Finding the right moving company can be a difficult process. There are so many to choose from, from local movers to companies that have a national presence. How do you choose the right one for your move?
The right movers for you will be based on your needs and your budget at the time of your move. If you have a smaller budget, you might have to pick a standard moving service, but if you have more funds, then perhaps a full-service mover is for you. Here are some tips to help you evaluate movers to find the right one for you.
The Estimates They Give You
One way you can evaluate whether or not movers are a good fit for you is to get estimates from multiple companies. You can choose a mix of local movers and national company chains and have them come to your home. They will do a walkthrough with you to see what you need to be moved and provide an estimate of how much it will cost.
Once you have several estimates in hand, you can then evaluate what they are offering with their service in relation to how much they will charge for that service. For example, is it a full-service company that will help you downsize, organize and pack your items, transport your items, and then help you unpack and set up your new home?
Do they only offer transportation of your items to your new home? What do they charge for that service alone? If you find the full-service estimate is the better deal for the money you will pay, then that is most likely the right mover for you.
Evaluate Their Website And Read Reviews
A good way to evaluate movers is to read their websites thoroughly to see if they carefully explain what services they offer, list their licenses and insurance information, and if they also list any organizations they are a part of. Always read the fine print and the FAQ section of their website to help answer any questions you may have about the services they provide.
Once you have a good idea of the services they offer, read reviews about the company, not only on their own website but on review sites as well. Check their ratings and read what people thought of them. If there were complaints, read how the company resolved them and if the customer was satisfied with the resolution.
