Orange County Movers At A Glance

By Dean Hartkins

When you go to choose the moving company of your choice, Orange County movers are not much different from any other moving companies. When going into this decision making, find out everything that you can. Just remember, these people that you have never met before are going to be handling all of the things you own.

Licenses and the insurance policy that they have should be a very big concern. You want to be sure that they are following regulations and are up to date with both. Each state will have different regulations concerning moving companies. You need to make sure that you understand what the regulations are to understand if the business is in compliance.

To feel more confident with the company, check into its past. You can even look up reviews for that particular mover when checking with the Better Business Bureau. What you want to look for is how many unresolved complaints that the company has accumulated. If the bad reviews outweigh the good ones, then you just might want to look elsewhere.

You will also want to go with a reputable company. One way to verify that is making sure the moving company has an actual address for place of business. Check their different forms of advertisement. If one is not stated, then make a call to the company. If they are hesitant about giving out this information, then the company may just be a little too shady.

There are moving scams out there and of course there are those companies that will try to pressure you into a contract. If you do not feel comfortable saying no to them or asking further questions, do you really want these people inside your home? If at anytime you do not like the way things are going, make sure that you are able to contact the manager to get some answers.

You should have your documentation in order before you even go to a moving company. You must be very clear on what days you expect your belongings to be picked up and when you expect them to be dropped off. Also, make sure that the addresses are correct. It may sound stupid but it has happened many times where a mover will show up at the wrong house and try to unload. If you are moving across state lines, make sure you and the moving company both have a backup plan if anything does not go as planned.

Before you sign the contract or, the "Order for Service" make sure that you understand what is expected of you. This means reading the fine print so that you are not surprised with hidden fees. The contract should contain both pickup and date of delivery, a plan B, and the estimated cost of the move. The estimation should also have an agreement on how far over they are able to surpass that estimate. - 32524
