Scheduling Movers Is Easier Than You Think!

Unless you have a lot of manpower and limited belongings, you will probably need to think about considering the help of professional movers so that you can have all of your things moved to your new location. In this case, a man with a van is the best choice to consider, because they have experience with moving a lot of items to and from a variety of locations. With that in mind, below you'll learn more about scheduling movers.

Friends and family

The first thing you'll need to consider is asking your family and friends if they know and can recommend some local movers. When you receive info from people you trust and clear evidence of how professional the movers were it will help you a lot with narrowing down your list of moving companies. If they didn’t use such services in the past or don't know any good ones, then just check the phone book for local movers and then log on to their websites.

Background check

You need to also call the BBB in order to do a background check on the companies you seriously want to consider for taking care of your move. On top of that, you may also want to check if the company is a member of the AMSA and even though membership is optional, if the company you are consider is a member, then you know it will uphold the Code of Ethics.
 

Determine availability

At this point you'll need to determine the availability of the companies you're interested in hiring when you'll need to move. For instance, you should know that at the end of the month (last few days) and during summer are the busiest times, so that is why making an early appointment is very much recommended.

When you find movers that can accommodate your schedule, you should ask them for a quote and how long the move will take. Moving estimates should be based on a physical survey of the belongings if the moving service is located within fifty miles of your house. You may want to waive this survey, but it's currently the best way of assessing how much your move will cost.

Take a decision

Based on the sense of who will provide you the best service and on your research, you will now need to take a decision on the man with a van you want to hire. Some of the factors you may want to consider when making this decision are their extra services, sped of delivery and experience level. For instance, the availability of storage and speed of delivery may be important in long distance moves if the moving company arrives at the destination before you do. Good luck with it!
