Questions To Ask A Moving Company
Moving in to a new home is partly exciting and partly demanding and tiring, hence the best way to somehow lessen the stress of moving in is hiring a moving company. There are many movers Frisco to hire, and as expected, some are good with what they do, while some are average, and there are some that are worse.
To make sure you can hire the best moving company there is, asking questions is what you need to do. Some are not too confident asking questions as they think that if they do so, they need to hire the moving company’s service. Actually, it is not the case as asking questions is the right of the customer. But of course, the questions to be asked must be relevant to the service they provide to avoid wasting their time and efforts.
To help you get started, below are few of the questions you can ask a moving company that you might hire:
-
What services do you offer?
What are the services they offer? Apart from moving your items from point A to point B, do they also pack and unpack your belongings? Do they have an available storage facility, just in case you need to temporarily park your belongings? Do they have an interior designer to arrange your appliances and furniture to where they should be?
Choosing a moving company that offers almost all services you need when moving in to your new home is a good idea. A one stop shop will add convenience to the very stressful move.
-
Can you cater on my required date?
You have to make sure that the moving company you choose to hire is available on the date you need their service. Sure, if the moving company is popular and highly trusted, expect that most of their future schedules are full, hence if you want to make sure that they are the company that will move your belongings, book their service as early as possible.
If they are not available on your requested date, you have two options, one is to find another company or two, adjust your schedule earlier or later than your target date.
Needless to say, this is a question you need to ask earlier on, as you do not want to get disappointed and end up wasting your time transacting business with a moving company that is not available on the date you need their service.
-
How much is your service?
You have to make sure that before hiring their service, you completely know and understand their rates. If warranty is not included, best to ask it from the moving company. There are some companies who charge extra for warranty, but needless to say, asking on how they compute for warranty is a good idea.
Before closing a deal, you have to see a quotation in writing of the amount you need to pay when you hire their service to make sure that it won’t go beyond that.
-
What if something happens with my belongings while under your handling?
You also need to know what would they do in the event that any of your belonging was broken because of their mishandling. A warranty is an assurance that they will pay for it if anything happens, but of course, it is still best if you ask them directly, especially, if they are obviously the ones at fault.
Asking questions can help you find the best moving company to hire, so make sure not to hesitate spending time with them and asking questions that you want to be answered and clarified.
