How will you figure out my moving estimate? Will it be an
in-home moving estimate?
Answer: Accurate Moving estimates should ALWAYS be an
in-home estimate. How can someone provide a moving rate for items they have
never seen? They cannot. Moving companies know this put often times they do not
want to do the work to give the in home estimate.
Are you basing my moving rate on weight or cubic feet?
Answer: True and accurate moving estimates are based on
weight. Moving companies that base is on cubic feet more than likely have
hidden charges that you will not
realize until it is too late.
Does this moving company rate include all fees and taxes?
Answer: The moving estimate should have line items that show
each and every charge for your move. Review all the items and have a signed
copy sent to you.
Can this moving rate fluctuate in price or is it a
guaranteed not to exceed binding moving estimate?
Answer: Some moving companies will provide estimates based
on weight without a "guaranteed not to exceed" clause. That is okay as
long as you know that up front. However, it is always better to have your
moving estimate based on a "guaranteed not to exceed binding moving
estimate." That way you know the absolute maximum amount you will pay for
your move. This is a very important step when reviewing moving companies.
Do you provide moving insurance? If so, what are the costs?
If not, who can I go to for moving insurance?
Answer: All legitimate and reliable moving companies provide
some sort of moving insurance. It is typically a rate multiplied by your moving
weight. If, however, you decide to use a moving company that does not offer
moving insurance, please attain moving insurance through a third party. Your
household goods are far too valuable to just toss onto a moving truck and hope
they arrive safely. If the "moving company" does in fact provide
insurance you may want to ask to see a copy of the policy rather then just
taking their word for it. Once you review the moving company's insurance you
can then feel more confident in your mover.
Will I be paying more for my move if your movers take a long
time to load the items?
Answer: If your move is a long distance move, then your rate
is not affected by how long the moving laborers take. If your move is a local
move, then the moving company will charge you an hourly moving rate. In that
case, yes you will pay more if the moving laborers take a long time. In
situations like that, research the moving company and have them write down in
the moving estimate how many hours they feel it will take to complete your
move. Always remember to keep good records of any conversations and paperwork
that movers or moving companies give you.
When your movers take apart items to load, are they going to
increase the moving price?
Answer: Typically moving companies do not increase the
moving price if they are to take apart large items. The moving company usually
includes that in the moving estimate. However, always ask to be on the safe
side. At times a moving company may have hidden cost by taking an item apart
and then wrapping it in boxes or other moving supplies and then charge inflated
moving costs later.Best Moving Company moving company vancouver bc
