A few tips when hiring a moving company
Did you know that May is the busiest month for movers? If you are moving, make sure you use a reputable, reliable moving company.
Here are some tips for protecting yourself when moving:
1. Get bids from several companies – if someone is bidding way less than your other quotes, be suspicious.
2. Check out your movers with the CPUC – http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/transportation/movers.htm
3. Make sure your contract has a NOT TO EXCEED clause.
4. Pay by credit card so you can dispute the charges if you have to.
5. Be suspicious of a mover who asks for cash only.
6. Ask for a Certificate of Insurance to make sure their coverage is up to date.
7. If possible, try to move on a weekday when moving companies are less booked and therefore rates are lower.
