Before you choose a Philadelphia moving company, it is important that you shop around and compare several services. Follow the above steps so you can be sure that you will have a fun and successful move.
1. Ask the moving company to visit your home for assessment and to provide you a quote. They need to see the size of your possessions and determine how much time and effort the move will take. You want to be sure you give you an accurate quote.
2. Request that they put the quote in writing. Demand that they guarantee the quote and provide you the details in writing.
3. Ask if there are additional fees. There are some cases in which moving companies charge extra fees. As an example, if they use packing materials they usually charge for the materials. Other situations in which they charge extra money include additional flights of stairs in the building, obstructions in the street or driveway or anything that prevents them from getting the moving truck closer to the building.
4. Check the company’s reputation and record. Make sure the moving company is both insured and bonded. Find out how items are replaced if any of your possessions gets damaged or lost while in their care. You can also check with The Better Business Bureau to find out about the reputation of the company.
