With so much choice and so many moving companies it isn’t easy to select the best possible relocation service for your coming move. Many movers present their estimates in obscure ways that make it difficult for the customers to understand just how the price is calculated and whether or not it could change at the day of the move. This is why understanding the way the movers work and operate and the estimates themselves is essential for anyone wishing to experience a smooth and stress-free relocation.
Choosing your Moving and Storage Service – Learning how it all Works
Long distance moving is conducted with 50′ trailers. Several shipments are combined in order to make the move more cost effective for both customer and moving company. The basic charge units that the companies use are a fixed rate per pound or a fixed rate per cubic foot. For local moving, companies charge for an hourly rate, based on the number of movers necessary for the completion of the move.

Remember to check the “fine print” and look for all possible added fees. Such fees can include the cost of packing and packing materials, charges for flights of stairs, elevator usage and so on.
Choosing your Moving and Storage Service – Learning how to ask the right Questions
Not all moving companies offer the relevant information described above. In order to get such crucial information, you will need to ask the right questions. Ask your mover about the basic charge unit, the rate per pound, cubic foot or the hourly rate for local moves. Ask to receive all other possible fees in writing and on the estimate forms. All other possible fees should also be clearly mentioned on the estimate forms to avoid confusion.
