Long Distance Packers and Movers

Packers and Movers in Yelahanka

Before you begin interviewing moving companies, there are a few things you should consider before hiring any one of them. To find out about Packers and Movers in Yelahanka, click here

For example, discuss insurance with each moving company you interview. Each company is required to carry cargo insurance, so there is some coverage, but check with your homeowners insurance to see if movers and packers handling your belongings are covered. If you hire long distance movers, they must be properly insured to cross state lines. They should also be bonded to cover any accidents that occur during the moving and storage process.

Choose another mover if a moving company does not believe it is necessary to visit your home before providing moving quotes. Nothing beats an in-home moving quote for precision. The movers and packers must see the exact type of furniture and accessories you have.

It is critical to include very specific details when discussing your moving and storage needs with the company. For example, if the movers arrive and discover you have a water bed that needs to be drained prior to moving and storage, it will throw their schedule off and cause a problem for both you and the company. If the movers and packers arrive at your home and discover that they require a piano mover, you will face the same issue. Examine your valuables as well, because home movers are trained in the best methods for preserving breakables and collectibles so that the movers and packers do not break them.

Allow no movers or packers to touch your belongings until you have a signed contract in hand. The company is not liable if you do not have a written agreement. The movers should provide you with written moving quotes outlining every service they will provide, from moving and packing to moving and storage. You don't want any unpleasant surprises when it comes time to pay your mover and discover that the moving company charged an additional fee for that vintage sofa.

Remember, no reputable moving company will provide you with moving quotes without first conducting an onsite survey. Local movers must inspect each piece of furniture in order to estimate the weight and bulk for the home movers to lift and carry. Long-distance movers must do the same, plus factor in the fact that moving and storage may cross state lines.

Long distance movers charge by the pound, whereas local movers charge by the hour. So, before hiring a moving company, go through your belongings and remove anything you don't want movers and packers to touch. Have a garage sale before your home movers arrive so you aren't paying a mover to transport items you will simply discard once you arrive at your new home.
