Debunking Professional Moving Service Myths

January 18, 2018Priority MovingMoving TipsNo Comments

The good news is that today, you have many options when hiring a professional moving service. The bad news is that because this industry has become increasingly more competitive, it is now harder than ever to identify dishonest companies. For your upcoming move, you want and deserve the best service possible. One way to achieve that goal is by looking at common disproved myths with in the moving and storage industry.

  • Myth: All Moving Companies Are the Same – No, not all movers are the same. In fact, there are often significant differences, especially when comparing a reputable company to one with questionable practices. An excellent way to gain insight into what different movers offer is to research the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Angie’s List. Preferably, choose a company that is BBB-certified, which means it delivers results based on high industry standards. As part of your research, you should also check history, reputation, standard and customized services, discounts, prices, and so on. The more information you can get, the better.  
  • Myth: Supplied Boxes Are No Different Than Those Stores Toss Out – Even if you find boxes that appear structurally sound behind retail or grocery stores, there is a vast difference between them when compared to those included with a professional moving service. For one thing, a reputable moving company uses boxes made of a higher-quality material, which increases strength and durability. Secondly, you are unlikely to find boxes that are the ideal size. This may mean packing multiple smaller boxes, in turn leading to less efficient packing of the moving truck. Also, the right movers will use the appropriate internal packing materials, ensuring your possessions have the most protection possible.
  • Myth: Lost, Damaged, or Destroyed Items Have Automatic Insurance Protection – Some movers offer basic liability, which means only a portion of what gets lost, damaged, or destroyed has coverage. When using a professional moving service, make sure the company also provides full replacement value insurance. That way, if there is a problem, you would get reimbursed for the amount of money it would cost to replace your possession today.
  • Myth: Possessions Get Damaged All the Time – In truth, the right moving company utilizes a team of experienced and extensively trained individuals not only to load and unload the truck but also for packing and unpacking. These experts know how to properly wrap and pack each item, even delicate and fragile objects such as glass furniture and antiques.
  • Myth: You Must Pay in Full Before Your Moving Date – An honest moving company that provides a professional moving service will never ask you to pay the full amount upfront. Although you might need to make a small deposit, if movers ask for the entire balance before doing the work, consider it fraud.

By keeping these common moving myths in mind, you are better equipped to select a top rated moving company. For more information on packing supplies, specialized services, and payment terms, contact Priority Moving today.
