I was asked by my friends at MyMovingQuote.com to review their website.
A first look shows that the site concentrates on providing a complete directory for online moving companies, services and listings for professional movers and associated specialty services. Also, numerous articles on moving are provided to help educate the consumer on this important aspect of everyday life.
As one who has move a number of times, I can attest that the experience of moving from one house to another is a significant burden on one’s time, energy, bank balance and even one’s emotions. Researching, calling and shopping around before contracting the move will go a fair piece towards making the move less stressful.
The Better Business Bureau receives numerous complaints each year about the problems that consumers encounter when using even the most professional and better-known moving companies. The most common complaints are of damage to personal goods. Other concerns were about lost items, delays in moving and overcharging above the contracted price. The key to a successful move is to 1} plan carefully, 2) obtain written quotes, 3) ensure any contract is comprehensive in nature and 4) make sure that the contract is completely understood before signing.
Some moving companies form their quote on the basis of the time it takes to move the household possessions or office furniture. Other movers quote on the quantity or weight of the items to be moved. Quotes obtained over the phone or using the web put the responsibility on the customer to form an accurate estimate of the amount of items to be moved, either in quantity or weight. The most accurate quotes are obtained by having the moving companies come to your home or office, survey the type, quantity and weight of items to be moved and complete the quote form while on premises.
No reputable moving company can guarantee that all of your property will arrive at its final destination in the same condition as it started out. Damage to your property can occur in transit, in storage and/or when it is being carried in or out of the moving truck into your home or office. Things can be accidentally dropped, dented, or broken by employees of the moving company.
It is rare that insurance coverage obtained through a mover features unlimited liability. The coverage will most probably not completely cover the value of your property if lost or damaged. It is extremely important to make sure that your possessions are adequately insured before you move. As such, you will want to discuss the insurance matters with a qualified professional, usually your insurance agent or a representative of the company that may currently be underwriting coverage on your home or office.
