Planning a move from Raleigh, particularly a long distance move out of the state, should always be done as far in advance as possible. Even if you do not have exact moving dates yet, it is still a wise decision to start finding out about moving companies in the area that offer top quality moving services.
There are three common errors or oversights that are made when planning a move. Being aware of these issues can help prevent the risk of making these mistakes with your move.
Not Researching the Company
The internet makes it very easy to find out best moving companies. The company’s website provides information on the types of moving services they offer, as well as any associations, groups, or agencies they are approved by or affiliated with.
Two important considerations for any consumer are the promoter designation and being an accredited BBB member. Both of these designations show the commitment to quality service for customers.
Waiting Until the Last Minute
Sometimes, people wait to book a mover until the last minute. For long distance moves, particularly on weekends or over the late spring to early fall, this can make finding a top mover a problem. To avoid having to settle for another moving company, always book at least 2 months in advance, or three to four months for the summer peak moving season.
Choosing the Mover on Price Alone
There can be a significant difference in prices quoted between moving companies. This may be the difference between a binding quote or a non-binding estimate, or it could indicate fewer services included by one company or another.
Always be sure to ask Raleigh moving companies any questions for the quoted price. Understand the type of quote and what the service includes, and make sure this is in writing before signing any agreements.
