With the internet offering such a wealth of information, it is easy to get lost in all the estimates various movers will offer you. Some of our customers tell us about getting over a dozen estimates after leaving their details in single index website. With so many companies providing estimates, how do you find and select the best one?
Choosing the Best Long Distance Moving Companies – Price Comparisons
Obviously, you are looking for the most affordable price you can get and moving companies know that. This is why many movers will offer you prices with a very low bottom line price, but with many “hidden fees.” Ask the moving companies you are considering to provide you with a written estimate, provided by an estimator that came to your house and inspected your inventory.
Choosing the Best Long Distance Moving Companies – Reputation Comparisons
Anybody can open a website and advertise moving services online. This is why it is so important to check and double check the reputation of all movers you are considering. Be sure to use unbiased websites, such as the Better Business Bureau website, and ask your movers for references.
Choosing the Best Long Distance Moving Companies – Looking at the Little Things
Even if you have a reasonable estimate from a reputable company, it is still extremely important to look into the little things. Make sure your mover knows about any access issues, parking difficulties, elevator restrictions, flights of stairs, necessary certificates of insurance and so on. Check the destination address for similar restrictions or needs. If you are moving into a gated community or an apartment complex, contact the management in advance and ask about time limitations or other moving-related restrictions.
If you have any moving-related questions, don’t hesitate and contact Alpha Moving and Storage by phone, or email at any time.
