How to Find Reliable Macon Moving Company

Over 42 million people move in the U.S. every year. That’s an amazing 1 in 4 adults. In their lifetime a person will move more than 7 times. Research has shown that relocation ranks third as the most stressful event in a person’s life. Even though we may be excited about the move, there can be mixed emotions about leaving behind a familiar neighborhood, close friends and fond memories. The last thing we need to worry about is if a Macon moving company will deliver our belongings safely on the other end.

Finding the right Macon moving company can make the whole process a lot easier, but it may not be as easy as it sounds. It’s not just a matter of picking up the phone book and searching under “moving companies”. To begin with there are a lot of different types of moving companies from those that limit their services to local moves to those that will help you relocate across the country or even to another country. So the type of move you are planning and even what you need to move will determine the type of Macon moving company you’ll need to hire.

A Macon moving company can offer you a wide range of services on top of simply moving your furniture and other belongings. They can provide you with packing boxes and other materials, help you with the packing, provide temporary or long term storage if needed, and even unpack everything for you once your belongings arrive at their new home. Of course these services will cost extra but it’s nice to know they’re available if you need them.

Pricing can vary greatly from one Macon moving company to another, providing you with very different estimates for the exact same move. Going with the lowest quote may leave you wondering if your belongings will arrive safely and in the end

Where to Look for Reputable Macon Moving Company

Begin by asking the people you know. Almost everyone has moved at least once in their lifetime, so ask your family, friends or co-workers if they can recommend a good Macon moving company. Talk to the real estate agent that helped with the sale or purchase of your home. A realtor can usually give you some good recommendations based on the experience of their other clients. If you're planning a local move, look for moving vehicles that are working in your city. If you repeatedly see the trucks and vans of a specific Macon moving company, you have to know there’s a reason why they’re so busy.

Do a search on the computer. Most moving companies have a website that will list their services, years in business, geographical areas that they cover, and even work sheets to help you get an idea of what it will cost you. You can find their contact information including an email address incase you have any questions you want to ask before talking with them further. You can also use the internet to do some initial background checking on any Macon moving company.

Getting a Bid from the Macon Moving Company

Once you have your list of moving companies in hand, contact the Better Business Bureau to find out if any of the companies have had any complaints filed against them. Considering the volume of business a Macon moving company handles it’s not unusual for a company to have a few complaints, but the important thing is to find out exactly what the complaints were and if they were taken care of to the customer’s satisfaction.

Before you start talking with any Macon moving company, you should make a list of how many rooms to be moved, if you have any unusually large, bulky or odd shaped items and don’t forget about the garage, and patio furniture. You don’t need to be exact. It’s just to give the Macon moving company an idea of what to expect.

The Macon Moving Company: Making Your Choice

Comparing bids can prove to be confusing. The prices can vary greatly as well as the services offered and the methods used in pricing. One Macon moving company may charge an hourly rate, another may estimate the volume based on the number of rooms you need to move and still others by the estimated weight per load.

It's important that you get all your Macon moving company quotes in writing and to make sure that you completely understand how they are calculated. Make sure you read all the fine print. You need to know what your options are should there be any damages. Some companies won't pay for damages if you packed your belongings yourself unless it can be proved that the damage was a direct cause of their mishandling.

After you’ve talked with every prospective Macon moving company on your list and taken time to consider their quotes, you can make an informed decision as to which Macon moving company you trust to move your belongings. It’s true that moving can be an emotional and stressful time. So the last thing you need to deal with is incompetent movers or damaged possessions. Whether you’re moving down the block or across the country, you need to find a reliable Macon moving company that you know you can trust.
