live??
@@praybogard9736 I'm from Germany and there's of course lots of ordinary decent moving companies hereabout (I was just unlucky with that last one). But the kind of service shown in the video is hard to get anywhere outside Asia I daresay.
@@Yoshina1 Ich werde auch demnächst umziehen (müssen) u d möchte diesmal ein Unternehmen engagieren. Würdest du mir vlt sagen, auf wen ich dabei verzichten sollte?
Vielen Dank =)
Just me or was this *HELLA SATISFYING*
raza45 _________ HELL FRICKIN’ YEAH
I’m in awe while watching them pack.
Moving company in any other country: We’ll try not to break anything.
Japanese moving company, calmly: Do or do not. There is no try.
But to do is to try, if there is no try there is no do.
I love me a paradox in the mornin
@@flooferjay3245 My brain hurt...
Floofer Jay Elisa has solved this conundrum. Too much to explain for mortals, I will spare you the time.
Funnily enough, that is their company slogan.
I think if they broke something the CEO would come to your house to beg forgiveness, buy you a new bedroom set and then resign in disgrace.
I need an anime about a Japanese moving company
Socially Awkward that would be such a good slice of life anime !!!
Yah hear that animators!
I can see this happening
that would be perfect! I’d definitely watch that haha.
Write that down, write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN.
I'm gonna write dis and make a webtoon, do I have permission to do that since it was your idea
I love how they work so fast and gentle and actually answering questions. It’s amazing but I’d be scared to have them pack my stuff just cause I don’t like people in my space but they seem so professional and respectful about your space. And they have special boxes for everything!
the Japanese are SO COOL! Clean, efficient, polite, we all have much to learn from this example!
cheers!
Yes! My husband lived there while in the Marines,and he said there is no trash along the roads! People are respectful and clean!
I was surprised of all the gadgets and stuff they had like the furniture socks, a rod in a box for putting clothes in with hangers, a box for dishes that secures them, a box for ceiling lights and for tvs! oml it's so magical lol
@@BookReviewsWithBecky i agree its clean, polite and cool, but its hell bent running from being efficient. I can do this in 5 seconds, gimme some wd40, an open window, and a bouncy table, yeet that shit.
@@naritruwireve1381 In the US UHaul sells those "wardrobe" boxes for hanging clothes.
*”How many different boxes do you have?”*
Japanese moving company: *Yes*
And can we just talk about how polite and convenient and neat they are??? Pick up your game America!
Sophie Yu and the general politeness and respect from everyone, come on Australia!
So incredibly efficient.
IKR American moving companies can be so rough and be so rude compared to the Japanese moving company😭
*HAI
I ain't paying no one to pack my shit 🤣 Why pay someone if you could just do it yourself?
“we have a special box for shoes”
“we have a special box for dishes”
“we have a special box for your TV”
“we have a special box for clothes”
“we have a special box for your ceiling light”
what’s next? a box for you?
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised ??
a special box for the cats 😂😂😂
verbal rendezvous any box is a box for a cat 😉
they have box for your boxes too
Momo Freeman the box 4 tv actually looks like a pupil school bag in 2 layers 4 me😅
Jun: “So, we have a-“
Moving Company: “we have a special box for that”
Came for Jun and Rachel, stayed for the organization and proficiency of this amazing company... also the cute grandmas who also came to help at the end. A company that diversifies with gender and age will always succeed. Especially when they have such a great work ethic. Being able to buy products and essentials from the company while getting rid of your old items (so not paying to have them taken away) is SUCH a good idea.
Yes soooooo true, I had broken items, boxes thumped on the group (u can read the details of my post). The website of some companies specify that they use women for packing and unpacking for small and delicate items because they believe women are more meticulous 😁
Sorry typo, On the ground I mean
I have worked as a mover for the last 8 years here in Canada. These guys really put us to shame...
Dont even ask in germany, uneducated workers on a low wage job. Japanese community mainly hires japanese people to move their stuff,yes in germany.
And yea, they dont even have proper wrappings!
@@ipasuhd
Yes they just throw it in the truck without somehow protecting it. Sad but true.
Hai
You have to keep in mind that the japanese cultural mindset is different, they are more willing to sacrifice their time to work. There is even a commoly used word for working yourself to death.
They are know for their efficiency. :)
ok those unpacker ladies ARE SO FREAKING ADORABLE?!
Yes they're so cute!!!!!!!!!!! I want to hug them 😭
@@kyliessave8454 hentai
i love how japanese people act so polite and humble and theyre not even faking it
I have no words, they did everything so elegantly. I absolutely love how they organized every little detail, it's insane. They actually thought about every single thing and they even put protection on the walls so they don't get scratched. I'm in awe.
I wish someone cared about me as much as the movers cared about Rachel and Jun’s belongings
#bestcommentever
LOOOLL
*sigh*...so do i 😢
When furniture got more love than you got..... 😢
oof
From an environmental perspective, they use a lot of packing material and different custom boxes, but I notice they look like they're able to be reused and I assume they do reuse them since they don't have much opportunity to get damaged because these guys exhibit so much CARE in the move.
Obviously things like paper won't be reused, but they can easily be recycled.
Japanese do seem to use a lot of packaging for everything, but they also have a really intense recycling system, compared to the US where we just throw a lot of stuff away. I guess it evens out in the end :)
Yeah, the custom boxes are temporary and are re-used after each move. The moving company collects them up again after all the stuff is in the new apartment or house. Every cardboard box and scrap of paper will be recycled, without fail. Japan has pretty strict laws when it comes to recycling. There are multiple garbage collections each week, each for a different type of material. Burnables on Tuesdays, plastics and other recyclables on Thursdays, etc.
They are a country that respect cleanliness. So the packaging tradition comes from that fact as well.
@@nabielw Oooh, thanks for this!
@@DaniOhDani np!
I lived in Japan for over 20 years, and yes, these companies are very careful and helpful. Best thing ever 🥰
That's so great
Very gentle. Not rushing. No stress between workers & client. Very polite. I wanna move to Japan.
If you've got a degree there are a lot of companies out there that offer English speakers the chance to move to japan to teach English as a second language. It's what I'm planning to do.
I'm going in I just graduated in veterinary medicine
im sure this wouldnt have been cheap... there are minimum 3 employee working on this.
Japanese people love tourist and are extremely polite to them. Immigrating to Japan and they same people will spit on you. Since Japan is one of the most racist country there is. Have fun
If you immigrate to japan, you must follow them, imagine you have to constantly act like the workers in the video whenever you are in front of people.
The thing I like about the Japanese people is even if their job is hard and sucks, they are extremely professional and don't show any frustration or give you cause to worry about them taking out their anger on you or your stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if a moving company like that cost a LOT of money probably beyond 500,000 Yen a move this size.
I would gladly pay that and more! With these guys I wouldn't have to worry about anything.
I'm Japanese. Avarage cost for this moving company is 200,000 or 300,000 Yen for this volume.
@@morisoba2550 Sounds good enough. Probs 350k would do for extra+++.
It's just... this moving company is legit professional on the whole new level.
And Rachel and Jun got it FOR FREE! wew
Mori Soba if it only costs that much... i would gladly pay... my parents paid about the same amount and we had to pack everything by ourselves, they only brought the stuff to the truck and transported it oof.
The world can definitely learn some things from Japan.
I have a feeling that level of service in a western country would cost the same as a midsized sedan.
Some? How about A LOT of things. Japan is awesome!!
if i ever going to start a business, this is exactly what i'm going to do
This is the most effective moving company I've ever seen. I'd gladly pay a lot of money for them to move my things. They really did an awesome job.
