How To Find a Good Moving Company
With your move fast approaching, finding a good moving company is more important than ever. While the hunt for a reputable moving company requires research and patience, the payoff can be well worth the effort.
To make sure you are hiring a trustworthy moving company, consider taking these steps:
Read Reviews
To get a feel for how the company operates, scan reviews. Simply search the company name on the web or find out whether they have any affiliations with the Better Business Bureau—a reliable third-party resource that has well over 20,000 reviews for moving-related companies. Be sure to read a balance of reviews, including the good, the bad, and the ugly, and keep an open mind to get a well-rounded look at the company’s customer service.
Be Wary of Large Deposit Requirements
It is important to understand that it’s nearly impossible for moving companies to provide an actual moving estimate without touring your home. Therefore, avoid moving companies that are willing to provide an over-the-phone estimate and require a large deposit. These are signs of an unprofessional service and/or a scam.
Look for Credentials & Experience
Reputable moving companies will have accolades and certifications from third-party organizations that recognize integrity and value customer experience. The American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) is a great example of a third-party resource that holds moving companies to superior standards. Experience is also a great way to determine the company’s reliability as well as their knowledge of the industry.
