Only Settle for a Free In-Home Estimate

There are a few full-service movers who will ask you to fill in the weights and maybe the types of stuff you want to move, and with that, they'll have the estimated quote that they will charge you. Never accept this move. A professional moving company will send an expert to your location so that the person can physically access the weight of all the things you intend to move. That is the time you will have the price quotation calculated for you. This is the only sure and most legitimate way to ensure that you are not exploited by being overcharged through rough estimates.

Don’t Settle for the Movers Who Want You To Pay in Cash Only.

A full-service move costs a lot of money, even if it's for a short distance. If the professional movers only want you to pay by cash, this is risky, and you should not settle with them if they cannot accept to take checks. Apart from wanting your goods to be moved, you also would not want to be caught at ransom, so it is best to avoid such kinds of movers.

Do Not Accept Any Deposit Request

When making a full-service move, you are not supposed to pay a deposit, so it is illegal if a moving company asks you to pay one. They are the ones who do the packing, the loading, offloading, and unpacking. The payment is only supposed to be made after they have done and completed all their work.

You Should Be Aware of the Protection Plans That the Moving Company Has

Before making any moves, you are supposed to know if any protection plans have been put in place to cover the stuff they are moving for you so that if something happens, you are sure that all your items are protected.

Check the Packing Laws of Your Community

When taking a full-service move, the movers will come with their trailers where all your things will go. The trailer will then be full during the packing, loading, and offloading at your destination. You should make sure that you have checked the regulations ahead of time in both places, informed the authorities, and advised the movers so that they follow the rules set concerning trailers when parking.

Take Lighter Packing Duties As It Reduces Costs

The lighter packing duties of some small items should be covered by yourself as it will, in the end, help you in bringing down the cost of the move.

Pack Most Delicate Electronics by Yourself

These may include the flat-screen TV. It would be best if you packed this by yourself to avoid any instance of it getting damaged or scratched during the move. This is simply because this electronic is pretty delicate and needs to be handled with caution. These tips will go a long way in helping you make correct decisions when making a full-service move.
