These days, it’s possible to learn a lot about a moving company by their website and other neutral websites. Even so, it’s very important to know what questions to ask and what criteria to evaluate before making a choice.
About the Company
When talking to or visiting the websites of moving companies, Forest Park IL homeowners should first try to find out some of the basics about the companies. Knowing how long a company has been in business is a good start, as well as knowing about any affiliations it may have (with van lines, shipping companies, etc.). Customer service awards and accreditations are pluses, too, but often the best test is to ask the company if you can contact past customers for references—past customers will usually give you a sense of how the company delivered its services.
Services Offered
If all that is required for a particular move is a truck, just about any moving company will suffice. If a move has greater requirements, many moving companies Forest Park IL offer a variety of other services. It’s not at all unusual for movers to offer packing and unpacking services, with the added benefit of having the proper packing material and containers to pack and crate anything. Insurance and valuation coverage will be offered by most good companies, and many movers also either have a storage service or be partnered with one.
Some moving companies will also offer move planning, and provide a single point of contact to handle all of the details through every phase of the relocation. Other movers will offer even more extensive services, including helping to find a realtor or mortgage company and helping to stage and declutter a home for sale.
Neutral Sites
When looking to find a moving company, it’s always wise to check the Jackson Moving & Storage website. They offer letter grades of businesses based on complaints and customer satisfaction, and they allow people to read the actual complaints and resolutions. There are also good independent comparison sites, any of which can at least give a little more evidence as to the quality level of a moving company.
