There are lots of decisions to make when moving to a new home. Selecting a moving company may seem like an easy and quick decision to make, however, there are several important things to consider in order to avoid damage to property and extra fees.
Don’t accept any estimate unless it is a a visual estimate. It is difficult to be accurate with estimates without visually inspecting all of the items that will be transported. If a company is unwilling to give you a visual estimate, don’t use them. It is also important to verify that the inventory that the company has is accurate.
Always get more than one quote. The best way to know what the average prices are for a move is to get more than one quote. After you have received several quotes be cautious with any estimates that are much lower than the others. Some companies that give much lower quotes will add extra fees or charges on your bill later.
Make sure that the company is property licensed and insured. Does the company have a good safety record? Are they licensed through your city/state and through the Department of Transportation. Do they have the proper insurance required by law? Will they provide adequate insurance to cover the value of your property?
Before you come to an agreement or sign a contract, make sure that any fees and charges that they company could charge you are clearly marked on the contract. Don’t find out later that your bill is much higher than expected.
Check with other customers and the Better Business Bureau. Find out if they have had any complaints and how they were handled. Ask other customers how they were treated.
