Moving is stressful when thinking about it and should be considered a least fun event, especially when packing or moving a family, an office, a home and a familiar territory to a new location. It is an overwhelming thing to trust someone you don’t know with an entire life’s worth of contents when moving to a new location. In making decisions on how to pick movers, there is a lot to consider so that moving and packing of properties will be easier, and a proper research needs to be done based on the company history, experience and customers testimonies.
Tips for Picking the Right and Best Movers
1. When considering picking the right movers for relocating to a new home, you have to first decide what household property will be moved along and what will be sold or give out, before considering the best movers (companies) that will do the job.
2. Also, you will consider if the right mover will provide you with packing services, with other additional services that may be required. However, a screening will be conducted by you for taking the best movers for a perfect job, which means going online to do a thorough check on the mover you are about employing for the service.
3. There is also need to check on at least four best movers for the job to call for an in-home estimate, to know the one that suits the type of your budget plan, so as not to run into extra expenses. Either running a binding estimate or binding not to exceed the estimate, as both estimates put a cap that you will pay for your move by the right movers. If going for a binding estimate, you need to do an estimate of the bill of lading; showing the receipt of your belongings and a contract between you and the right mover, and don’t sign anything you don’t understand. An order for service that will show the authorization receipts for the transportation of household items from one place to another, and an inventory list showing each item and condition prior to the move.
4. Checked for the license of the right movers you choose and also other requirements will differ depending on whether you are changing location from one state to another. The best mover for you must be licensed with the federal government, have DOT number, and if the mover meets all requirements. Make sure you have a thorough investigation on the licensed brought by the right movers, by check on government and independent sources, and not just the mover’s website but also read comments from social media pages of the movers you are about employing.
5. Asking a lot of questions is best to do when considering picking the best movers for packing, such as how long has the company been in the moving business, does they hire day labour or temporary help, do they have a dispute settlement program and if having a guarantee delivery on the proposed date by the client, when is payment done, and if it is cash on delivery or via personal check, credit card. If packing is done by oneself what type of supplies are needed do it, such as boxes and if acceptable?
