Saving time and money
When you request for a moving quote, the best way to save money is, before you make phone calls to any moving company you need to check if you need to throw away any item that is going to be useless on the new apartment/house you need to reduce the items as much as you can.
When you are sure of what exactly it is that you need to move, you can easily count the items or easily make a list of what you have and you can provide the list to the perspective moving companies with good reviews and get the best free moving quote from them.
If you are talking on the phone with a sales person from a moving company, make sure to make them write an email of exactly what she/he is telling you on the phone and do not sign any blank agreements or papers. Always make sure that the price remains the same, and that there are no unspoken changes.
Three Suggestions when you getting a moving quote
- Ask by email if the movers have any fees or additional charges that way if they do they will reply to you and it will be clearly written on the email to avoid any miss understandings, even if your move is a flat or hourly rate.
- Find out if they charge for packing furniture with blankets or how they do the work? Because some moving companies they use shrink wrap instead of blankets and you will be charged for it.
- Check their prices of moving supplies such as boxes, TVs box, tape, shrink wrap, packing paper, mattress cover and so on
What is better flat or hourly rate?
When it comes down to these two options, there are pros and cons about both. When dealing with a flat rate. You are sure of the price that you will pay, however, some companies will over charge you and you will end up over spending.
And if dealing with an hourly rate, there are some occasions where you will be stuck with slow workers trying to get the most out of you. But it goes both ways, you could get really fast workers who will make sure you get what you pay for. Flat rates are also great because there are no last minute changes.
