We all know that that moving involves many expenses. Trying to cut down on the costs involved with moving isn’t always easy, especially if you are interested in hiring a professional service provider. This Alpha Moving and Storage article provides some tips and advice that will help you in lowering your moving costs.
Selecting a Cost Effective Moving Service – Starting your Search
We always advise customers to start their search early. Last minute prices, especially during the busy summer months, can get very expensive. Contacting movers six to eight weeks in advance will give you enough time to prepare for the move, compare prices, do some of the packing yourself and reach educated decisions.
Selecting a Cost Effective Moving Service – Finding the Right Company
Companies that specialize in your particular type of move will probably be able to give you a better price. For example, if a company has frequent shipments from the east coast to the west coast, it would probably be able to offer reduced rates in order to fill up its trailers. This is why you need to make sure the company you are considering specialized in the particular type of move you are about to undertake.
Selecting a Cost Effective Moving Service – Finding a Reputable Company
A cheap price received from a disreputable company will always rise on the day of the move. If you make your decision solely based on pricing considerations without checking the reputation of individual companies, you might end up with a disastrous move.
Be sure to check the reputation of each and every company you receive estimates from. Ask for written prices, preferably given by an on-site estimator. Check the reputation of the company with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and think twice before selecting obscure, or unlicensed companies.
