How to Hire The Best Long Distance Moving Services

September 15, 2008 by admin

“I was terrified!”  Tara stood in front of her small Spokane home, arms crossed.  “You hear all these horror stories about long distance moving services, but I must have lucked out!  These guys are great!”

There was more than luck at play in Tara’s move.  Like many contemplating a cross-country move, she decided to use a long distance moving service.  Unlike many, however, she didn’t pick her company based on price alone.  Tara did her research.

“Sure!” she said.  “I must have called twenty long distance moving services.  I had all these questions.  I wanted to know what type of insurance did the company have.  Would our homeowner’s insurance supplement the long distance moving services’ coverage?  Did the long distance moving services have all the required licenses?”  Long distance moving services are regulated by the US DOT, state DOTs, and other authorities.  “I wanted references, lots of references.”

References are often the best way to determine how well a long distance moving service will perform for you.  Bear in mind that long distance moving services, like any business, are most likely to pass along favorable references.  You’ll want to go a step further and search online rating sites and the Better Business Bureau.  If a long distance moving service has a long string of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau, they’re not the long distance moving service you want.

“Finally,” Tara said, “I had each long distance moving service spell out for me exactly what they did, and how much it cost.  I knew what I was getting into and what to expect.”  This step also allowed Tara to save money by doing some tasks herself, and to take steps her long distance moving service recommended.  “I never would have thought of a complete household inventory,” she said, “But now that I’m here, I’m glad I have one.  It’s just one more thing the long distance moving service did to make life easier.”

"Boston Pack and Ship shipped my mother’s cedar “hope” chest to my sister in Flagstaff, Arizona. The chest is 70 years old and a priceless family heirloom. As for Boston Pack and Ship’s handling of the chest, in the words of my sister, the job turned out ‘magnificently’. The delivery was ahead of projected schedule and the chest was packed with great care with exceptional “product safety” initiatives of Styrofoam, plastic, false bottoms cartons within the crate and above the crate; the legs of the chest were taped with great care…….truly product protection at its best!! Both my sister and I would refer Boston Pack and Ship without hesitation as the price, product safety, delivery and service are exceptional."
