Tips for Finding a Reliable Moving Company
Professional moving company
Asking friends and family for a recommendation
The first and most reliable step is to contact friends and family who have moved in the past year. Their experiences can provide hard proof of the quality, professionalism, and price of the moving company they used.
Searching online
Looking online for movers is not a strange task these days; it is a great way to find all kinds of small businesses. To find them, one has to write a city and the service needed—in this case, movers—in the search engine and choose from the list. However, the list alone is insufficient to find the best movers; there are other criteria to use to weed out bad moving companies.
Reading online reviews
Reviews on Google Maps, Yelp, HireaHelper, etc., are a great way to choose a company based on other people's experience. It is worth reading multiple reviews, the ones with one star, three stars, or even five stars. That way, it is easy to see if the company has recurring issues. If a company has a few bad reviews but others are great, that doesn't mean it is bad; it is still worth checking out.
Contacting moving companies
It is a good idea to list companies of interest and contact them based on read reviews. The most important question for those companies is proof of their legitimacy—license numbers and insurance. A good moving company doesn't hide those licenses. Most of them even have all the necessary information listed on the website.
The next thing worth asking is a moving estimation. It gives an approximate moving price based on the volume, type, and distance. Some moving companies do it all online; others do it in person. Both options are good, which means a person can choose the one that better suits their lifestyle. Online estimations consist of detailed surveys about the move, and the other one implies the mover will come to the spot (an apartment, house, office, etc.) to give an estimation.
The final choice
Looking for movers is a process that will take some time, but the most important thing is to be satisfied with the chosen company. When moving, people are relocating memories and parts of their lives, not just things or belongings, so picking a professional moving company1 will ensure that the items stay damage-free.
