Yes, planning on hiring a moving company can be complicated, but there is no reason to get stressed out. With a little research and planning you can avoid moving scams and eliminate much of the stress associated with a solid moving plan in place.
6 Must Remember Tips On Choosing And Hiring A Good Moving Company
1.Talk to Friends
2.Find a Trusted Adviser
Talk to local real estate agents or home improvement contractors and leasing offices who work with movers every day. They can offer a professional perspective.
3. Find experts in whatever you need to move
You don’t want just anyone transporting your precious baby grand. If you have speciality items, find a moving company with experts who know how to handle them properly. Usually companies will list this information on their website, but reviews are also a great place to look.
Always good to remember…
4. Don’t pay a Deposit
Legitimate movers should never ask for a deposit before moving your items.
5. Check the Physical Address
Check the website of the moving company and the phone book to ensure that they have a valid physical address in your area. Having a no address, or just listing a P.O. Box could be an indicator the business is not legitimate.
6. Verify an Active License
Look for a license information from the company’s website. All moving companies should have active operating authority and adequate insurance.
Whatever moving tips you read, always do a study on online presence, online reviews, social media profiles of the movers you would want to choose.
