Questions To Ask Your Moving Company
Choosing the right movers can be a bit tricky. With so many choices and such varying rates, making the right choice may get a bit difficult. Here are 5 questions that you ought to ask moving companies before you settle on the right one. That is why we put together these Questions To Ask Your Moving Company.
- Do they offer binding not-to exceed estimates?
It’s very easy to obtain quotes for a moving job. Most companies offer online assessments so that you are able to obtain a ballpark figure. However, when it comes to obtaining an actual price, you will need to allow the movers to perform an in-house estimate. It is important to ask your moving company whether they offer binding estimates. A binding estimate will maintain the same price as the estimate at the initial stage and you will not have to face sudden price increments.
- How are their charges calculated?
Different moving companies charge in different ways. Some movers charge by the hour and if your move is a local one, then you can ask them to provide you an estimate of how long the work will take and bill accordingly. However, if you are moving to a faraway location, billing by the hour might not be the best choice as the possibility for delays and a chance for considerable price increments is present. In such cases, you can ask for a company that offers their rated by the weight of your belongings. You can also find companies that adjust their charges according to the services that are provided as well as the number of staff members sent. For instance, packing and disassembling or moving large and odd shaped objects may cost extra. Then again, if you have such objects in your house, picking a company with the ability to offer these services even at an extra cost will be well worth the expense.
- What are the coverage limits on their liability insurance?
This is an important question to ask. When you are moving, there are so many things that can go wrong. Damages, lost items and even theft, are not entirely beyond the realm of possibilities. Therefore, asking your movers about their coverage points will help you ensure the safety of your items. This means that you have to be familiar with the fine print of the movers’ insurance offerings. For example, moving companies are often not liable for any damages caused to items that were not packed by them. In such cases, look for valuation protection for damaged goods to minimize your chances of loss.
