When it comes to relocation, hiring a good moving company can make a world of difference. Before you relocate, read Movers.com’s guide on how to look for good companies and how to avoid all those red flags!
(firmenpresse) - Finding the right company to help you with your move can add a heap of stress on top of everything else you have to keep track of. If the fear of falling victim to scams is keeping you up at night, don’t worry; there are things you can do to protect yourself. Movers.com outlines all of those things in their guide on hiring moving companies, so give it a read to arm yourself with all the knowledge you need for your big move!
Hiring Reliable MoversUnfortunately, moving scams have become increasingly common in recent years. One article from Forbes states that over 1,300 moving companies on the Better Business Bureau have been rated “F” due to an overwhelming amount of unresolved complaints. The article goes on to say that, on average, the BBB receives around 13,000 complaints related to moving companies each year. That’s a lot of complaints!
However, Movers.com says that you can avoid unscrupulous movers by taking the time to research companies properly. The website’s guide suggests starting with an online search for local movers, as you’ll be able to glean important information through company ratings and testimonials. One quick scan of the Google reviews will at least give you an idea of whether you should consider hiring the company or not.
Word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbors, friends, family members, and coworkers are also valuable, especially if they have moved recently. You’ll be able to get really up-to-date information this way.
Narrow Down Your SearchOnce you’ve located enough moving companies in your area, you should narrow down your search to three movers that offer services that best fit your needs. That’ll make it easier to compare them. From there, you should contact each company about pricing, insurance, and any extra fees they charge. See why you should keep it to three?
Movers.com notes that it’s also important to consider a business’ years of operation, experience with specialty items, and employee training. Price isn’t necessarily everything! Sometimes it pays to pay more for better service.
Common Red FlagsSpeaking of paying, a company’s rates are another area that requires a lot of attention. Be wary of movers that offer lower-than-average quotes, as this is often an indication of a moving scam; businesses that employ this tactic are likely to increase their prices unexpectedly on the day of the move. Most often, if you refuse to pay, they’ll hold your belongings hostage until you give them the cash.
When it comes to prices, you’ll receive the most accurate estimate from an in-home assessment. Try to avoid companies that only provide estimates via phone, or you might be in for a nasty shock!
Additionally, you should also verify that the movers you want to hire have the appropriate credentials before going ahead with your move. No matter how legit they seem, it’s still always good to check.
