Imagine the scenario. You select a mover, set up a particular date for pickup as well as door delivery, and even sign an agreement with the mover. On the particular day, you are standing at the new home and all your goods are locked in the mover’s truck out front itself. The mover has stacked a bunch of additional charges on your bill and is telling you if you do not pay the fee, you will not get your things. That means the company you thought was going to carry all your heavy stuffs and make your shifting day much simpler now is holding your possessions hostage.

Unluckily, these kinds of things happen. Therefore you have to be ultra cautious about selecting a moving company as well as very watchful about managing the contract with that mover. Read more tips below:

Research Companies

Firstly, perform informal research to make out which movers do good work. Send out emails to friends to find out if they’ve any warnings or recommendations about moving companies that they've hired in past. If the movers you are interested in provide some references, call them. Once you narrow your choices down, check out with Better Business Bureau about any movers you're considering. In case, one of those movers has had a lot of complaints filed, then that isn’t the company that you want to utilize.

Get Over One Estimate


For an interstate move, charges are dependent on weight of items you want to move, the distance, packing and all other related services. Get at least a couple of estimates or more, well in advance for your shift. You may even wish to meet with any relocation consultant personally and have him/her come to your house. That way, consultant can have a look at all your belongings and provide a solid estimate about the costing to transport the things. When you talk with the movers, ask whether their estimate is binding or nonbinding.

Make Sure that the Mover is Alert of Everything To Be Moved

Ensure that the mover is completely alert of everything that needs to be moved. Here is why: The costs will rise if you add anything to the shipment later that wasn’t included in your estimate. Also, ensure that the mover is alert of any circumstances that may make the move difficult. For instance, is there a chance that the moving trucks will have a difficult time parking at the new place? If mover needs to park the truck far away, you might be charged additional money for walking that movers get your belongings to your new home.

Pay Attention to Contract

The movers will issue you bill of lading, the legal contract between customer and mover. Ensure to carefully read it and ensure that you understand the contract before signing it. Then, ensure to get your copy of bill of lading. In case something goes wrong, then you'll wish to have it useful to state your own case. And after you sign that bill, you should pay whatever it says you are supposed to pay.

Stick to Your Fixed Delivery Date

Once the shipment is picked, you may incur the storage cost if you change door delivery date. Therefore try to ensure that you're capable to move in your new house on the fixed date. Otherwise, you might wind up putting your things in storage, which can cost you large money that you otherwise could have saved if you have had been more planned. You also may want to buy additional insurance coverage for high-priced arts or hire some special handlers for such items.
