Choosing Your California Long Distance Movers
There are a lot of moving companies out there. How do you know you are choosing the right one? The best way to make sure, is to do your research.
- What kind of experience does this company have: You are entrusting a moving company with all of your worldly possessions. Would you rather hire a company that has only been in business for a few months, or would you rather work with a company that has been in the moving business for years? Make sure they know what they are doing.
- Are they registered with the Department of Transportation: The law states that interstate movers must be registered with the Federal government and have a S. DOT number. You should make sure that they are registered before doing business with them.
- Check the internet for reviews: Look at reviews on sites like Yelp. Look at the reputation of the company. See how issues were resolved. It is easy to get a good review when nothing went wrong, but when they handle a problem appropriately and the customer is still happy, you know they are a company with integrity.
- How is damage handled: The law requires insurance to cover only $0.60 per pound. Your company may offer more coverage than that. Some will cover the replacement cost or the depreciated value of your things. You will want to know which it is.
- What services does the company offer: Do they offer packing and unpacking? How much extra will it cost. Make sure you know what services you want to take advantage of and check on the cost.
- Easy to contact: Your moving company should be easy to get ahold of in case of a problem. You could consider using a local company to guarantee you will be able to get in touch with them.
