Tips to find and detect a good moving service

When you need help with your move and decide to hire a professional service, it can be difficult to choose the right one because of the large number of companies that offer quality moving services. Even if it's your first time moving, it would be complicated to determine which one to trust and how to know if the price or quotation they offer is the right one for you. 

👍 That is why we offer you some tips to know how to hire the best possible service and get a price according to your needs

How to determine the best company to hire your moving service?

• • When contacting the companies, detect what is the specialty of each one.
  • Choose the one that is in an area close to where you are moving, being the current location or the one you are moving to.
    • Some companies only offer local moving services, so it's important to know their coverage and if they offer national and/or international moving services.
  • If what you need is a company to help you relocate to another country, it's recommended to check if they have the required means of transportation, such as shipping companies or enough trucks to move you.
  • A good tip to detect if they offer a responsible and quality service is to make sure that they comply with the regulations; that is if the company is officially registered, if it offers adequate insurance coverage, or has the necessary resources to transport your belongings.

What do quality moving services usually offer?

Remember that each company may offer different services and the prices vary, which may depend on the volume to be moved or the distance and accessibility of the place you are moving to.

You should know that not all of them offer the service of packing the furniture or the insurance to protect your move from any risk. Therefore, it is recommended that when you are about to decide on a company, you list the services you require to make sure you get them at the best possible quality.

Remember that in these situations you should not base your decision solely on price. Quality in this sector has a cost and it may be what reduces all potential damages to your belongings along the way.

Tips for quoting

• • In order to receive a quote with a competitive and acceptable price without excluding quality, you should take into account the season of the year.
    • Moves usually increase during the summer months, so the high demand may slightly increase the prices.
  • Another thing we would like to point out (although it does not apply to all situations) is to ask for an estimate by grouping moves. That is to say, gathering more than one moving service in the same vehicle can reduce the company's expenses in terms of fuel and transportation mileage, among other resources, thus generating a more economical price.

As last tips before deciding on a quotation, and taking into account all the above information, we recommend you taking the following steps: 

• 1. Make sure you do your search for the moving company as far in advance as possible.
  2. Visit the company's website, official social networks, or any electronic media to get to know it better and identify the name and image of the transportation units and personnel involved.
  3. Verify the office address of the company you are interested in hiring.
  4. If it's possible for the company, you can request a physical visit so that they can observe the goods to be moved and be more precise when making the quotation.
  5. If you have a couple of competing companies, you can make a comparison of their proposals to define what they offer and what each one commits to in order to make your decision.

The best advice is always to hire a company that offers quality service but also gives you certainty, creating a pleasant environment in which they clarify your doubts with security and have as a priority the care and protection of your belongings.
