For many people, just thinking about long distance moving is enough to make them break into a cold sweat. Because it involves several stages and often, a high level of stress, long distance relocation requires the services of a skilled and experienced moving company. This new Alpha Moving and Storage article will show you how to find just such a company.
The Basic Principles of Long Distance Moving
You should know that long distance moving is conducted in the “shared delivery” method, which means that a 50’ trailer is loaded with several shipments that are then sent to the same destination state of states. Because you will be charged according to actual space or weight, trimming down your inventory is essential for lowering your moving costs.
Looking for your Quality Long Distance Movers
Search for companies with an established reputation. All the companies you are considering should be fully licensed and insured. Prepare a list of three to six quality movers. Call them and ask for their license numbers and their addresses. Make sure that the companies don’t have any open complaints with the various regulatory authorities.
Things you should be Aware of Before Selecting your Quality Long Distance Movers
You should be aware of the fact that most companies charge separately for packing and packing materials. You should also be aware of the fact that some companies charge for flights of stairs, elevator usage, long carry, the issuing of certificates of insurance and so on. When talking to your long distance relocation consultant, ask if all the charges were included in your estimate. If not, ask him or her to detail them in writing, or even send you a new estimate that includes all possible added charges.
