But trust me, that’s not the best thing to do while hiring Packers and Movers. Avoid these mistakes while hiring moving companies to save money and experience a smooth relocation.
Mistake 1: Not Talking to multiple Packers and Movers before hiring
Talk to more than one packers and movers before you finalize. You don’t hire movers packers regularly and so you don’t have any idea of the charges. Unless you talk to at least a couple of moving companies, it’s not possible for you to get an idea of the fair cost. Its always a good idea to talk to three or four packers and movers, before finalizing.
Mistake 2: Giving too much priority to the lowest price estimate
While selecting a movers and packers, pricing should be one of the criteria, but not the top priority. Consider short listing moving companies on the basis of their profile, their company profile, their branch network, references of their past customers and then on the basis of price
Mistake 3: Don’t go by what the Movers say, do your own research
You don’t have to believe everything that they say or have mentioned in their brochures or in emails. Do a little bit of research like check Packers review of the packers and movers, ask for a few references of the client they have served recently, verify their feedback.
Mistake 4: Not asking right questions
There are a few questions that you must ask a moving company before selecting or booking them. Like are they offering you door-to-door services? Do they have their own branch network at both the source and destination? Are they offering Insurance? Is there any hidden cost involved that is not mentioned?
Mistake 5: Not negotiating and asking for add-on services
Another advantage of talking to three four moving companies is, you can show them the estimates that you received from the other company. Show them how another moving company is offering a better deal. Ask if they can offer free warehousing for a couple of days if required? They usually offer these services and are willing to compete with fellow movers and packers.
