Don't fall into the too good to be true mentality. Sometime the first quote is the best one, and it is perfectly valid. Other times you need to get several before you find one that meet your particular needs. Don't be afraid to take that perfect quote when you get it.
I really do recommend that you take full advantage of the moving companies free quotes that are provided free of charge. It is recommended that you don't take the highest or the lowest bid. Sift through the bids that all come in close proximity from one another. If you find that a company tried to hold you to a deal threaten to report that company to the better business bureau. Never divulge any personal information until you are fully aware of all terms of your contract.
Now you need to consider a few things. What you need to understand that just because the price quoted may seem fair but you need to consider what services are you getting with that price quote. In other words, I think to get the best deal, it's more important to understand what you're getting for that low quote rather than just simply taking the lowest offer.
If you do not fully understand what your quote say about services and situations you could be in for some ugly surprises. Your quote should have a statement about what happens if your items are lost, stolen or damaged during the move. It should be very clear as to what you are responsible fro as far a packing and having furniture ready for the move, and what the moving company is responsible for as far as packing, unpacking and putting furniture in your desired locations. You should also fully understand the insurance issue that may come into play with your move.
One of the best services a moving company can offer is the unpacking and putting away of packed and boxed items. These is not usually included in most low end quotes, and would cost you extra, if you could get the service at all. Do not underestimate the personal benefit of having furniture and or boxed and packed items put were you want them to be. Moving is stressful enough, make your life a little easier.
The payment arrangements are also a very important issue to be clear on. It goes without saying that a moving company that asks for full cash payment in advance of your move should raise some red flags. Your contract should clearly state the deposit amounts, and remaining payment arrangements. You can find all of these payment options by investigating on the internet. The time you invest in research today will save you untold dollars down the road
The internet can provide you with all the resources you need to be an educated moving company consumer. The best part is that most of the information you need to make a quality decision can be provided for free and at no obligation from most good moving companies.
