Searching for a reliable mover is not an easy task. With virtually hundreds of service providers who offer local and long distance services, who can really say which one of them is reputable and reliable? Luckily enough, there are some simple guidelines you can follow that will assist you in selecting your mover.
Gathering your Estimates
There’s no need to get too may estimates. In order to avoid confusion, it is recommended to limit yourself to three to five estimates from reputable companies.
- Try to get estimates only from local companies that have headquarters in your immediate area.
- Check the Better Business Bureau record of all companies you are considering.
- Make sure the estimates are presented in a clear and understandable way.
- Make sure all possible extra charges, such as packing, long carry, elevator fees etc., are mentioned in a clear and understandable way and in writing.
Making Decisions
When comparing estimates and before making your decision, it is important to look at the basic charge unit and not only at the bottom line price. The charge unit is the rate per pound or cubic foot for long distance moves and the hourly rate for local moves. You should also compare prices for packing and other extra fees.
It goes without saying, that the company you select should have a good BBB record and be able to provide some solid recommendations.
Going carefully through all the stages of the process discussed above will ensure a better and more cost effective relocation experience.
