1
Not Planning Your Move
Failing to do so may cause you a lot of stress and money. 60 days before the move you should start planning every step, moreover start by allocating the budget for your future relocation.
2
Fail to Ask for an In-house Estimate
Most companies offer in-house binding estimates. Not getting one could be your biggest blunder when planning a move.
3
Not Obtaining Multiple Moving Quotes
We are always looking to get the biggest bang for the buck, so shopping around for a moving company is necessary, just like shopping for any other product.
4
Not Researching The Moving Companies
Ask friends and family for recommendations or read moving companies reviews online. Check if the moving company is licensed & insured.
5
Choosing The Company With The Lowest Quote
Only rogue movers would offer 30 to 40 percent lower than other movers prices. They want to get you on the hook, and then all of a sudden additional charges start piling up.
6
Bypassing Items During The Estimate
Not disclosing things to the moving company will definitely bring the cost higher in the end.
7
Packing Poorly Day Before The Move
Get professional packing materials and wrap fragile items carefully.
8
Failing To Understand Your Insurance Options
All moving companies offer basic limited liability free of charge, yet this is not insurance. Don't get surprised by not knowing what happens.
9
Entrusting Irreplaceable Valuables In The hands Of The Movers
All jewelry, silverware and important documents for example should also be kept safe in your car when relocating. Try to keep all antiques or expensive inherited valuables with you.
10
Not understanding the moving paperwork
Make sure you read the fine print and never sign blank paperwork.
