How to choose the right residential movers NYC

You should know what types of moving services the commercial movers in New York provide. You should also ask about the extra fees. First of all, you should know what kinds of services you need and if the movers provide these services. If you need packing services you should ask if they do it for free or for an extra cost. If you want to move certain specialty items like pianos or some antiques you should ask them if they have experience with this. Maybe you don’t want to buy moving and packing supplies. In that case, you should check if your movers can provide them. If you need an office move or an international move you should check if the movers perform them.

Do they offer storage and free in-home estimates

Maybe you will need safe and cheap storage so ask your moving company if they can provide it. If they do not offer this service you will have to rent a storage unit separately. Be sure to ask about the fees and price estimates. Good movers should provide a free estimate. Maybe the moving company will offer a quick over the phone estimate or quote. However, a reputable and professional moving company will offer you much more.  They can do this via video or even better an in-home estimate. If the movers walk through your home they will have a clear picture of what they will move. When they see the heavy objects and the flights of stairs and the elevator they will give you a more detailed estimate because they will know exactly what they are dealing with and what the additional charges will be.

Your moving company should be licensed, insured and qualified

There are so many moving companies out there that you might feel overwhelmed when choosing the right one. The most important thing you should check is if they are accredited. First of all your moving company should have a license at the United States Department of Transportation. Ask the movers about their US DOT number or just check it on their website. You should also make sure that the moving company is insured and if they can offer the insurance for your things. If the movers are reliable and trustworthy they will be members of the American Moving and Storage Association (AMSA) or the moving association in their state.

Read online reviews from their previous customers

Don’t forget to check the website of your movers. You should get an idea of the services they provide there. However, you have to check the online reviews of previous users. The good or bad experiences of their previous customers can help you make that final decision. Good and reliable residential movers NYC will have positive and satisfactory reviews. Be sure to check if the company has a long history of doing good business. If the company has been out there for a long time it just means that they are experienced. They could be the right company for you. If they are members of the community and do some volunteer work you should definitely consider hiring them.

Additional things to consider when hiring residential movers NYC

You should avoid companies who have switched their name many times. This could be a fraudulent company or you could be dealing with rogue movers. The company needs to be insured and have all of the licenses.They should have a fixed address and phone number. When you call their office they should answer and say the full name of their business.

Do not accept a ‘guaranteed’ quote

When you are signing a moving company contract you should know what kinds exist out there

• If you sign a binding estimate you will have to pay a guaranteed price for the move. It should include all extra costs. If you do ask for some extra services like unpacking, for example, you will have to pay for it 3o days upon delivery.
• Maybe you will choose a non-binding to exceed estimate in your contract.  In this case, you will not have to pay for any overages for the first estimate. The original estimate is the maximum you will have to pay
• If you choose a non-binding estimate you will not have to pay more than 10% over your original estimate. You will have to pay any overages 30 days upon delivery.

Never pay a large deposit

Movers who are responsible and reputable will not ask you to pay a large deposit before the move. You should usually pay upon delivery. If you pay in advance you can lose control over the course of the move. Always when you do pay like this always pay with credit card to protect yourself from some potential frauds.

Check the discounts and the cancellation policy

You should check if the moving company offers any discounts or promotions because this will help you save money. If you decide to cancel the move for some reason check their cancellation policy. Check if you can afford it. Sometimes the moving company will rent you a moving truck for free. They might also give you a discount on moving and packing supplies. So check if your residential movers NYC offer these benefits that might come in handy.
