Many people already know the value of getting estimates from a few moving companies before signing a contract. But you may not know about the importance of having a moving company rep visit your home to give you a quote for their services. If you’re going to need interstate movers soon, here’s what you need to know.
It’s the Law
With some exceptions, moving companies that accept interstate customers have to send an estimator to see what you’re moving before giving you a written quote for their services. Because this is a federal law, it applies regardless of your residence.
Avoid Unexpected Costs
Your moving company will arrange for a truck and team of helpers according to the size of your belongings. An on-site estimate ensures that both you and your mover are clear on what exactly is going into the truck so there are no surprises–and added costs–later. Getting a bigger truck at the last minute may not be possible, and if it is, you’ll probably pay extra.
Discuss the Details of Moving High-Value Items
Whether it’s heirloom furniture or priceless art, having a moving company representative there to see exactly what pieces you’re transporting helps you both determine the best way to carry these items and whether there will be added charges for extra levels of protection.
