Identify Rouge Movers
Get References from Friends and Family
First hand moving experiences from your friends and relatives can actually help you find a  
reliable moving company . In Fact, they are one of the best sources to find  a good moving 
company that will not only move your belongings smoothly but will also fulfill all your moving 
needs. In case if one does not find any references, he may simply rely on an online platform like 
Moversfolder to get free local or long distance moving quotes from experienced and licensed 
moving companies. Moversfolder gives not only detailed information about every mover but also 
displays reviews from previous customers.
Request for an On-Site Household Survey (Physical Inspection)
Do not rely on movers who quote a price on a phone call. A mover who issues a quote over a 
phone call should be marked off the list. Always ask for a physical inspection of your belongings 
by the mover. A walk-in home survey is beneficial to both parties. Movers get an idea about the 
weight of the shipment and you get a price to estimate mirroring the final price. During the 
physical inspection, one should also enquire regarding extra services and their costs.  One 
more thing that one should notice is the behavior of moving company representatives during the 
visit. If the representative is open to answer all questions and clarifies all your inquiries, he can 
be considered to be hired for the move.
Accept Signed & Binding Estimates
Once the physical inspection is over make sure to get a binding estimate in writing from the 
mover. One should check that the written document contains the price quoted by the moving 
companies and all the terms mentioned by him and agreed upon by both parties. The binding 
agreement is signed by both parties as proof of an agreement between them. If the mover 
denies giving a binding estimate in writing you need to think twice before hiring him. 
Compare Moving Quotes
After asking for local or long distance  moving quotes  o ne should simply select a moving 
company with the lowest price. Before making the decision, it is important to understand the 
price quote, what are the extra services and extra costs for labor, waiting, packing, etc. The 
mover should be hired only after considering all the major factors and not only the price.
