RULE #1: Ask a lot of questions
No question is stupid. Ask it. In fact, ask questions throughout the process. The bottom line is that you need to be comfortable with all the answers you receive. Here are some examples to keep your wheels turning:
- What kind of insurance does your company provide to protect my home, family, and belongings?
- How long has your company been in business? Note: the longer, the more time they’ve had to prove themselves within your community.
- Do you hire day labor/temps or do your professionals work for you directly?
- What kind of dispute settlement program is offered, in the event there is an accident or issue?
- What are the various costs associated with different services (packing, lifting, special items, distance, etc.)?
- What type of estimate and agreement will you provide prior to payment in full?
RULE #2: Protect yourself and your home
This is a vastly encompassing rule. Think of this as a filter from which you need to operate during the entire process. Protecting yourself looks like:
- Receiving an in-home estimate.
- Confirming the movers will bring mats or plastic to protect your floors from tracked dirt while they load and unload.
- Confirming insurance for your belongings and agreeing to the terms.
- Setting appropriate times for you or a family member to be present while the movers are in your home.
- Taking inventory of your belongings which includes pictures of expensive or invaluable property.
- Discussing insurance with your own provider to cover items which may not be included in the moving company’s insurance.
Pretty simple, right? Follow these 2 Rules from our professionals here at ABS Movers & Storage and you’ll find you’ve never had a more successful move! Give our team a call when it’s time to start packing—we’d love to be your trusted go-to movers in Caledon, ON.
