Local movers are likely to be more affordable than corporations with fixed fees and hidden charges for every fifteen minutes or so that a move goes over its planned estimation. You’ll usually get the best deal when you opt for local moving companies.
The best way to find a moving company that has proven its metal in the past is to ask people that you trust. If a company has proven itself by providing quality service at a reasonable rate to a friend, they’re likely to give you the same deal. When approaching a moving company upon recommendation, make sure to mention who recommended you when you call. Approaching a company with praise and a good attitude lets the company know that you expect great things from it. An agent who feels appreciated is more likely to go the extra mile to make sure that your satisfaction continues.
Ask for help from other moving services that you’ve used when looking for a local mover. This can include your real estate agent or former apartment manager. Ask for associates that have been proven. You’ll likely get a professional recommendation, or you’ll suddenly have people seeking local movers for you. This can help speed up the time you have to waste looking from scratch.
Look in the yellow pages for moving companies. Then go to the address listed to check them out. If it’s the front of someone’s house, chances are it’s a very small service, if it can even be called a company.
It’s possible to find reliable local movers. If you type your city into a city engine along with the phrase “local movers,” you are sure to get a lot of hits. You may also want to check Craigslist. However, you should never go off an ad or website by itself. Do your due diligence in investigating any company. Never give out personal information, your name, address or any payment or bank information (this includes your credit card) online through a company that you haven’t thoroughly investigated. It’s best to do transactions in person. One should never meet a mover or agent anywhere but in a public location.
Call the mover numbers while at the location to get initial answers to your moving questions.
You’ll want to ask:
You’ll then want to check any potential local mover by the Better Business Bureau. The Better Business Bureau keeps track of any complaints on a business, and it also records what the business did in response to the consumer complaint. That’s one of the best ways to make sure that the moving company you’ve hired is reliable.
