Alpha Moving & Storage Local Moving Tips
When the time comes to receive your moving estimate, a simple internet search for a local move will provide you with hundreds of results. But are all the movers that come up on the search results actually local? How will you be able to know whether or not they are really located in your immediate area and is it really necessary for your relocation service provider to be local?
In this Alpha Moving and Storage blog post, we will attempt to answer these questions and explain why it is important to use a local mover with a headquarters in your immediate area.
Verify that you are Dealing with an Actual Mover
The first thing you should do is to check that you are dealing with an actual mover and not with a broker or an index site. Brokers will provide you with a moving estimate and will then offer your move, once you schedule it, to a mover of their choice. Index sites are websites that will ask you to submit your information and will then pass it on to several moving companies.
So always check the licensed numbers and addresses of the movers to make sure they are legitimate.
Make Sure your Moving Company is Local
Ask for the physical address of the mover. You may also want to visit its offices and warehouses to make sure you are dealing with a large sized company.
A local company will be able to ensure an exact and accurate pick up time, send more movers if needs be, is familiar with the area, parking restrictions, hourly limitations and so on.
No matter whether you are moving local or long distance, selecting a local company with a physical address in your immediate area is always your safest bet.
