1. Getting Estimate of Your Relocation Costs
In obtaining the price estimate of your move, reputable
Chicago movers would want to visit your home so
that they may be able to provide you an accurate
quote. It is ideal to schedule at least two visits. Be
careful of estimates given over the internet or phone.
How you describe your household items and how
movers view them can be different, resulting to
changes in the price. In addition, when moving to
another state, you would discover that the charge will
be based on the weight of the load transported and the
starting point to the destination.
It would even be better to schedule a face to face meeting with them because this will make
things clear and ensure a more accurate pricing. During the in-house estimate, make sure to
show the representative of the movers Chicago all items you want to be moved. You can easily
overlook those items in your basement or that major furniture piece you sent for repairs. Doing
so can result to added charges on the day of the move. The representative should also ask you
questions allowing them to name the price of the job in a more accurate manner and prepare
efficiently for the relocation.
Feel free to ask them any questions to assure your confidence in them. You might want to
inquire on the valuation options. Valuation will provide protection for damage or lost
possessions. The option that you select will determine the basis on which any claim is adjusted
as well as the mover’s maximum liability. Their liability for damage or loss is based on the tariff
of the mover and federal regulations and laws. It also has exclusions and limitations. Valuation
is often mistaken by people as insurance when it is actually not. Beware of quotes that are
significantly lower than the other movers. That can be a sign that the mover is a scam.
