What You Can Do Without When You Pick Your Mover

You will have won half the battle on your move if you choose the right mover. A mistake at this stage all but spells pain and resentment. A look into the common mistakes committed by most people would hold you in good stead at the time of your own move.

Don't get moving estimates over the phone or via the internet. It is absolutely hard to imagine somebody from the moving company giving you an accurate estimate over the phone as to how much it is going to cost you as you move to a new home. An in-home estimate is the way to go. Have someone visit your place and do a thorough assessment of all your items to be moved. Otherwise, there is every chance your budget going haywire because all the items have not been accounted for resulting in the cost leapfrogging the estimate by a big margin. You should also get estimates from at least several moving companies; that way you can be sure of landing a fair deal. Have them all do an in-home estimate. Now, you may also come across lowball estimates which seem too good to be true. Avoid those; most often the moving company pile up additional charges on top of the base rate to eventually charge you an exorbitant fee. Speaking of additional charges; guard yourself from services which the moving company rightly claims are aimed at protecting your stuff from damage by way of packing and wrapping with mover supplied packaging material. They ask you to avail of these services if they feel the packing is not proper as they send the costs skyrocketing through the roof.

Do not make the mistake of choosing an unlicensed and uninsured movers and packers. You can always check with the regulatory bodies and also the consumer forums; the level of service the packers and movers do provide. On the other hand, have all the moving documents in place; unless this aspect of the move is taken care of, you must not let the move start. You should have a clear stipulation of the costs and delivery windows among other terms and conditions before the transport vehicle sets off. It is also important to disclose everything that you need to move or any anticipated obstacles and hurdles the movers and packers might face before the estimate has been produced. The packers and movers are mostly like to add the charges at a later stage in case of additional services rendered. You would also be well advised if you understand the insurance options for your goods.
