After you have a list of all of your choices, there are a few things to look for to make it easier to choose the best company.
-Look at prices. It is important to compare the prices of all potential companies. You do not want to be spending an arm and a leg so to speak if you do not need to. Also, keep in mind that the most expensive company is not necessarily the best. All it means is that you will spend the most money on them. On the flip side of that, you do not always want to go for the cheapest option either. Generally speaking, there is a reason they are the cheapest. When you are comparing prices, make a list of the companies that you feel have the best prices and then move on to the next step. Another aspect of price to consider is if they charge a flat rate or if they charge by the mile. Some charge a base flat rate, as well as per mile, traveled to the new location. It is vital to calculate, based on each company's fees, what you will end up paying in total.
- Reviews are a great way to get a feel for a company's competence. Always look at reviews on their website as well as on sites that are dedicated to reviews of local businesses. It is also advisable to ask around and see if anyone you know has used any of the available companies and if so what they think of them. One excellent option is to post on your social media sites asking for reviews and/or recommendations for moving companies or furniture removalists. You will usually get a good set of responses to help you in your decision.
- The next thing to consider is what services each company offers. Not every furniture removalist company offers the exact same services. Some help you pack, some only haul large pieces of furniture, and some offer all-inclusive services. Along this same vein, not all furniture removalists will travel long distances. If you are moving very far away from your current residence, be sure that the company that you choose offers long-distance services and not just local pick-ups and drop offers.
Finally, if you decide to hire a furniture removalist and they do not have a good attitude upon arrival, drives badly, or takes no care in the handling of your items, you have every right to fire them and start over. If you are not comfortable right away, it is best to go with a different option.
