Selecting the Right Moving
Service
• Decide if you can afford the services offered with some left over. Chances
are, whether you do it yourself or get the most expensive service, there
will be a problem with something. Avoid spending all of your money on
the moving service. Run away from any company that asks for a deposit.
They have not performed a service yet, so they should not be asking for
money.
• Choose a company that will give you a full and accurate amount for
insuring your items. The default insurance that comes with most full-
service moves does not cover much. If the company offers you additional
protection, they are being honest with you. By getting in touch with your
insurance company, you can get a handle on how much insurance you
should get and what they will pay for if something goes wrong.
• Check credentials to ensure that whatever service you choose is being
carried out by a licensed company. Ensure that their licenses are current.
For any company you consider, this step is crucial. Steer clear of
application pending companies.
