San
Antonio moving tips & advice:
How
To Choose The Right Movers...
Taken
from "Moving Hints: From Packing to Paying" by Arnold
Kling, courtesy of Homefair.com
- The
right time to find a moving company is 5 – 8 weeks before
you move. Here are some guidelines to use when selecting a moving
company:
- Ask
friends and coworkers for moving companies they have had success
with. Check moving companies by calling the Better
Business Bureau.
- Find
out what is included in the quote. Find out what the company
will, and will not move. If you are moving items that require
special handling, make sure that the mover has experience and
the correct equipment to move those things.
- Get
several estimates. The only way to get an accurate estimate
is for the mover to inspect your home and see what needs to
be moved. Ask the mover if the estimate is binding, and if so
for how longs, and find out if there is a cost for the estimate.
- If
one estimate is much lower than the others – find out
why.
- To
minimize costs, dispose of unnecessary or hard-to-move items
before you get an estimate.
- Write
"subject to further inspection for concealed loss or damage"
on the contract when you sign it to protect yourself in case
you find damage when unpacking.
Understand
the types of insurance coverage offered. Be sure
to ask movers to price out all the options so you can make an
informed decision.
- Basic
Liability
– Usually about 60 cents per pound per item, it is often
included at no additional charge, but it does not cover the
full repair or replacement of a damaged article.
- Depreciated
Value
– Also called standard protection. It is additional charge
that insures your shipment based on the weight and value of
your possessions; however, with this type of insurance, the
mover is only responsible for the determined depreciated value
of each item.
- Full
Value
– provides the most comprehensive coverage (replacement
of full repair) but requires a larger additional fee.
- Ask
to see a copy of the mover’s ICC (Interstate Commerce
Commission) Annual Performance Report. Interstate movers
are required to provide information about past performance and
complaint handling procedures. They are also required to provide
you with a copy of an ICC publication about your moving rights
and responsibilities.
- Make
an inventory list and label the contents of all boxes.
- When
the van arrives at your new location, be ready to pay the charges
so the crew can unload your shipment. Carefully check your inventory
list and mark any discrepancies on the driver’s inventory
list before you sign it. Note any damage to the outside of cartons.
- Unpack
any items of high value, such as silver or art, immediately.
- If
you want the movers to unpack for you, be sure to inform them
prior to delivery.
