There is no doubt that the internet has drastically changed the moving industry. Once upon a time, everyone used the good old Yellow Pages. When the time to choose a mover came, they simply opened the Yellow Pages and contacted a couple of local movers.
Nowadays, a simple internet search yields dozens, sometimes hundreds of results for various moving services, some reputable, others just pretending to be reputable.
It’s easy to lose your way in this maze of moving offers. Some of the results are for web indexes, which means the contact information you fill in is transferred to several moving companies.
Learning to Focus your Search
In order to find your way in this ‘moving maze’, it’s important to try and focus your moving company search. If you follow the instructions of this moving guide, you’ll see just how quickly the list of potential movers gets shorter.
In the ‘Alpha Moving Guide for Selecting a Mover’ we will discuss the three most important aspects involved with selecting your moving and relocation company: reputation, location and estimate terms.
Starting Your Search for a Moving Company
In order to allow yourself enough time to research and make a correct decision, try to start as early as possible, preferably at least eight weeks before your moving date.
This will also allow enough time for the movers to send a representative to your house and provide you with an on-site estimate.
Contacting movers in advance will also allow you the opportunity to visit their local headquarters and make sure they have the proper trucks, equipment, storage facility and so on.
Additionally, starting early will allow you to consider an offer from the mover to provide full packing services. Should you decide to do some or all of the packing on your own, you will have enough time to order packing supplies and pack at your leisure.
