1. Hiring Reputable Moving Companies
It is very important for anyone planning to relocate and
deciding to use moving companies Chicago to make sure
they hire one that has proven reputation and track record of
providing reliable and professional services. There are
actually some moving scams out there which mostly
involve raising the prices on the day of the move by the
company. You should avoid this at all costs. Though some
moving companies are reputable, it is particularly important
that you speak to a few of them before making any final
decision of hiring them. Also, it is important that you get a
quote from them in a written form. You can perform further
investigations about the different moving companies to
make sure you are working with the right one.
Some organizations like the BBB or Better Business Bureau can be very helpful in finding out if
the mover has many complaints against them. You will also learn how these companies have
addressed these issues. If you are planning for an interstate move, you can use some websites
to look up those movers with poor reputations. This way, you will be able to determine which
Chicago moving companies to hire. Remember that a full and self-service mover is required
by the law to present you with a handbook called, Your Rights and Responsibilities when you
Move. You can read this handbook online but if the moving company refused to give you a
copy, it should be a red flag.
In some states, different departments may cover interstate moves and it would be a good idea
to search laws of the state defining your legal rights and that of the moving company. You
should be aware of what your responsibilities and rights are as a mover. Don’t always assume
that what the mover tells you is right. Some mover might be good but others are there for your
money. If it is your first time to move, always take your time in investigating mover and in
comparing each one of them so you can land on one that really offers the best services.
