When considering a moving company, you should always do a thorough research on the available moving companies in your area before short-listing several promising ones that you may then proceed to obtain quotes from. It is fairly common practice to request for referral letters, credentials or any past references from the companies that you have shortlisted.

While interviewing potential moving company representatives, you should always request to see a detailed account of their pricing and tariffs as different companies will have different pricing and tariff structures. Since it is a federal requirement for moving companies to offer insurance plans to their clients, it would be advisable to enquire about their insurance plans as well. Most home moving companies’ charges are based on weight, either actual weight or volumetric weight. From a cost-effective point of view, should there be a choice, it is always better to be charged using actual weight. This applies to insurance plans as well. Needless to say the terms and conditions of the contract need to be studied meticulously and should there be any doubts, feel free to ask the moving company representatives.

It would be wise to be wary of moving companies that only accept cash payments as these are often the dubious sort. Depending on the moving company, you should not pay the company in full until all your belongings have been unpacked, unloaded and assembled in your new home although some moving companies may ask for a down payment. Valuable items such as important documents or jewelry should not be left to the moving company to pack but should be kept with you at all times.
