Tips to Find the Perfect Moving & Storage Company
When the time comes for your next move, finding the right moving & storage company can prove to be challenging. There are so many to choose from that it won’t take much for you to end up stressed and confused. There are several ways to compare the various moving companies and once you know how to compare them, choosing the right one to fit your needs becomes much simpler. Here are some of the most important things you should be looking for:
- Reputation – The many reviews posted online by previous customers can tell you about the quality of service, attention to detail, and their ability to meet your needs. Be sure you spend a little time reading these reviews for each moving & storage company on your list.
- Estimates – While price should never be the only reason for choosing a particular moving company, it will play a role in your decision. Contact each company and ask for an estimate. Any that charge for the estimate should be removed from your list. Look for a company that offers you a binding quote as opposed to one that doesn’t. This will guarantee the price you will pay for your move. Keep in mind, your final bill could be a little higher or lower, but it should remain close to the original estimate.
- Services – Some movers simply just move your household goods from your old home to your new one. Others offer a broad array of services for you to choose from. These can include things like professional packing and unpacking, transporting your vehicle, assembly, and placement of your furniture, and many others. Be sure the company you choose offers the services you need.
- Licensing – Visit the US DOT to find out if each moving & storage company you are considering has the appropriate licensing to be in business.
- Insurance – This should go without saying, but you must make sure the company carries basic liability insurance. A much better choice would be to find a company that offers “full replacement value” insurance. This way, if anything is damaged, destroyed, or lost, the company will pay to replace it at current prices.
- Interaction – From the estimator to the team packing and loading the truck, each employee should treat you and your family with respect. They should readily answer any questions you have and treat you in the manner you deserve as a valued customer.
