Long Distance Move
Moving can be a daunting task, especially if you’re moving to a new place far away. Not only do you have to worry about packing and shifting your things, you have to worry about whether your things will arrive safely after hours and hours on the road. Say you’re moving to a different city, or moving up and down the east coast – what are your best options on how to move all your things? The wisest thing to do would be to research, find and hire a professional moving company that has the experience (and the good reviews) of doing long distance moves. You should search for and hire a moving company at least 3-4 weeks before you need to move out. Hiring on short notice usually means you’ll get charged extra by the movers. Moreover, you need the time to do all the research and planning for the move, so it’s best not to leave it to the last minute. Packing all your things is going to take up enough time as it is.
Finding and hiring the right movers for you
1) Research – Get on the internet and find as many moving companies as you can find in your area. Read their websites thoroughly, making sure to read the reviews and testimonials left by their previous customers. You should also check out forums where you can get more objective information, unlike the testimonials on the moving company websites. Make sure to look for both positive and negative feedback because you’ll get a lot more information that way. Another thing you can do is ask around for people who have moved places around the area you’re moving to or from. From them you can get information about which movers they used and how their services were. Find out specifically how the different movers performed on long distances – were they on time to pick up the things as well as delivering them, or was there any damage to the items, or do they provide special packing material, etc.?
2) Selection – After your research, narrow down your options to two or three movers. Speak to customer service representatives and ask about their offers, terms and conditions, pricing, payment methods, insurance, estimated time for delivery, packing materials, and any additional charges. Be sure to leave no stone unturned and get all the information, down to the nitty gritties. After you have all the information, you can finally decide on the one moving company that best suits all of your requirements.
