How is hiring moving professionals recommended advice by industry experts?
When we plan household relocations, we must calculate the degree of assessment and planning that the move would call for. Initially, no matter how simple you find the moving task to be, you will realize its complexity the moment you start preparing for it. So, do not be hesitant about hiring professional packers but confidently go ahead and find yourself a qualified and genuine moving company that facilitates your move and balances out the hassle. Not only would they streamline the move for you but expertly handle the entire project for your satisfaction.
How do professional moving companies work?
Well, the process of connecting with the top relocation companies must begin beforehand, and when you have ample time in hand, for evaluation and research. Shortlist at least 4-5 moving companies that you feel are reputed, reliable, and have dependable infrastructure and facilities that can help you to comfortably shift your belongings to the distance and location you want. But before you go ahead and finalize them, you should inquire how they are going to help you out with your move and get your concerns sorted before you take a call.
Should I inform the movers beforehand if I need some extra services?
Yes, keeping the professional packers informed about your move-related suggestions and other requests is extremely important. Even if you have declared your preferences to the moving company right at the time of booking, you still can reach out to them if you have more things or amenities that you want the professionals to take care of. For instance, if you feel you can ask for new services from them from their array of services or you can ask for some other comfort from the company if you have not briefed them about the same before.
Can I request the movers for the early shipment of some of my goods?
Why not! Some customers often request early delivery of their goods or some of their items due to their urgency or need. In that case, the request is forwarded to the company who then arrange what is needed to get the shipment of the customer delivered at the earliest. However, this is not always possible and accepted by the moving party due to source constraints or other limitations. So, whatever your concern may be or whatever you wish to request the movers should be discussed beforehand.
You can read about the priority shipment policy that most moving companies provide to their customers for their high-precedence items.
Is there a way I can track my consignment in transit?
Tracking the status of your belongings in transit is not a big hassle. You can easily do that either through the website or via the app (if there is any such option). Otherwise, most of the moving companies have this feature on their website where customers can check the positioning of the moving vehicle (status of their goods) in the transit route. You can even track the status, by connecting with the move coordinator, who easily will fetch you live updates about your goods progressing in the transit route.
How does the insurance (risk coverage) policy work?
Transit journeys are full of risks. So, keeping your belongings covered within a full-range risk coverage policy does help you to evade any kind of damage or loss caused during transit. With an extensive risk coverage plan, you get to keep your belongings safe because even if they face any kind of mutilation during the journey, the relocation company does provide reimbursement against them. But for that, you should first, opt for a protection policy, from the company. If you get the policy from another insurance company or agent, you should connect with them and sort out your damage concerns. Remember, the damage recovery and settlement guidelines may vary with the different companies, so read the underlying terms and conditions carefully and choose one.
Is the pre-move goods survey a part of the move process?
Not every moving company has a pre-move goods evaluation facility in place and those scenarios, the customer has to request the move coordinator or the visiting officer specially to provide them with that. In this, a supervisor visits the premise to survey the goods carefully and quotes a price that the customer is required to pay the company, against the packing and moving services chosen. This pre-move goods survey is an integral part of any move because it tells you about the state of your goods and if moving each of them is worthwhile and also other instructions that you should know about moving them.
What safety measures do professional movers provide for the safety of customers’ goods?
The safety measures and packing techniques that the top moving companies have in place do ensure the quality packing of your belongings and their safety during transit. This safety protocol does make a big difference to the standard of moving. But what is also true is, that there does remain a risk to your goods because they get exposed to a lot of external factors. But with a full-coverage risk policy and packing support from top movers and packers like – double-layer packaging, cushioning, corrugated packing, smart and secure goods carrier, safety belts, fabric sheets, etc. – you do receive adequate protection for your belongings.
