So you’ve finished the research stages and ended with about three to five companies from which to choose your actual mover. What now? How do you select the most suitable company for your needs?

Let’s take a look at a few things you need to check before making your actual selection.

Making Sure you are dealing with an Experienced Mover

Remember, all moving companies, good or bad, will claim to be amazing service providers. It is your responsibility to check and double check the validity of their claims. The first thing to check, especially if you are moving long distance or if storage is involved, that the mover you are considering actually specializes in the type of relocation need.

Things you must check before Selecting your Long Distance Moving Company

Long distance moves require not only knowledge and experience, but proper connections and manpower at the destination location. Don’t hesitate and ask for specific details about the estimated delivery time and the number of movers utilized for both pick up and delivery.

Making sure all the Information is Correct and Accurate

Long distance moving is normally charged according to weight or space. Either way, your final inventory will determine the cost of your move. Therefore, when scheduling your move, you need to make sure that your mover has all the correct information and correct inventory lists.

Update your mover about any inventory changes, whether you’ve decided to add items or to remove them from your inventory.

Remember, checking the experience of your potential mover and making sure that it has all the correct and updated information can actually help you to experience a better move and cut down costs.

The team was punctual, professional, and showed exceptional care for both the Brooklyn apartment and the New Jersey home.
