Whether relocating from one city to another within Colorado State or whether you are relocating from another state, many individuals choose to hire a professional moving company. Following is a list of helpful tips to help you to determine the right moving company for you.
When you choose a moving company, you want to make certain that you have chosen the right company; therefore, you will want to make sure that you do the following:
- Contact the Better Business Bureau to see if the company has any complaints listed from previous customers
- Check to ensure that the company has moving licenses
- Be sure that you read the estimate you receive from the moving company thoroughly. This includes all fine print. Also, add any special moving requests.
- Research the moving insurance that is offered by the moving company.
- Never go with the lowest estimate. In the end, they can be the most costly.
When you are given a moving estimate there are two types of estimates that you’ll be given.
- On-site estimate
With an on-site estimate you will be given an estimate by a representative of the moving company will come to the site of your property and actually see what is involved in the move and quote from their findings.
- Estimate by the phone: Binding and non-binding
Binding Estimate
With a binding estimate you will discuss the items which you have to move via telephone and the moving company will send you an estimate based on your phone conversation.
Non-Binding moving estimate
With a non-binding moving estimate you offer the moving company a general idea of the size of your home or apartment and the moving company provides you with an estimate based on previous experience with the same size moves.
