Dont book a moving company immediately
No matter how perfect you find a moving company,
never be in a hurry to book them. Take your time
and look out for more moving companies. You could
end up with a better packing and moving company
with comparatively lower prices.
3
Try hiring Packers and Movers through the
directory portal
Directory portals know how to verify packing and
moving companies. They always verify moving
companies and their services before recommending
them to their callers. So, you will get double
authentication of the moving company if you
verify the moving company yourself after getting
verified recommendations from a directory portal
like Thepackersmovers.com. And this is one of the
biggest benefits of booking a moving company
through a directory portal.
4
Get a pre-moving survey
Ask for Pre-Move Survey from all the options of
moving company you have. It is one of the best
ways to get to know the moving company and their
services and ask them your doubts. Always
remember to take the moving quote in writing
while getting a pre-moving survey. There are
times when moving companies either increase the
price of services once you have booked them or
add additional hi9dden charges to the bill. A
moving quote in the written format will save you
from such situations, and you will pay only the
amount that the moving company has initially told
you. The written quote will serve as proof of the
same.
5
Ask questions
Whenever you are hiring a professional for their
services, never hesitate to ask relevant
questions regarding their services. These
relevant questions include asking for the
availability of insurance and how they provide
coverage on the same, warehousing facility if
they transport vehicles or not, etc. Ask them
everything about their services and also get to
know how they initiate the process. Hire them
only when their answers satisfy you.
6
Take time to do online research
There are multiple ways to know if the moving
company is genuine or pretends to be genuine. And
one such way is called doing online research. You
can find out a lot about a moving company
online. Check their presence on social media,
see how active they are and on which website.
Explore their official website and analyze all
the customer reviews and ratings properly. If you
find out anything fishy, note it down and
continue exploring.
7
Verify their legal documents
This is one of the main things that will confirm
the moving companys genuineness to you. Remember
to verify documents like GST number, moving
license, and whether they have their vehicles or
use rented trucks. While doing this check-up, be
cautious of similar brand names. If the documents
are genuine and the moving company looks
confident, then there is no problem at all. But
if anything looks fishy, the moving company might
be a fraud and an imitation of a genuine company
with the same name. So, beware!
8
Visit their official address
No matter how small, a genuine moving company
will have a proper office to meet its clients and
customers. And if you are keen on knowing if you
are making the right choice while selecting your
service providers, you must visit their office
too. And while you are there, look at vehicles,
labor, notice boards, etc. This will give you a
good insight into their internal processing and
you will be able to choose better.
9
Discuss the matter with your family and
acquaintance
When you are finally done talking to a directory
portal, taking all the moving quotes, getting a
pre-moving survey, doing thorough research about
the moving company, and visiting the moving
companys office, its time to share the results
with those who can guide you well. With all the
information you have collected, talk to your
family and see which moving company you find
perfect. And then, hire that moving company based
on your research and common family agreement.
10
Never Pay the Full Moving Cost in Advance
You have to pay some amount of money in advance.
So that the moving company can initiate the
shifting process and the unavailability of funds
wont be an issue. But always keep most of the
amount to yourself and pay advance in a limited
portion. And no matter what, never pay the full
amount of shifting in advance. Talk about the
advance payment and mode of payment with your
service provider during the pre-move survey.
Dont hire that moving company if they ask you to
pay in full or more than half of the payment in
advance.
