How To Pick the Best Moving Company
Hiring a moving company can be extremely beneficial to the moving process. Especially if you’re juggling a full-time job, family life, and daily responsibilities, a moving company can take on the brunt of packing and relocating that you may not have time for. A moving company can significantly lower your stress and help the transition go smoothly.
But by hiring a moving company, you’re entrusting your possessions to their care. How can you know if a company is trustworthy and careful? Here is how to hire a reputable moving company.
Gather Recommendations
Friends, family, real estate agents, and community social media pages can have great recommendations for moving companies. Although you might know someone who owns or works for a moving business, that may not be the best decision. If there is damaged property or an injury, your friendship may complicate what reparations are appropriate. If you do choose to use a friend’s moving company, sign a written agreement so both parties can stick to the agreement in case of complications.
Read Reviews
Reviews can be very helpful when choosing a moving company. Reviewers rightly feel possessive over their property, and if handled poorly or damaged, they won’t hesitate to express their disapproval of the moving company. Alternatively, happy reviewers are not shy when sharing their praise!
Reviews are particularly helpful if there are trends–either good or bad. If there are multiple reviews over the same problem, such as damaged goods, then you shouldn’t pursue that company. But if there are positive trends, such as competency, then that company should go on your short list of potential movers.
Consider Their Years in Business
Although a new company might be wonderful, there’s nothing like a good reputation. A company that has been around for decades shows that its work is trustworthy and quality.
Verify Their Insurance and Credentials
Every moving company must be registered with the US Department of Transportation for interstate moves. They also must have insurance to cover any potential damage or loss during the move. Be sure to ask questions about their insurance, as some companies may have a more basic policy than others. In the event of property loss or damage, you want maximum coverage, especially if your possessions are very valuable.
Compare Quotes and Companies
Once you have a short list of potential moving companies, contact each one for a quote. Then you can compare the prices and services of each one and form your impression of the company. You might notice that one company is disorganized, rough, or careless, while another is respectful, organized, and prepared. Even if the disorganized company is cheaper, it’s worth it to entrust your possessions to the company that truly cares for your items.
