Because of vast number of options that online searches will provide you, locating reputable movers is not an easy task.
Many of the search results that you will get when searching for movers in your area will not represent actual companies, but brokers and index websites which simply transfer your information to third party service providers.
Let’s take a look at some simple processes that will help you to differentiate actual, reputable movers from other service providers.
Always Check Location and Local Headquarters
The first question you should ask yourself is – where is the company located? Make sure that it has an actual location in your area.
In some cases, it may be a good idea to pay a visit to the headquarter location, meet the movers and check the facilities.
Always Check License Numbers and Reputation
Make sure that the moving company has all the relevant MC and DOT numbers. Once you make sure the company is licensed, check its reputation and ask for references from people who experienced similar moves.
Request an On-Site Estimate
The best way to receive a price from a moving company is to ask for a company representative to come to your house, make an inspection and provide you with a written estimate.
This helps the movers to provide you with accurate price and also adds a personal touch to the relocation proceedings and a sense of familiarity between mover and customer.
Make sure you fully understand your Estimate
Always read the fine print and double check all the possible extra charges.
Most movers will charge separately for packing materials. If packing was not included in the estimate you received, check how much it can potentially add to your moving price.
Also, check if there are other possible fees and in what cases they are applied.
