2 Habits of Highly Effective Moving Companies

What should you look for in a moving company you can count on to handle your move with excellence?

Are you seeking a dependable moving company to help you with an upcoming move? It’s important to look for more than just a nice website and catchy business name. The moving company you choose could make or break the entire moving process for you. It can either help it to go smoothly and efficiently or create a hot mess and chaos that you will regret for months to come.

Here are two top habits of highly effective moving companies you will want to keep in mind as you search for the right team of movers:

#1: They Provide a Free, Accurate Quote

Financial surprises are no fun at all, especially when you are already dealing with the expenses of a move. Ask any moving company you are considering about the accuracy of their quotes and whether or not they will provide a free one. If the answer is no, keep looking.

A successful moving company knows how important an accurate, free quote is to people who are in planning mode. Coming up with a budget—and sticking to it—is super important. The right company will work with you closely to ensure you get a quote that is fair and dependable.

#2: They Don’t Charge a Large Deposit

If a prospective moving company is asking you for a large chunk of change upfront as a deposit for their services, consider this a red flag. Trustworthy professional companies only require payment upon delivery. Paying upfront may leave you in a vulnerable position and it’s possible they could take the money and run—and you wouldn’t have your belongings. Protect yourself and your move by checking references and all of the details of the company before hiring a company for the job.
