A good mover can make all the difference, not only between a stress-free move and a terrible experience, but also between a cost effective move and an expensive one. This makes a thorough examination of your potential mover absolutely essential.
Let’s examine a few basic things you’ll need to do in order to check the reputation of your mover and make sure it has the knowledge, experience and reputation you need.
Verifying Promises and Checking Reputation
All movers will claim to be reputable, have a fleet of trucks and ultra-modern headquarters. You, the customer is the one who must check the validity of their claims, both by visiting the mover’s facilities and checking its reputation online.
A good place to start is the Better Business Bureau. Make sure your mover is registered with the Better Business Bureau and had a decent rating.
Next, you can check with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation that all the license numbers you’ve been provided with all legit and that there are no complaints or violations registered.
Stay Clear of Prices that are too good to be true
If the price you’ve received from a mover is significantly lower than average, you should be extremely cautious with your decision. All companies have the same expenses, so while there can definitely be price fluctuations, it doesn’t make sense for a price to be fifty percent lower than all others. Many times, the companies involved will find excuses to double and triple the price on the actual moving date.
