Choosing a moving company in Boston is a complicated process, isn't it? One minute you're sure you've found the perfect one, and the next you're knee-deep in doubt. So many companies, so many promises, so many things to sift through - all of which can make even the most balanced people confused. But hold on tight, we'll get through this path together, and maybe it won't be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Here are some tips to help you choose the right Boston mover:
-
Research different companies: Research the company's online presence. Not just the bare ratings, but see if the company runs social networks, if it is mentioned on reputable sites, what awards it has. Compare all this with different companies.
-
Get estimates from multiple companies: What about the estimates? You need them. And not just from one or two places, please. Whether it's a small store or a big name you've seen on billboards, line them up. The goal? Compare, compare, compare - cost, services, everything.
-
Ask about their experience and credentials: Don't miss out on experience and qualifications. Research how long the company has been around, by whom and how it was founded. But most importantly: is the company licensed and insured? You can check the company's BBB profile - to verify the credentials of any mover.
-
Consider their services: Do you need the complete package - packing, moving, storage, unpacking? Or are you looking for something more... minimal? Every company has its own thing. Pick one that fits your list or is flexible. Simple enough.
-
Read the contract carefully: They're long, they're tedious, but they're important. Every word counts, especially those sneaky extras that may not have come up in your initial conversation. Read it once, and then read it again.
-
Don't be afraid to negotiate: Yes, prices may seem high, but you can always try to change that. Remember, movers, especially smaller companies, are always willing to compromise with the customer and lower the price. Negotiate.
