Moving can be stressful, especially when it comes to moving to new cities. Hiring the wrong company can make the tense situation worse. This video gives tips on what to look for in a moving service company.
5 Steps for Finding a Moving Service Company
1.
Insurance
Movers must have adequate insurance. Movers offer minimal insurance but for an extra charge, they offer a higher level of replacement coverage. Go for this if you have many valuable items.
2. Recommendations
Use companies that are highly recommended, especially by people you know.
3. Ask questions
Ask questions to have a better idea of how moving companies work. Questions regarding how long they have been in business, whether they have mover accreditation and if they have the required licenses.
4. Get an Estimate
Get an accurate estimate on the site, not via phone. They will be able to tell you how much labor is required. Charges will depend on stairs, parking conditions, and low doorways. Save money by ensuring things are packed, unplug appliances, and disassemble furniture.
5. Red Flags
Beware of sweet-sounding quotes and negative online reviews. Always trust your gut
Find a moving service that is reliable, reputed, and experienced.
