You are moving to a new home in Las Vegas, Nevada or some other location, and this time you will not be doing the packing, loading, and transporting on your own or with the help of friends. Instead you will be using las vegas movers or other professionals. You might think hiring the cheapest is a great idea but not so. The same goes for simply hiring an expensive company. Doing some research in addition to planning can save you money, time, and even save you from scams.
When asking people you know for companies they recommend you hire, do not forget to ask a realtor. They will often have information on many local professionals and provide valuable insight. After that you want to check the names with the American Moving and Storage Association and the Better Business Bureau to learn if there are complaints and how they were resolved.
When you have a list of three companies have them send an estimator out to your home. You should never pay for this service. Walk with the estimator through out your home. Point out everything. If you live in a warm climate such as Las Vegas, Nevada, and have lots of outdoor furniture, be certain they see all of it.
This is also the time to ask if they are moving you or if they will be contracting the job out. Find out how long they have been in business, and get their full name and any others they do business under. You also want their address, phone numbers, website and e-mail addresses. Get the Motor Carrier and U. S. Department of Transportation license numbers they operate with. If you are moving out of state, they should also give you a copy of 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move'.
Check over the estimates from all the companies. Do not automatically choose the lowest one, especially if it is much lower. That can mean trouble. Instead, find the ones close in amount and negotiate to get a lower and better rate.
If they are to pack everything they will literally pack everything. That means if you have unwanted items or papers laying around, they will pack it. Be sure you remove any garbage in bins and other items you do not want in your new home. There are also some things you should pack yourself. These are important documents, photographs, cash, jewelry, bank papers, prescription medication.
It is also important to be in your home as they pack items. This allows you to mark boxes with items you will need to open first before they are loaded. Also, mark which room each box goes into. In addition, have an overnight bag with everything you may need for at least two days. Also have quick access to a radio, your pc, and batteries.
You are excited about the new home and you are confident. You did your research, got a great price, you checked references and licenses and you know who and how to get in touch with in case there are any issues. The boxes are all clearly marked and waiting for you in the proper room, so unpack and enjoy.
