Hiring good moving company can be a very difficult and time-consuming task. There are so many to choose from with many offering incentives and discounts. So, how do you find the best movers? Raleigh moving experts offer these tips and suggestions.
Should You Hire Movers
Deciding whether or not to hire professional movers is a question that plagues all people on the move. And like most decisions, the answer is different for everyone depending on numerous factors such as time, money, difficulty and complexity of the move. If you’re moving across town, a self-move may make more sense than if you’re moving across the country. Still, to ensure you’re making the best decision, it’s a good idea to weigh all options.
Do Research
It’s rare that a company does not have any unhappy customers; the key is to ensure that if there were complaints, that in the end, the customer was satisfied with the result. Read the report carefully, and if you’re thinking of using a company who had a grievance filed, ask them specifically about this case and how it was resolved. Depending on the severity of the complaint, you may choose not to pursue this company.
Ask Questions
Before you even have the moving companies do a walk-through of your home, ask these questions while you have the movers on the phone. This is your chance to interview the moving company to see if they are going to meet your needs.
Quotes or Estimates
With your research completed, you now have a list of at least five moving companies that you feel confident will provide you with good service. The next step is to ask all the moving companies for moving quotes before making a final decision.
Moving Long Distance
When relocating and hiring a moving company to take you across the country, check with many different companies to see what services they have to offer. Something as simple as having a pen and paper ready to check off items as they’re unloaded from the truck will save you a lot of time and unnecessary issues later on in the process.
