Outstanding Customer Service
As soon as you make contact with your potential moving company, they should go above and beyond in providing exceptional customer service.
In addition to thoroughly answering your questions, they should also have some questions for you about your move. The moving company should have a clear understanding of the scope of your move and your moving needs when providing a quote.
Arrival Details
An excellent professional moving company will let you know well in advance when the crew will arrive at your home. They will also be on time. If there is a delay - they'll let you know right away.
When the movers arrive, they will have a crew supervisor for you to direct your questions and concerns.
Inventory List
The movers will prepare a written inventory of your things. They'll determine each item's condition and assign everything an inventory number.
Then you’ll review and sign off on the assessment making sure nothing is missing or listed incorrectly.
Loading
After the inventory list is complete, your movers will load the moving truck. They'll take special care in loading the truck in a prioritized order.
Make sure that you set aside items that you don’t want to be loaded like your essentials box or other personal and valuable items.
The best movers have proven techniques for loading and protecting your furniture and other belongings.
Every piece not packed in a box should be pad-wrapped and placed from your home to the truck.
The movers will take care to load the truck from floor to ceiling -- like a puzzle to keep things safe and maximize available space.
Delivery
Once the movers arrive at your new home, they will unload the truck and place your belongings in the designated spaces.
As they unload each item, they will have you check off the inventory list to verify the condition of your items upon arrival.
Storage Facilities
Good movers also have excellent storage facilities available that are modern, clean, and secure. If you need to store any of your belongings during the move, your movers should be able to provide storage service for an additional fee.
