How To Have A Successful Move

So how do you have a successful move? It all starts with the moving estimate.

Whether you’re seeking a residential or commercial moving company, schedule a complimentary in-house (or in-office) survey for your potential movers. This walk-through will be an opportunity for your movers to view your belongings that need to be moved and the space they will be moving them out of. All estimates you receive should be in writing to help avoid any problems down the line.

You should also obtain at least THREE different estimates from three separate companies.

Know the different types of estimates
When comparing estimates, it’s important to understand the three different types used in the industry.
  • A binding estimate - you pay the stated price, even if your belongings weigh more or less than estimated (however, if you add on more items last minute, your price may go up)
  • A non-binding estimate - pricing is determined based on your in-house estimate and the final cost will be determined on moving day (the final price may be more or less than you were originally quoted)
Compare the weight or volume
Weight is one method used to determine pricing. The weight is usually derived from the cubic footage calculated by the estimator or moving consultant. These calculations are made on a Cube Sheet, or Table of Measurements. While it is not an exact science, the industry standard “density factor” is 7 pounds per cubic foot. For example: an estimated 1,000 cubic feet should convert to about 7,000 pounds of actual weight.

Check the density factor your mover used to determine the weight by reviewing the estimated weight on your estimate, then check the cube sheet or table of measurements to ensure that 7 pounds per cubic foot was used for a conversion factor.
TIP: Be wary whenever any estimate is significantly lower than the others -- reputable movers are usually within the same ballpark.

Extra service fees
Compare how each company charges for extra service fees. Depending on what you need and how simple or complex your move is, you may or may not need extra services. Consider if you have an extra-long move, special items that need extra care, anything that needs to be stored off-site, or storage time if your destination isn’t readily available, and find out how much these services will cost you.
