Get an In-Home or Video Survey
Unless you are moving a small number of items, always ask for a free detailed, in-home or video survey from the moving companies that you select to provide a quote. The quote should be based on the list of items taken during the walkthrough or video survey of your home. Show the moving company all areas of your home to avoid any surprises and any problems parking outside your home or the delivery address. If you are moving to an apartment identify the floor and if a lift is available.
A moving quote should reflect the total cost of the move based upon the size of the move, distance and the time it will take. Explain everything to the moving company to avoid additional costs. Ask if there will be any extra fees for your move based on what you have shown and told them.
Carefully Review the Quotes You Receive
Read through all the quotes you receive and carefully compare prices – do not sign anything before you read it! Get all details of the move plan and costs in writing so you know exactly what to expect from the moving company on moving day. Remember, don’t feel pressured by any company or do anything else you’re uncomfortable with.
