Long distance moving involves several stages and is considered the most complex type of relocation. This is why you need to carefully select your long distance service provider and make sure it has the necessary equipment and knowledge to handle your particular relocation needs. This Alpha Moving and Storage blog article provides some tips that will help you in finding more information about your long distance movers.
Finding more Information about your Long Distance Movers – Asking for Prices
When asking for prices from various long distance movers, remember to ask for a basic charge unit and not just for a bottom line price. The basic charge unit is the amount per pound or per cubic foot that the mover uses to calculate the price. This should preferably be mentioned in the written estimate the moving company provides you with.
Finding more Information about your Long Distance Movers – Setting the Date
Try to decide on a moving date at least six weeks in advance. Check with potential moving service providers if that date is available. It is recommended to schedule an actual move date and pay a deposit several weeks in advance. Last minute moves can get more expensive, plus, if you wait too long, the mover might be booked solid for the particular date you need.
Finding more Information about your Long Distance Movers – Arranging for a Delivery
If you are not ready for your long distance delivery right away, ask your moving company about storage options. Most large, professional companies will have a storage facility of their own. Alpha Moving and Storage has occasional specials involving one month of free storage, so be sure to check with your relocation consultant when you in for an estimate. Don’t forget to mention the first date in which you will be available to receive the delivery.
