Moving services can either make your moving experience very easy or very stressful. One of the most crucial things to decide on when hiring moving services is the level of the company's involvement. If you want to save cash, you may opt to pack your valuables yourself.  Many people, on other hand, would rather pass on the load moving experts.

If you can afford it, hire a moving company for a full package service. This simply means that the moving company will take charge of the packing, transporting and unloading of your stuff. Often, packing materials are provided by the moving company. Obviously, this service is more expensive, but it can significantly help you free up plenty of time for other important moving tasks.

Tips When Hiring Moving Companies

•    Look for reviews and testimonials online. Or better yet, consult friends and relatives who may have used moving services recently.
•    Find out what is inclusive in the estimate. This keeps you from surprise charges.
•    Ask about insurance and license
•    Get a documentation or proof of the agreement
•    Be honest to get an accurate quote. Disclose everything that you think will affect the estimate.
•    Consider hiring special services when moving pets, plants and other sensitive possessions such as the piano.
