Hiring Moving Companies - A Brief Walk Through
Published on Monday, 18 October 2010
This article is going to walk you though the basic process of hiring movers and how they work. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about movers.
How far in advance should I book movers?
The sooner you call around for movers, the better. Moving companies need at least four to six weeks notice. If however, you are organizing an emergency move, say your lease contract is about to expire, moving companies may charge a bit more.
How do they charge for transporting stuff?
Some charge by mileage, others by the weight of the goods. But generally, movers charge by the hour.
Are quotes necessary?
Quotes or estimates are often arranged to give you an accurate amount of how much the entire process is going to cost. It is best to obtain 2 to 3 quotes from different companies to make sure you get the best service that you can afford. Free quotes are usually being given over the phone.
When is the best time to move?
If possible, avoid scheduling your move during summer, holidays or end of the month as these periods are the peak season for moving. Moving companies usually charge more during these months. However, it is always best to move when it is most suitable for you.
How long does take to finish a move?
The completion of the move depends on the distance, weather and the items that need to be transported. It is often necessary to perform two or more trips to deliver all your goods into your new home.
