There are lots of websites out there that provide information on how to avoid moving scams and disreputable companies. This sometimes creates a false impression that the vast majority of movers are not safe, dependable and reliable companies to do business with.
In reality, a mover in Chicago can easily be evaluated with just a simple phone call and a bit of time online. By knowing what to look for in a highly professional, experienced moving company you can avoid problems and disreputable companies and end up with a very pleasant and stress-free moving experience.
Ask Friends, Family and Others
One of the best ways to find a mover is to ask friends, family, coworkers or other people in the community. If you work in Chicago, your HR department can often provide a list of recommended movers.
Personal recommendations and referrals from someone you trust will provide you with specific reasons why the individual is making the referral.
Detailed Website
From a short list of recommended moving companies or through an online search, pick the top three to five companies. Take the time to view the websites of these companies.
Check for information on their services, their standing with different organizations such as the BBB and if the company is a PROMOVER. You can also search for their name and the term “reviews” to find comments from actual past customers.
Professional Customer Support
The last step will be to contact any mover that meets with your approval up to this stage in the verification process. Evaluate not only the quote and the information you receive with this first contact, but also consider the level of customer support you are provided.
When moving out of Chicago to another state or even just moving to a new neighborhood in the city, finding the best moving company starts with doing your homework.
