The best way to ensure that all of your belongings are safe during a move is to use external insurance in addition to that offered by your mover. However, if you wish to opt for a less expensive method, it is possible to guarantee the safety of your belongings by carefully packing your fragile objects and marking them as such, without forgetting to create a detailed inventory of all your belongings, take photos before and after the move and to supervise the unloading.

Obtaining a removal quote is important as it helps to provide a cost estimate of the move, which helps you plan your budget and make informed decisions. It also provides a clear breakdown of the services included in the move. Obtaining multiple removal quotes allows you to compare services and costs, helping you choose the best fit for your needs and budget.

All questions are important when it comes to choosing the best moving company. However, a crucial question to ask would be: “Are you insured for any damages during the move?” This question is important because it lets you know if the company is prepared to cover the costs in the event of loss or damage to your belongings during the move. It’s important to make sure your move is safe and stress-free, and insurance is a crucial way to do that. Want to know more questions on what to ask the mover? Read our dedicated article here.

It is important to inform certain authorities immediately after your move. The first step is to change your information with social security and taxes.

There are several ways to manage waste during a move, the first of which is to sort your items and discard those no longer needed before the move. This will reduce the amount of waste to be transported. You can also choose to donate, recycle or drop them off at approved waste disposal sites (recycling centres). It is also useful to find out about local waste management rules to avoid committing violations.

With these added services you usually incur additional costs on top of the rates charged by the movers. Such services include storage, cleaning, packing, piano removals, and dismantling/assembly.

Depending on the number of things you plan on moving, you may want to consider a pre-move survey as a service add-on. During a pre-move survey, movers come to your house to go over the logistics of the move and determine an accurate cost for your move. A pre-move survey will cover things like the amount of space your belongings will occupy in the vehicle, any access issues, such as elevators and parking permits, and whether you need additional assistance with specialty items. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions on how your items will be transported and how the moving crew will protect your belongings.
