Moving services are one of the most important things a person needs to look for when planning a relocation.

The Simple Definition

Simply put, moving services refer to people or organizations that you pay to help you when you’re moving. There are various kinds of moving services in the industry today, all aimed to target a specific need when it comes to moving.

Some of the most common are:

  • Full Service Movers

    They will take care of all the aspects of your move from packing to loading, shipping to unloading and unpacking.

  • Auto Transport

    This can refer to either door-to-door or point-to-point delivery of your car.

  • Self-Storage

    Facilities that can house your belongings for a temporary period of time.

  • Truck Rental

    Very important for self-service moves.

  • International Movers

    Assist with out of the country moves.

  • Specialty movers

    This refers to movers that specialize in moving specific things like Piano Movers, Furniture Movers, or Hot Tub Movers

The transaction usually begins with you providing them information about your requirements followed by them giving you a quote or assessment. For best results, the movers should pay an actual visit to your home so they can give you a quote that’s fair and right on the money.

Once you receive a quotation, you have to review it carefully and ensure that you understand all possible charges and notes on the contract. To increase your chances of getting the best deal, you have to get quotes from at least three companies before making your decision.

What to do now?

Moving services will play the biggest role in your relocation. Should you choose to hire professional movers, make sure that they are properly licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Association and the Department of Transportation. It also helps if their accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and if they have a great history with previous clients.
