Choosing the Right Moving Company

Not all companies fit the needs of everyone, what may have worked for a friend might not work for you. Research is key. The more you know about a company’s policies, the better chance you have of not getting ripped off, or worse, getting scammed. A good resource to find customer reviews is yelp.com. Not only will you find customer testimonials, but you can also find a company that is both local and within your price range. Be wary of certain reviews, as some are written before emotions cool down.

Of course, the best source of information is from the company itself. Before choosing a company, call or check their website for pricing range, insurance policies, and extra services they may provide. Some companies are booked well in advance, so try to reserve early or choose a slow period for moving. Insurance is a must. Some companies allow for flexible insurance policies, while others have a fixed rate. Always ask for an estimate, these are required, and go a long way to prevent future confusion. Be sure to check the quality of the move as well as the price. Larger companies might be more consistently reliable, while smaller companies could provide a better deal.

Or, if you’re feeling particularly independent, or just strapped for cash, then moving yourself is a viable option. The price will be invariably cheaper, but the work involved and inherent dangers are also magnified. When renting a moving van, be sure to check insurance policies, or check your own home insurance policy, as driving a truck with a house fool of possessions is never a risk free endeavor.

Good Luck

No matter how you decide to move, or with which company, knowledge is the key to success. The more you know about potential risks and hazards, the better prepared you will be to avoid them. Have a nice move!
