How to choose your moving services
Before even talking with a moving services company, decide what household goods will be shipped and what is to be sold or given away. Then consider whether or not you would like the moving services to pack and what other types of additional services you may require.
Now you can call the moving services you are considering for the job and ask for an estimate. Get involved in the estimating process and try to meet with the relocation consultant to survey your home and prepare a written estimate. Ask each prospective moving services company how long his or her estimate is valid for and question whether the estimate is a binding or a non binding. Do not accept an estimate over the phone and do not consider using a company that offers you this service.
Inform the moving services of any unusual situations at either end so that you will not get involved with extras. Make the moving services aware of any problems that he may encounter at the delivery such as parking problems, road access, street accessibility, delivery time restrictions or if there are any stairs or elevators involved.
The cost of your move can increase dramatically for such occurrences.
