Award Winning Sacramento Movers, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Offers You Questions To Ask For A High Quality Move

Online, October 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - MOVING QUESTIONS TO ASK FOR A HIGH QUALITY MOVE.

The United States Census Bureau reports the average American will move 12 times in his or her life.

Lets face it moving is stressful! Why add to that stress with an unproven company. Just call around and the differences can be amazing.

If you do your research, such as Yelp! BBB and Angie's List. You will save yourself a major headache and wallet ache. Because what may seem like a lower quote up front, may just end up costing you more in the end.

It is important to fully understand the services the moving company offers and the rate at which those services can be provided, the experts at TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® said. It's also wise to check your state's moving and storage association to learn local regulations that apply to movers in your area.

Consider asking these questions when you call each moving company:

Is your moving company licensed, bonded and insured?

Does your company charge by the piece or by the hour?

Do you have a minimum charge? How do they charge after the minimum is met -- in 15-minute increments or every half hour?

Do you charge extra for larger items such as pianos, 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 pickup location to your final destination?

Do you charge extra for moves in the evenings or on the weekends?

What payment options do you offer? (Many companies require a deposit.)

What kind of training have your movers and drivers completed?

Are items insured during the move? (Even if a mover is bonded and insured, it doesn't mean that your items are covered during the move.)

Do you offer free estimates? (Try to get an on-site estimate done. Be thorough in identifying all the items you need moved. Don't forget the basement and the attic.)

Do you have any suggestions on how to make the move easier?

What kind of cancellation policy do you offer? Do you have a contact number for the day of the move should any challenges arise?
