Are you just a little bit worried about
employing some rogue, fly-by-night movers to relocate all
of your earthly belongings half way across the country?
If so, then the following snippets of
advice will prove invaluable as you hunt for a
trustworthy Edmonton moving company that will give you
the peace of mind you’re looking for.
Define what you are looking for
Choose the right kind of moving company.
There are several different kinds, such as
inter-province moving companies, relocation services,
local movers, pack-and-stack and trucking services.
Get referrals
You can ask around your friends, neighbors
and work colleagues for recommendations and warnings
about what moving companies to avoid.
Make a shortlist and each firm on your
list
Once you have made a list of potential
Edmonton moving companies to choose from, call each of
them. You can find out a few things to help you decide,
by asking how long they have been operating, how much
training and experience does their staff have, are they
insured, and do they have the licenses needed for
interstate relocations.
Check that the company you are considering
is legitimate
This means checking their credentials and
making sure they are insured. You can contact state
transportation regulators, or look for the Department of
Transportation or Public Utility Commissions in the
phone book.
Enquire if the Edmonton moving company is
affiliated with any trade organization
If they are a member of a respectable
organization, then this is a pretty sure bet that they
are a reputable firm. A proven association
can often assist in dispute resolution.
Check for complaints against the
company
You can make inquiries with the Better
Business Bureau and see if the company has had many
complaints made against them in the past.
By this stage you should have narrowed down
your shortlist considerably, and you can now move on to
asking for estimates, knowing that whatever company you
choose, you are going to be in a very safe pair of
hands.
