Finding the right moving company is obviously important, but a lot can go into that process. Every customer has something different that they are looking for. Whether it’s affordable pricing estimates, packing services, timeliness, or specialization in long-distance moving, there’s something for everyone. Because of this, we’ve gone ahead and created a list of things you should ask your moving company before signing on the dotted line. 

Ask for Estimates

Asking for estimates on moving cost is the fundamental basis for what most customers are seeking with their move. Let’s face it, money talks. If a customer finds a perfect moving company that covers every one of their needs, but the price is too high, that customer is going to go somewhere else, typically.

Making sure you have a comprehensive list of all the moving, packing, transporting, and storage costs that may be associated with your move is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Not only will you be able to find the best deal for your dollar, but you’ll also have a better idea of what might be able to fit in your budget. If you’re really in on a specific company, but they’re a bit out of your budget, maybe you can handle something like the packing yourself! These are the options you give yourself when you know exactly what the price points are.

Moving Insurance

Moving insurance is an underrated part of the moving process. While it is optional, it’s something you will want to consider in-case your items become damaged. Moving insurance can be something that is often overlooked by customers when they’re moving, but it is very important that you be aware that your company provides it. You’re trusting us with your items, you deserve to feel safe and secure with that fact.

Moving Materials 

Lastly, you’ll want to see what your moving company can offer in terms of moving materials. Whether you’re looking for boxes, tape, moving carts, or vans, you’ll want to ask and see because you never know what you might be able to use, or what you may need.

Oftentimes companies have these materials listed on their websites, so you can do the research yourself if you want. However, it never hurts to ask directly and you may find something that isn’t on the website!
