If you’re looking to make a move, you might find the whole process to be stressful and intimidating. The good news is that you can hire movers to make the whole process a lot easier. That said, before pulling the trigger, it’s smart to take some time to ask questions and clear up misconceptions. We’ll take a look at some key concepts below.

1. Can You Provide Boxes?

Some moving companies can provide extra boxes and the like to make packing easier. They may charge a bit extra for the boxes, although some movers might also give you some for free. Either way, it’s smart to make sure things are clear before the movers arrive.

2. Do You Provide Packing Services?

Some movers only handle moving. Some offer value-added services, like helping you pack and unpack. It’s smart to ask what’s available when you first contact any companies. If they don’t offer a service you want, you may need to contact some more companies.

3. Do You Provide Long Distance Moves?

Moving across the country is quite a bit different from moving across town. Some specialize only in local moves. Some specialize in long-distance moves. Then there are moving companies that handle both short and long-distance moves. It’s crucial to make sure that any companies you’re considering provide the services you need. Interestingly enough, according to Forbes, nearly 60% of local movers generally stayed within county lines, while nearly a quarter had left the county but still stayed within their states.

4. What Happens When Something Is Damaged?

Moving companies will often have a process for if and when something gets damaged. While expert movers will minimize risks, there is a chance that some stuff will end up damaged anyway. Often, it’s not even the movers’ fault. Still, it’s smart to cover the process for handling such issues before you start moving.

5. How Far in Advance Do I Need to Book?

Some moving companies are quite busy. You may need to schedule them several weeks in advance. Some companies can provide services on a more rushed schedule, but they may charge extra fees. Often, it’s best to arrange a mover as soon as possible. You may end up with more choices and might save money as well.
