Choosing the right commercial moving company
1. Contact several moving companies and set up a time
they can visit your location and provide you with a binding visual estimate
according to all the services you may need. Consult the moving specialist
representative about the following:
- Date and time of the move.
- Insurance for the buildings and valuation for your inventory.
- Boxes and box delivery before the move if necessary (sizes of
boxes and quantity).
- Parking permit if necessary.
- How long the move will take, allowing for the announcement of
a time your employees can arrive to the new location and organize
their personal belonging.
- Packing service if needed.
- Storage service if needed.
- Handling of fragile equipment such as: Computers, servers, printers
and laboratory equipment.
- Labeling the boxes and furniture according to the floor plan
of the new location.
2. When choosing a moving company to relocate your company
it is important that you compare the moving estimates apple
to apple:
- Compare the size of the move. The moving companies
estimate by cubic feet and weight. Some companies will
provide you with a very low rate, but at the same time
they will estimate the volume of the move smaller and
that may cost you more once the real volume is calculated.
Therefore, all the moving companies should provide you
with a detailed list of the entire inventory needed to
be move.
- Services you will be provided under the total cost,
such as: packing labor, packing supplies, box delivery,
valuation for your inventory, parking permits and amount
of movers and trucks needed for your move.
- Make sure that the company you choose has a respected
record in the better business bureau and they provide
you with a binding moving cost, not to be exceeded.
- You can request referrals from businesses the moving
company moved before.
