In the time when a lot of moving companies have come in play, experts give some advice on how people can make a conscious and wise decision of picking the right moving company.

Checkbook executive editor Kevin Brasler has shared that for the same work & same move, certain companies charge double the price from the customer. He mentioned a recent move where packing ranged from less than $4,000 to more than $8,000 for the same work. He suggested that people need to get multiple companies to their houses to examine the need. People need to make sure they get the written estimates with them, from every moving company, with the maximum fees they will be paying.

Brasler’s other suggestion is to stop searching for middleman broker companies online and instead deal with local moving companies. The online dealers are getting payment in advance and thus one can’t do anything if something goes wrong once the service is bought. “They’re getting payment in advance, and so you really have very little recourse if something goes wrong,” he said.

If the mover does all the packing, it will double the cost. One needs to find out whether the items packed are covered under company’s insurance or not. This will help in case the things received are broken. If the local company is hired, you can check and pay later, reducing the cost of a broken material. But the same isn’t the case with online bought deal.

Other tips from Checkbook included – making sure the company makes a complete list of the belongings which it shares with the customer, being present and paying attention when items are loaded and unloaded, scanning all the belongings carefully to look for damage if any, & not signing any release papers without first noting what all has been damaged.
