Assessing Your Needs
The first step in analyzing any moving professionals is to take into consideration what your specific needs will be for your move, and then account for whether or not the moving company offers services to take care of that need. Do you simply need basic services, like moving pre-packed boxes, transporting and delivering furniture from one location to another? Or do you need full-service moving help, from planning and packing to storage? Something in between? Is your move already well-planned, or do you need help coordinating logistics? Is it a fast turnaround requiring efficient work done on a tight schedule? Do you need professional packing services? Is your move local or long distance, or even international?
As you can see, there are a lot of questions that need answered before you can determine exactly what type of mover you need, and whether or not the company you are considering offers the solutions to cover those needs. To keep everything clear so that you know exactly what you’re looking for, it may help you to write out your answers to each of the questions in the above paragraph, and include any extra details that you think might be helpful (like, do you have any special furniture moving needs, or fragile items?)
Evaluating Mover Qualifications
Once you know what you need from a mover, and you know that mover offers the full extent of services you need, it’s time to take into account the quality of that mover. Sure, affordability is certainly a big consideration, but what good is choosing the cheapest mover if you have to replace broken or damaged goods after your move? Check out the moving company’s affiliations to assess the quality of their services, and whether or not they hold themselves accountable for safe, expert moving. Look for these qualifications:
- AMSA – American Moving & Storage Association Affiliation
- ProMover Status
- A+ Rating with the BBB – Better Business Bureau
- Van Line Agent for Long Distance Services
- Five-Star Customer Ratings and Reviews
