6 ways to find a trustworthy relocating company

Accommodating the services of a trustworthy relocating company requires some research on your part. Though it can be a bit time taking the reward will be great. You will be able to relocate with less stress. 

Here are some ways that will help you in finding a trustworthy packer and mover company: 

1. Look for the mover with local representation

You should find a company that is locally based. Additionally, pick the mover that makes a visit to your place for a visual survey of the items you need to move. Therefore, you are advised to not book any mover with an internet-based moving agent. In this way, you will not be able to know the company that will actually deal with you. 

2. Make sure the company is licensed 

Another important thing that you need to look at the moving company to make sure it is trustworthy is the license. Only a licensed company can ensure your safety and the right movement of your belongings from one place to another. Don't believe in the company which only speaks about its goodwill instead call the regulatory agency and find out the details yourself.

3. The moving company should carry the proper insurance 

You should ask your potential relocating company about the workers' compensation insurance. If the company doesn't have the insurance, you could be liable for anything that happens to the mover on your premises. This compensation insurance not only adds to the company's cost of doing business but also you are protected in case someone is injured during your movement. 

4. Look for the actual existence of the company

You have to protect yourself from scam websites and fake companies. Make sure the potential moving company should have a business address on its website. You must ask the company about all the business documents, address, email id. If the company hesitates to provide you any of the required details, reconsider hiring that company. 

5. Look for  recommendation

The best place to find out the most trustworthy sales pitch for any company is to ask the customers. You can look for the reference of customers who have already used the service of a particular company. However, recommendations are not dependable because, in the end, you will get the details of the customers only from the company and so trusting it is still doubtful. 

6.  Understand pricing

You must find out the pricing policy of the company. Look if the company charges on an hourly basis or by weight. The moving company charges for local moves are made on an hourly basis whereas charges for long-distance moves are based on the weight of the shipment. Also, the rules can vary from one state to another so, before speaking to the relocation company for your move, don't forget to understand the pricing.
