Reputation and affordability – two words that will determine the success or failure of your move. You would be surprised to learn that many people do not take enough time to carefully study both the reputation and the affordability of potential relocation service providers.
This new Alpha Moving and Storage article will help you with getting more details about the reputation and affordability of each company you will be considering for your upcoming move.
Discovering the Real Moving Price
The real moving price is not always the one you see at the bottom of your estimate. Charges are based on either weight/cubic feet for long distance moving and a rate per hour for local moves. A well-known shady business practice is to deliberately lower the amount of estimated weight or hours on the estimate, thereby cosmetically lowering the total. This is why checking the basic charge unit is so important.
Checking the Real Extra Fees
In addition to checking the basic charge unit, you should pay close attention to all potential extra fees and charges. Such charges include fees for packing materials and packing labor, charges for various certificates, such as certificates of insurance, stairs and elevator fees and long-carry fees. Make sure the rates for such extra fees appear on your written estimate. As for reputation, simply ask your mover for all relevant licensing information and don’t forget to check its Better Business Bureau record.
Saving Money
How can you save money for your move? Making some appropriate preparations can make a big difference. Contact potential movers at least six weeks in advance. At the same time, start thinking about packing preparations, order boxes, and packing materials.
Packing items such as books and files can save you a lot of money on the day of the move. Making an early reservation can help you avoid paying higher fees, especially during the busy summer months.
