In a time in which a simple web search for movers can give you hundreds of results, some people will collect dozens of estimates from potential movers. The more estimates you collect, the more confused you may become. Various methods of calculation and a wide range of prizes may make it almost impossible to make an educated selection.
Let’s look at some essential facts that will help you to compare moving estimates and made an educated decision about your local or long distance relocation.
Limiting your Estimates and Making Correct Comparisons
Instead of getting your estimates based on general web searches, it is better to limit your searches to a few local and reputable companies. Our recommendation is to concentrate on about three to four reputable companies.
Once you end up getting all the estimates, try to concentrate on the basic charge unit the various service providers provided you with. This is more important than the bottom line price, because the final charges will be based on the actual weight, space or number of hours the move will take.
Reading the Fine Print and Asking about Special Charges
Read the entire estimate, including the so called ‘fine print’ before you make a decision. Make sure that you have definite moving plans before placing your reservation. Decisions about packing and storage should ideally be done before hand so that the movers would provide you with a final and accurate price.
Your final decision should be based on comparing rates, extra charges, and of course, the reputation and previous experience of the company you are considering.
