Figuring out which moving company is right for you can be a tedious process, but with the right amount of research combined with the know-how to ask the right questions, you'll be able to find a company that suits your needs and your budget. Check out some of our guides on moving company policies, common mistakes when hiring a moving company and how to avoid moving scams to better help you with the decision-making process.
Important facts to remember:
- Interstate and long distance movers will generally charge you per pound for your move, not by the hour or moving professional
- Be sure to investigate types of insurance on your goods, since the basic insurance the moving company offers isn't always enough to protect the value of your belongings
- Make sure you have the right packing supplies if your mover doesn't provide them, or if you'd rather purchase them on your own to save money
- When moving to a new state, you'll have plenty of paperwork to transfer. Don't forget about medical records and pet vaccination records too!
