How to Choose a Moving Company:

So you are going to do the big one, move your home. Perhaps you are making a local, short distance or a much longer distance move, it is still a major hassle. The best and first advice is to hire a moving company to assist you. How do you do this?

First things first:

Do you really need to move all the stuff you have accumulated since you moved into the place? Start by sorting through everything, YES, everything in your home and set aside anything you can live without. Move all this stuff to someplace where it can't be confused with all the stuff you do have to move.

Now make several phone calls to local moving companies. Yes, do choose local moving companies. You could call the moving company main number such in the US as the toll free number. If you do this you will be assigned to one of their branch offices who will contact you for an appointment to come out and see what you have to move.

If you contact a local branch of the moving company that is located near to you, you will have made a friend. Especially if you actually go to their offices, introduce yourself and meet the staff. This way if you need something, when you call upon them for help they should remember you.

But you need to contact at least two moving companies to get competitive bids. It is surprising how two different estimators can come into your home and see the same stuff and come up with two vastly different bids. If you feel it's necessary, call upon three of them to give you an estimate.

If you have called the main office toll free number or contacted an office in the state where you are moving, the estimator may have to send his estimate of your stuff to that office to have them come up with a cost estimate to move your stuff. That may take longer than if you deal directly with the office close to you who will be able to give you an estimate quickly.

Of course, you need to begin this process at least a month, if not more, before you plan to actually move. Three months won't be too long if you also intend to have a yard sale.

You have to allow the moving companies the time to work up a correct estimate for you. Another thing that moving companies may do differently is how they intend to move anything very large or awkward, such as spa or Jacuzzi. Or if you intend to have them transport your car instead of driving it. This does add to the cost.

Once you get all these different estimates, you need to sit down and discuss any differences between their estimates. Since none of the people you have now met will actually be driving your stuff to your next home, you can safely choose the lowest priced mover to move your goods.
