As soon as you know you will be making a relocation you should call a moving company. You will get an idea of the costs associated with moving to plan your budget, also the moving consultant can help you with cost saving measures. Scheduling can get trick, especially during the busy season of the summer, so it is best to get a date on the calendar to avoid the moving company being booked up

The most accurate estimates happen when a moving consultant is able to look at the job in person. Over the phone estimates can work, but a moving consultant is trained to look for things often overlooked by the customer. Nobody wants surprises on move day.

It is best if there is a minimum number of people involved on moving day. Ideally there should be one person at each location who is authorized to coordinate the move. This will keep the process moving quick and efficiently.

Make sure to let your moving company know of any scheduling conflicts. Most times the moving company will be able to help you coordinate the logistics, whether the items need to remain on the truck overnight, put in to storage for an extended period of time, or you are able to work out something with other parties in the transaction.

Check with your mover, but most movers will not move chemicals, paints, firearms, perishable foods, live plants, full fish tanks, etc…

We have found that it is best to remove items from your dressers. During the move dressers are moved at different angles and items could come out from the back of the drawers. Also, the extra weight added to the drawers could cause damage to the furniture and damage the drawers or cause them to come off track. The five minutes to pack your drawers is well worth the elimination of potential damage.

The best way to pick a mover is to ask friends/family/facebook groups who they have used and whether they were happy with the service? Once you get some referals, check the BBB website or other online reviews. Also, drive by the moving company’s location to make sure they are a legitimate company. Be wary of companies with an online presence but no brick and mortar location.
