How to Pick Movers

Moving Tips on Choosing Moving Companies

• Firstly, even before talking with a mover, decide in advance which goods will be shipped and which will be sold or given away. Then consider whether or not you would like the mover to pack and what other type of additional services you may want. An estimator may come to your home and create a bid, or make an estimate by talking to you over the phone. Moves that are less than 50 miles away are usually priced by the hour. For longer distance moves, estimates are based on weight, usually per 100 pounds.

Call for the number of the regional office closest to you. Most states do not regulate intrastate moving, however, call your state transportation department to find out if they license movers in your state or have any performance information about individual movers.

Contact your local department of consumer affairs and ask if there are any complaints registered about the movers you're considering. Keep in mind that there are usually two sides to every story. • Ask the right questions such as:

Does your company subcontract its moving services?

Which subcontractors could be used to move my home?

Will the contents of my home be on one truck the entire time?
(Moving goods between trucks increases the potential for damage)

What services are not listed on this bid, and what do you charge for them? What training do your movers and/or packers receive (especially for packing and moving fragile items)?

The charge that you will be billed for your move is based on the weight of your belongings, the distance that you move, and the other services that you require.

Most movers offer two types of : non-binding and binding moving estimates.

Another type of estimate used by many movers is the Not-To-Exceed Estimate. This type of estimate is called various things by various movers, such as Guaranteed Price or Price Protection, but the end result is the same --- an estimate based on a binding moving estimate or on actual cost, whichever is lower. Like a binding moving estimate, a not-to-exceed estimate must be provided to you in writing and is binding on the carrier.
