Choosing the Moving Service You Need
By Ispas Marin
There are a variety of services offered by moving company for a wide range of prices. Before going for a moving company service its recommended that you compare different ones. Asking your friends about the experiences they had with the moving services they used can be a good place to start. Alternatively, you can get information about companies that offer moving services from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA).
Its recommended choosing a moving company that is a member of the AMSA or the BBB because their members have agreed to abide by a code and give you the chance to compare movers and their moving services.
Members of AMSA are required to provide disclosure of the moving information, written estimates of the charges that may occur and also provide timely service and give a prompt response to any claims or complaints the customer might have.
After you have your list of moving services providers, you should provide them with the destination and timing of the move. Ask for a detailed list of their moving services and an explanation of the estimates they will provide and get a copy. After all information is compiled compare the moving companies you chose to see which best fits your needs and your budget..
If moving to another state make sure you understand the information youll receive. The moving company is required to give you more then just the brochures explaining the moving services they provide, a copy of a consumer booklet with the title 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move'. Besides that, you should also receive information about the movers participation in a Dispute Settlement Program.
The arrangements for you move should be made in advance, 5-6 weeks before the moving date is a minimum.
Before choosing the mover make sure you understand the following: - rates and charges of the moving company for the services; - the liability for the belongings; - the way pickup and delivery will be done; - the claims protection you have.
