Are you planning a move in the near future?
Then it's already almost too late to start planning!
Please note, that I did say "almost" - the thing is, moving is complicated, and it's always best to start planning at least 6 months in advance.
It's okay if you're a little short on time though because there are some super easy tools that can help - and the best part is, they're 100% free, all you need is Movers.com.
They have tons of free guides, tips, and tools to simplify the process, but I want to talk to you about two of them, that I think everyone should know about and use.
If you don't care what I have to say, and you just want access to the free guides, I can't blame you. So, while I think it would be super cool of you to stick around and read my blog, you don't have to. You can go straight to the free guides and free moving company quote tool, just by clicking here.
Still reading? Excellent - let me tell you what to expect, and which parts are the most important.
The thing is, relocating within the USA is fairly common, but it can still be difficult to determine exactly what the moving company is responsible for, and who is responsible in case something goes wrong. That's why Movers.com provides a detailed breakdown of each step of the process and provides suggestions for choosing a reputable, well-rated moving company with fully licensed employees.
Their guide covers several types of moving services, including standard, full-service, partial, and specialty options. Don't worry if you don't know the difference, that's what the guide is for, after all.
For most folks, a standard contract includes loading, driving, and unloading the truck. However, you can also choose to pay for packing and unpacking, or you can reduce your costs by handling certain aspects of the move by yourself.
What if you're not capable of doing part of the job yourself? Well, I'm afraid you may have limited options, but there's always the old "call your friends for help" trick - just remember that if you do that, you're obligated to provide pizza and beer, or the equivalent.
We're getting ahead of ourselves though, why don't we start at the beginning?
The first step suggested in the Movers.com guide involves an assessment by a local moving company to determine the estimated cost of your move. This is based on several factors, such as the total amount of stuff being moved, the distance it needs to be carried, and the location of your new home.
However, and this is where it gets really neat, you also have a different option.
Instead of calling a moving company and having them show up, look around, and provide an estimate - which can be tricky if you're trying to find the best price, why not get free quotes from a bunch of local experts?
On the Movers.com website, you can just fill out one simple form with the details of your move, and the information will be sent to 7 top-rated local professionals, who will each provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the job.
It's not all about price of course - you don't want to just go with the lowest quote, or you'll likely also get the lowest quality. So what should you look for in a moving company?
According to the free guide, you should study the company’s arbitration policy, its procedures for filing disputes, and the tariffs included in the overall cost. It probably wouldn't hurt to check out their reviews on the Movers.com website either.
The choice is yours, of course, but personally, I wouldn't even start planning a move without reading the full, free guide - and getting my 7 free estimates.
But hey, that's easy, just click any of the highlighted text in this blog to go straight to the relevant information, or visit https://www.movers.com/moving-companies/nj-new-jersey/camden/cheap-movers.html to get your free quotes, right now.
