The Importance Of Hiring A Reputable Vancouver Moving Company

Moving home in Vancouver can often be one of the most stressful events one can experience

in their lifetime and without thorough planning, it can be somewhat of a nightmare. However, by investing in the service of a reputable moving company, you can help your moving day go smoothly and help eliminate any of the initial stresses which come from relocating. Although it can be beneficial to move yourself using a hired van, circumstances such as time cannot always make this possible so the use of a moving company is a must.

One thing you should do first is to research into the different moving services that are available in Vancouver. Some families may have had the misfortune to be scammed by those found on the web, so it is beneficial to combine web searches with directory searches when drafting your list of Vancouver moving companies. When creating your list, aim to have at least three moving companies that you can gain a quote from, but aim to only use those which are in close proximity to your area in order to lower your overall costs. Where possible, also try to only contact those who have been in business for at least 5 years as these Vancouver movers will have gained a certain level of experience and reputation and so may be more trustworthy compared to starting our companies.

Once your list has been compiled, you should then set up appointments with all drafted moving companies to complete an in-home estimate. If a company opts not to come to your home to complete this estimate, this is simply an indication that they are not a reputable company and may even be a 'rouge mover' and so look to add a new moving company to your list. While the estimate is being conducted, inquire as to whether the company in question will be doing the moving themselves or if they will be sub-contracting the work. If they are sub-contracting your move, this should also have them removed from your list. Check that the company has their own removal trucks and most importantly, that they have a valid business license and insurance. Each Vancouver moving company should also provide their clients with a 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet, which is a federal requirement of moving companies.

When it comes to providing your quote, a reputable Vancouver moving company should never base your fee on cubic feet, but should base your fee on the goods in which you require them to move. Each Vancouver mover may have different additional services that are added into the overall fee, so check what these are and quote these to other movers to see if this may alter their service fee, etc. You should never sign a blank agreement and must always be 100% sure of what your agreement entails before signing or handing over any money to the company. Once you have obtained a number of quotes, if you wish for concrete proof that each moving company is legit, you can use the web to search for their corporate information which will not only show that they are legit, but also remove any potential fakers from your shortlist.

Once you are happy with what you have been told and have an ideal mover in mind, arrange the paperwork and sign your agreement!

The good news is that once you have made an agreement with your chosen Vancouver moving company, much of the hard work is now complete. If your company arrives on the moving day on time and appears to be completely prepared to help you move in quick succession, then you can release a sigh of relief and get stuck in with doing your part to help with the move. It is only by completing the necessary research that you will be able to find a reputable Vancouver moving company you can trust. Remember, it is not just about finding a company who will give you a good deal, but also one who will respect your possessions. So, take your time, complete the relevant research and never be sorry to make a company wait for your decision.
