Are you going to be moving soon? Moving is a serious deal. Make the incorrect selection & you may be sorry for a lengthy time. These are some suggestions:
License & Insurance
Check to make sure that you choose a mover that is licenced and insured. Each moving company is required to be licensed & insured - it's required by law. The type of license & insurance does can be different depending on the state the business is located in.
Place of Business
Check to make sure that the moving company you choose has a physical location & that it actually exists. Knowing the mover's actual location is crucial if it's necessary to file a claim. Be careful when dealing with a mover without a physical location.
Sales Personnel
Ask if the mover is a mover or a broker. A broker isn't a mover, they are a third party that links you the shipper with a mover & charges you a fee. The broker does not work for the mover they just sell them the potential client. You have no idea who is going to actually be doing the move.
Insurance

Does the mover offer other coverage options other than just basic coverage?
