Here are some questions to help you find a mover that will fit your needs best:

• Do you offer free moving quote? (For homes larger than three bedrooms, request an on-site estimate.  Thoroughly identify all the items you need moved. Don't forget the attic, basement and garage.)
• Is your company licensed, bonded and insured?
• Are my items insured during the move? (Even if a mover is insured, it doesn't mean your items are covered during the move.)
• Do you require a deposit?
• Do you have a minimum charge?
• How do you charge after the minimum is met - in 15 minute increments or every half hour?
• Does your company charge by the piece or by the hour?
• Do you charge extra for larger items such as piano moving, large screen televisions, or any extra flights of stairs to move items on? (This is not unusual.)
• Do you charge for the travel time from your office to my home?
• Do you charge extra for moves in the evenings or on weekends?
• What payment options do you offer?
• Do you have full-time employees or do you use day labor? (Be aware day laborers may not be properly insured.)
• Are your employees trained properly? How are they trained?
• Do you carry Worker's Compensation for your employees?
• What kind of cancellation policy do you have? (You should allowed to cancel or postpone up to few days before your move.)
• Do you have any suggestions to make the move easier? (Movers who care about customer service will do everything possible to make your move a smooth transition.)
  
• Do you have a contact number should any challenges arise moving day?
