When planning a relocation with professional movers, you should ask questions to better understand how they operate. A moving company will also ask you questions to help you plan for a smooth relocation. 

As a professional moving company, we have worked with numerous customers to plan smooth relocations. This article will cover some topics to discuss with a professional mover before hiring. 

Understanding the Moving Company 

When initially contacting a moving company, you should aim to gather general information about their business history. The company's years in operation and certifications can help you understand their professionalism.

Additionally, you should ask for references from past customers who requested a similar service. The references can help you better understand what it's like to work with a moving provider. 

Services and Capabilities

Every relocation presents unique challenges and requirements for professional moving companies. As a customer, it's important to confirm that the mover offers the services necessary for the relocation's success. 

If you have high-value or fragile items, you should ask if the mover has experience moving similar items. An experienced mover with the right capabilities will help to bring you peace of mind. 

Estimate of Services

Asking for a written estimate for your relocation is an important step in the hiring process. A professional mover will provide an accurate estimate with a breakdown of the service's costs.

When requesting a quote, you should also ask if there are any additional charges you should be aware of that will be implemented after the move. Depending on their business processes, a mover may add fuel surcharges or stair fees. 

Insurance and Liability

Insurance and liability protection are important topics you should discuss with a mover. A professional moving company must offer full-value and basic insurance protection for its customers. 

As preparation, you should ask how a mover handles claims for items damaged during the moving process. Movers will give you an estimated timeline to receive compensation for your damaged items.
