So it’s that time we all dread ... Moving time! It is something almost everyone will experience at some point. One of the most difficult tasks when moving is finding a trustworthy moving company.
What’s the worst thing that can happen to you on your moving day? To find out that your belongings are in the hands of an unskilled moving company.
As you begin your moving company selection process, it would be advisable you take extra time to do your background research to ensure the company you choose is the right one.
Here are a few tips when choosing a moving company.
- Pick a good company. Get recommendations from family and friends. Anyone who’s ever used a moving company will have strong opinions about whether they were good or not. Checking the web is the simplest way to go as well.
- Verify licenses or certifications. Good companies will never be insulted you are doing your homework like this. So do not feel bad asking about credentials and track record.
- Look for promotional cards and interesting deals. Check with local realtors and storage companies for any discounts or coupons with moving companies.
- Pack your own items. Having a moving company pack your items will cost more. Label everything and have your own copies. Number your boxes and make sure you have the inventory listed.
- Get insurance! Check with your own insurance policies to see if you already have coverage for moving damage. If not, choose an insurance plan based on the type of items the company will be moving. Movers aren’t perfect, so insurance is probably a good way to go.
A move is always going to be a major event in your life. This is a big event because there is much planning that has to take place in order for things to work out smoothly. The type of movers you use should be based on what you have to move. You can rely on a solid company to bring everything together in terms of a good history, helpful answers to your questions, great advice and then follow all that up with the services they promised at the price they quoted.
