​Part 2 of Moving Blog all about the moving industry
 
 
A lot of moving companies have fake web-sites, not showing real people doing the real job of moving. You can visit www.aaffordablemovers.com web site and go to photo gallery tab and see how real movers load and unload trucks.

• If a company doesn’t have a web – site something is usually wrong with that company.
• If the company is to cheap with there pricing structure, not competitive with the rest of the companies, that indicates a red light (which means they don’t know what they are doing).

Do not use “on-line” moving companies,

• they will take your deposit, 98% of the time,
• and will not show-up for the job.
• A lot of those online companies are just moving scheme/scammers. Aafforable-movers know that for a fact.

Make sure you hire a moving company that knows

• How to load a truck, to utilize all the space.

 

• Make sure that the movers knows how to cube the space”, without making 3 or 4 trips.
• {DO NOT DOUBLE PAY FOR COLLEGE KIDS MOVERS IT'S A SCAM YOU HAVE TO RENT THE TRUCK THEN PAY FOR INEXPERIENCED MOVERS GO WITH THE PRO WHO HAVE THE TRUCKS AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
• ALSO REAL MUSCLE MEN
• AAFFORDABLE MOVERS 
• THE RIGHT TOOLS THE RIGHT TRUCKS THE RIGHT MOVERS
• NOT A FLY BY NIGHT COMPANY ON THE INTERNET THAT HIRE ANYONE
• ALSO BEWARE OF CRAIGSLIST MOVERS MOST STRAIGHT OUT OF PRISON WHO DO NOT KNOW A THING ABOUT THE MOVING BUSINESS WE READ ON A CL POST WHEN THE CL MOVERS FINISH THE JOB THE CLIENT WENT TO THE ATM THE CL MOVERS WAS IN HER HOUSE STEALING HER TV AND OTHER VALUABLE ITEMS SHE CALLED
• 911 

 

• If you can see the front of the truck in the first load, they are not loading the truck right.

 
Mover must present pads, dolly’s, shrink-wrap and straps.

• A good mover will pad your furniture during loading.
• You must be honest with your movers, by telling them everything that has to be move, upon arrival of the movers.
• You can call the moving company for a free estimate and they tell you everything that’s needed.
• Most important, if you have a specific budget, you must inform the movers.

Most companies pay for their clients move.

• It will be wise to inform the movers of how much allowance the company is paying for the move.

Never use movers off “Craig-List” unless they are licensed and insured,

• and have them bring out a legitimate contract
• with there paperwork prior to hiring them.
• A lot of movers off “Craig-List” have been in prison for theft/and or/sexual crimes.
• They will ask the client to rent the truck, there for they have no responsibility or liability to the client. Unless they fall or hurt their self, then you become liable for injuries.
• Ask them to bring out a legit contract and read it over to cover yourself and your items.

Make sure the movers ask you to check the truck upon completion of the job.

• All good movers should have floor runners to keep the carpet clean.
• Some companies bid so low for the moving job they don’t show up for the move itself.
• Again, ask for a free estimate for the move. Most movers don’t have experience in properly moving furniture.

A lot of people get into the moving business, thinking that it is quick easy money, have not experience, cannot load a truck professional way. Some movers even show up with pick up trucks and trailers. Most customers call a company trying to acquire the cheapest rate possible. They then come to find out that cheaper is not always better. You get what you pay for. When customers call a mover on the phone for an estimate, 9 times out of 10 they try to get the cheapest price. Then find out when the mover show up they are inexperienced in loading their furniture. Having to make 2 or 3 trips or more to complete the job. Taking smoking breaks on customers time. Some of them even smile like alcohol. The client should ask the company to come and give them a free estimate and do the company have a website showing their work. Also reviews. The clients should ask the company do they have the proper moving materials to protect their furniture. Also are they experience in moving  Pianos and gun safes, etc.

A professional moving company will allow you to:

• leave your clothes in their draws,

• take no smoking breaks,
• be kind and courteous,
• point out all damages to the furniture prior to moving it,
