What Questions Should I Ask My Movers Before My Military Move?

Those planning a military move should ask certain questions of their moving company.

What questions should you ask the movers before your military move gets underway? There are many queries that professional movers commonly field from service members and their families. Fortunately, experienced movers know how to keep everyone properly informed. Here’s what you should ask:

Question #1: How Long Will It Take?

When you receive orders to be at a certain place on a certain date, you absolutely must comply. That expectation is why it is vital that your movers give you a firm arrival date and stick to it. If they don’t, you shouldn’t hire them.

Question #2: How Much Will This Cost?

While it may seem a little confrontational to come right out and ask your movers how much their services will cost, keep in mind that they hear this question every day. Ask for clear details and if you question the price, ask why it is so high – or so low. They can give you a quote well before your move to help you plan. All reputable movers stick by their quotes.

Question #3: Can I Get Valuation Protection?

Valuation protection ensures coverage for your possessions in the event of a mishap. There are varying levels of valuation protection. Make sure you ask your mover about it so you can get the right plan for your move.
