Determining your Relocation Moving Needs
In order to select the right moving company, you will need to better understand your relocation needs. When you know exactly what will be the items you will be taking with you and the items that you will be leaving behind, you will be able to provide moving companies with accurate inventories that will allow them to provide you with accurate prices. The same can be said about packing and packing materials, when you make your packing related decisions early then you will be able to allow your movers to provide you with an exact price for all of the packing needs you will require.
Finding out more about Special Moving Needs and Limitations
Determining your packing needs and your inventory is not enough. You will also need to determine any other special moving needs and limitations that you may have. Such needs include access difficulties, flights of stairs, elevators and elevator hours and restrictions, certificates of insurance, rules and regulations for building managements and closed communities and so on.
Share all the information you gathered with your movers. The more you find out about your special moving needs and limitations in advance, the easier will it be for your mover to provide you with an accurate estimate.
