The Importance of Estimates

Moving is an exciting time, but with it comes a few logistical challenges associated with finding a moving company, booking travel, securing insurance, scheduling technicians and other obstacles. It may seem like a hassle to go through the back-and-forth process, but in the long-run, shopping around for estimates can save you money!

Research
When it comes to research, too much is never enough. When you find a company, you might want to work with, take a look at their website, social media channels and online reviews to see what services and prices they offer, as well as how they treat their customers. It’s also a good idea to be informed of the job you want completed before you inquire. Knowing an approximation for the service fee will guarantee you feel confident about your choice of provider.

Options
Quotes can vary by hundreds—even thousands—of dollars, so you want to choose the best service for your price range. While you may want to settle with the first company you stumble across or with the best reviews, that may not be what’s best for your budget. Even if you are trying to save money, it isn’t always the best to land on the cheapest company, as they will be dealing with many of your precious possessions.

Ask for Help
While shopping online for estimates may give you the most diverse results, don’t forget to enlist in the help of family and friends when looking for great companies. Taking the time to do the research yourself and asking others for help are a great first step, but there are several resources out there to help with the process. movr is an example of a service that can help take the stress out of looking endlessly for companies to contact for estimates.
