2. Don’t book a moving company immediately No matter how perfect you find a moving company, never be in a hurry to book them. Take your time and look out for more moving companies. You could end up with a better packing and moving company with comparatively lower prices.

3. Try hiring Packers and Movers through the directory portal Directory portals know how to verify packing and moving companies. They always verify moving companies and their services before recommending them to their callers. So, you will get double authentication of the moving company if you verify the moving company yourself after getting verified recommendations from a directory portal like Thepackersmovers.com. And this is one of the biggest benefits of booking a moving company through a directory portal.

4. Get a pre-moving survey Ask for Pre-Move Survey from all the options of moving company you have. It is one of the best ways to get to know the moving company and their services and ask them your doubts. Always remember to take the moving quote in writing while getting a pre-moving survey. There are times when moving companies either increase the price of services once you have booked them or add additional hi9dden charges to the bill. A moving quote in the written format will save you from such situations, and you will pay only the amount that the moving company has initially told you. The written quote will serve as proof of the same.

5. Ask questions Whenever you are hiring a professional for their services, never hesitate to ask relevant questions regarding their services. These relevant questions include asking for the availability of insurance and how they provide coverage on the same, warehousing facility if they transport vehicles or not, etc. Ask them everything about their services and also get to know how they initiate the process. Hire them only when their answers satisfy you.

6. Take time to do online research There are multiple ways to know if the moving company is genuine or pretends to be genuine. And one such way is called doing online research. You can find out a lot about a moving company online. Check their presence on social media, see how active they are and on which website. Explore their official website and analyze all the customer reviews and ratings properly. If you find out anything fishy, note it down and continue exploring.

7. Verify their legal documents This is one of the main things that will confirm the moving company’s genuineness to you. Remember to verify documents like GST number, moving license, and whether they have their vehicles or use rented trucks. While doing this check-up, be cautious of similar brand names. If the documents are genuine and the moving company looks confident, then there is no problem at all. But if anything looks fishy, the moving company might be a fraud and an imitation of a genuine company with the same name. So, beware!

8. Visit their official address No matter how small, a genuine moving company will have a proper office to meet its clients and customers. And if you are keen on knowing if you are making the right choice while selecting your service providers, you must visit their office too. And while you are there, look at vehicles, labor, notice boards, etc. This will give you a good insight into their internal processing and you will be able to choose better.

9. Discuss the matter with your family and acquaintance When you are finally done talking to a directory portal, taking all the moving quotes, getting a pre-moving survey, doing thorough research about the moving company, and visiting the moving company’s office, it’s time to share the results with those who can guide you well. With all the information you have collected, talk to your family and see which moving company you find perfect. And then, hire that moving company based on your research and common family agreement.

10. Never Pay the Full Moving Cost in Advance You have to pay some amount of money in advance. So that the moving company can initiate the shifting process and the unavailability of funds won’t be an issue. But always keep most of the amount to yourself and pay advance in a limited portion. And no matter what, never pay the full amount of shifting in advance. Talk about the advance payment and mode of payment with your service provider during the pre-move survey. Don’t hire that moving company if they ask you to pay in full or more than half of the payment in advance.
