Finding the best movers is like finding the right auto mechanics. It may take research and trial and error. There are many auto technicians who know how to work on cars, but not all of them do the job well. On top of that, prices for moving services (like auto services) can be all over the place. But you don’t have to stress about it. With the right steps it can be a piece of cake.
In many cities across the country, tons of moving companies offer relocation services. For example: a search for “best engines” returns a result of hundreds of companies vying for your business. With so many search results to choose from, how do buyers know which moving company to choose? And which of these moving companies will show up and do a great job, you might be thinking.
Time to do some homework. Consumers can specify things like length of time in business, number of moves completed, review ratings, pricing rates, etc. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Prospective clients should also consider the mover’s insurance options, experience, available services, and the amount of inside help available. Moving is a tough business, and buyers need to be confident in their choice of moving company.
Keeping an eye on all of the above considerations can prevent buyers from having a bad experience. It’s also a great idea to ask your apartment manager or local warehouse for suggestions. Friends and family often know a good restaurant or movie to watch, but selecting the best movers is different. In fact, you’ll be doing yourself a favor if you take the advice of the professionals who work with these moving companies on a regular basis.
The right moving companies employ expert advisers or consultants. They listen to the customer from the initial call. These moving professionals ask the right questions, so they can perform better for their clients, delivering on moving day when needed! Just have a list of questions ready to answer and get all your prices clearly spelled out in black and white.
The following move-in time estimates have been suggested, based on the size of the home:
Move-in from a studio or one bedroom apartment should be completed in 2-3 hours.
Moving out of a two-bedroom apartment will most likely take 4-6 hours.
And moving an apartment or a three-bedroom house is expected to take 8 hours or more.
By keeping the above in mind and asking the right people the right questions, you’ll have the best chance of hiring the best carriers for your job. Start early, be proactive, and everything should go smoothly.
