Moving Without the Hassle
If you are planning to move, you might already be looking at different moving companies services and choosing who the best is for you. To have a hassle free move from one city to another, follow these practical things about selecting the best moving service, as well as coming up with the best estimate:
- Take all the time you need in selecting a moving company. Do not rush when you are selecting your mover. There are a lot of choices, so it is best to take your time. You do not want to suffer the consequences of a bad choice, such as bad service with expensive charges.
- Gather all the information you can get. Your friends and family are the best people who can give you the most useful information about moving services.
- Research in the Internet. You can go to bbb.org for a list of companies and the complaints that they have received. As a rule, moving companies that have more than two complaints are not recommended.
- Contact the moving service that you want to get. Make sure that you get through to the company itself, since some have booking agents.
- Once you have chosen a few companies, visit the offices or stations of these companies. Make sure that your visit is unannounced.
- Ask for the moving service’s insurance certificate. Without the insurance certificate, you are liable and responsible for any injury that might happen to any of the employees who are involved in your move.
- Visit websites that provide information and advice about moving services. As a consumer, you have to be aware of what is going on in the area, such as scams and more importantly, a list of reputable movers.
- When asking for prices and shopping for the best price, be cautious of moving companies that have seemingly low prices, but actually bill you with large amounts of money during your actual move.
- To avoid getting blinding estimates, it is safe to go with the company that has the highest estimate. It is more likely this company has the truest estimate, and can also therefore give you good and quality service.
- On your moving day, during your actual move, make sure that you supervise and monitor every activity, so that you would not be billed for any unnecessary activity.
