The golden rule of hiring a moving company is to request a quote before hiring. Never skip this step. It’s the first, and one of the most important, steps of the moving process. No two moving companies operate alike, and many offer quality services for less, while some offer less quality service for more. It’s not possible to see into the future and know which moving company is going to work the best, but it is possible to pay attention to the clues before hiring a company.

The first thing to remember is that any good moving company will offer its potential customer a free quote. This shows that the moving company stands behind its rates and is confident that it can deliver the desired service for the price it offers. A quote that’s put in writing is good insurance, too, against the possibility that a moving company is a scam operation.

There are people that make the mistake of hiring movers before they receive a quote. This is like going into the moving process completely blind. It’s impossible to know if the charges given at the end of the service are completely fair because there wasn’t a list of prices in the beginning to lay out the specific details and price list of the move. Many people neglect to get the price quote and suffer for it later on, especially if the company then claims to have provided services it didn’t provide, or charge more for services than you would have agreed to pay for had you known the prices.

Competition is a good thing in business. It helps the customer get the best deal possible. People that need to hire a moving company should call as many moving companies as possible to obtain a wide range of quotes to choose from. This assures the family or person moving that they’ve made the best decision that could have been made based on the information they obtained before the move.

Once the quotes are in, it’s time to decide the best company for the job. People that are hiring the mover will feel much more comfortable with the process if they’ve done the homework and gotten the quote.
