Shipping & Moving Articles Directory

Planning to relocate in the near future? A move is a big deal. Make the improper selection & you might regret it for a long time. These are some suggestions:

License & Insurance:

Check to make sure that you pick a mover that is licenced and insured. Each mover has to be licensed & insured by law. The type of license & insurance does can be different from state to state.

Place of Business:

Check to make sure that the movers you pick have a physical location & that it actually exists. Having their physical location is important if it’s necessary to make a claim. Be careful when dealing with a moving company without an actual address.

The Salesman:

Ask if the moving company is a moving company or a broker. A broker is not a moving company, they are a third party that brings together you the shipper with a moving company in order to charge you a fee. They do not work for the moving company they just provide the mover with the interested potential customer. You don’t know who is going to show up at your door the day of the move.

Some Questions You Should Ask:

Insurance

What is the degree of insurance the moving company provides for your move?
Does the mover propose different insurance choices different than just basic coverage?
What is the procedure to file a claim if needed?

Methods of Payment

What methods of payment are accepted – cash, check, money order, or credit cards?
Is a deposit taken & can I get my money back if I chose to not use your service.
When is payment due?

Is The Company Credible?

Ask how long the moving company has been doing business?
Ask if the moving company has client references?
Ask if the moving company is licensed to execute moving services in the locality?
Ask if the moving company uses their own vehicles & workers or does the company subcontract vehicle’s & staff?
