Posted by Mike on May 23rd, 2017

Moving to a different state or country is stressful and time-consuming. Take the easy route and invest on a mover. Hiring professionals will give you a hassle-free life transition and will give you more time to enjoy bidding goodbyes to everyone you will be leaving behind.

 

To hire the best movers, keep these in mind:

  • Make sure to deal only with a licensed and insured moving company. With persistent news on fraudulent businesses nowadays, it is wise to prevent being a victim of fraud. It will also give you peace of mind knowing that in case you have complaints on their handling staff or broken items during the move, you would know where and who to complain to. It’s good to have someone accountable. So, always be meticulous when sourcing for movers in your area.
  • Moving companies that offer a variety of services in one shop always save you time. Moving to a different place, or moving back home, is mind-boggling. At first, you wouldn’t know what to leave behind or pack up. Therefore, choose a moving company that saves you time and does everything for you, literally everything, especially those things you didn’t know you needed to do, will help. There are certain moving companies that will help load, unload and even pack your items. Some companies even offer FREE professional packing services and protective wrapping on all your items in cases when you are unable to pack everything yourself. Other companies will be willing to make stops along the way in case you need to pick up lent items to friends and family before completely moving. In choosing a moving company, make sure they cover ALL that you need. It will be time-efficient and hassle-free.
  • Look for a company that offers both short and long distance moving. Most people who are moving from the US to Toronto, wouldn’t realize the necessity of initially screening these moving companies based on their capacity to move items on a longer distance until they have already signed a contract with them. So, make sure your Movers Toronto will be the right one for you.
  • Choose movers with a high moving capacity. Choose a mover based on the actual availability of their moving vehicles such as trucks or mini-vans. In case you need to move to a distant place during the peak season or the holidays, the risk of being declined of their service will be minimal because they have enough vehicles to accommodate you and the rest of their customers.
  • Be honest and be open to discussions and negotiations with your moving company. There are a few clients who may be surprised once the moving company bills them out because of the hidden charges. Most moving companies prefer to call these as travel surcharges. Some companies even have other fees that doesn’t readily reflect on the first quotation. So, make sure that when inquiring with a moving company regarding their services, always ask about additional fees and surcharges. This will save you a couple of bucks in the future.

Choosing the right movers will definitely make your life easier and give you more valuable time to be spent on making your last moments in the city with your friends and family matter.
