Once you have decided to have your relocation handled by a removal company, then the search for a suitable moving company begins next. But how do you choose the moving company that suits you best? And what should you pay attention to? No doubt you have collected a list of moving companies in your area. But which one should you choose? We would like to help you on your way with the tips below.
Tip 1. Approved moving company or not?
Check whether the moving company is a member of the ‘Organisatie voor Erkende Verhuizers’ (Acknowledged Movers). Of course, you are not obliged to choose such a mover, but it does have some advantages. Meta Top Movers is a acknowledged mover, so we can only recommend you to choose an accredited mover.
Tip 2. Warranty and insurance
is the removal guaranteed to go ahead if the mover unexpectedly goes bankrupt, or will you have to forfeit your money? And which insurances apply? When you choose a mover who is a member of Erkende Verhuizers (Acknowledged Movers), insurance will be taken out for your belongings during the move anyway.
Tip 3. Start inventorying on time
Don’t wait too long to find a suitable moving company. It is best to start as soon as you know your moving date. If you only start inventorying shortly beforehand, you will definitely run out of time to move in a calm manner.
Tip 4. Make an on-site appointment
Every relocation is personal. Therefore, always make a personal appointment on location with the moving company. This way, you will get to know the company and its working methods a little better and you will be able to judge whether this moving company suits you. In addition, this will allow the moving company to make a completely personalised quotation. Does the moving company not want to visit you? Then you can actually question that already….
Tip 5. Review the offer carefully and read the terms and conditions carefully
When you have received a quotation, always check carefully that all cost items are mentioned in it. Does it clearly state what the moving company’s work will be and what work you will do yourself? Make sure you go through and understand the entire quotation. If something is not clear, contact the moving company. Of course, as boring as it may be, you are always wise to read through the terms and conditions as well.
In short: make sure you know clearly what agreements have been made. Then you can never be surprised.
