Uprooting your life in one place and moving to another can be a tiresome process. It is especially tasking to move your belongings because you have to hire movers to transport them to your new place. The moving company your hire may have rave reviews on its website, an impeccable record, and classy service, but there’s no telling that it’ll translate when providing you service. Rather than hiring a moving company just by browsing a few pages online, ask a few questions before finalizing on one.
Here are five important questions you should ask your moving company before you hire their services.
- Can they provide references of past customers?
The reviews you see on the moving company’s website may only be a part of the customers’ testimonials. When you talk to the customer, you will know their actual experience with the company. You can ask if they have faced any issues with the company or if their possessions were delivered on time and many other questions that will give you a better idea of the company. If the company is unwilling to provide details, find out why.
- What payments methods do they accept?
Cashless transactions are becoming commonplace and your movers should be having alternative payment processes in place. However, some accept only cash. Be wary of such moving companies as there can be discrepancies in the deposit amount, refunds, and net amount due. Check if the moving company accepts credit/debit cards, cheques, and online transfers. The flexibility in payment methods can also be a reflection of the company and its reputation.
- How do they wrap and pack items with special needs?
Not every item in your house can be handled the same way. Some items need to be packed and moved with a bit more care than the others. These include electronics, antiques, musical instruments, mirrors, glass furniture, and other valuable possessions. Ask them about the quality of the equipment used to pack and transport these items onto their truck. In addition, enquire if they have experience in handling such items. If not, ask how they intend to handle them.
- What is the company’s hiring process?
While this may seem like an odd question to ask your movers, it is quite important. By asking about the hiring process, you are able to gauge the kind of people they hire. If they are hiring ex-cons, many temporary workers, or unreliable people who will not care about your possessions, then look for another moving company.
- Do they have any questions for you?
The representative from the moving company should also ask you questions. If they simply listen to your needs and are ready to start moving, then beware. They will not take proper care of your belongings. Reliable movers are those who ensure they have all the information from the owner before they start the moving process. If they provide an estimate without asking a single question, you’re better off without their services.
There is an overwhelming number of moving companies in Florida. Ask the right questions and put your valuable possessions in the right hands. If you are looking for movers in and around Florida, check out www.movingwithclass.com and get a free quote.
