Look at Customer Reviews
When you begin the elimination process, you need to research all of the available interstate moving companies. New Jersey has several, but you can easily remove any companies that have bad customer reviews. It’s important that you thoroughly search the internet for customer reviews from a variety of sources, and from there, you can begin to sort out the dishonest and unreliable moving companies. Any movers with excellent reviews should go to the top of your list, but there are still more criteria that need to be met.
Ask About Van Line Affiliations
After you have narrowed down your options, you should check out the companies’ websites to see if they are affiliated with any van lines. Not all companies have an affiliation, but the ones that do often have access to more moving and storage resources throughout the country. As a result, they are typically better equipped to handle long distance and interstate moves. Some of the most popular van line names to look for are:
- Allied Van Lines
- Atlas Van Lines
- Bekins Van Lines
- United Van Lines
- Wheaton Van Lines
Consider Awards & Certifications
You should also take a moment to look for any awards or certifications. For example, a company with a reputation for excellent service could have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. You should also look for any ProMover-certified companies or businesses with the Angie’s List Super Service Award. If the company doesn’t have any awards and certificates listed, feel free to call one of their representatives to ask about their accolades.
Research Industry Affiliations
Lastly, you should check to see if your top picks have any other industry affiliations. Whether they partner with a logistics company or several storage companies, these affiliations give them access to more tools to get your move done quickly and efficiently. To find these affiliations, search the company website or give them a call.
