When hiring any company for a long distance move, price and services are typically the two deciding factors. While price is an easy comparison, carefully reviewing services and the professional reputation of the Raleigh movers are perhaps the two most important factors.
Unfortunately, if price alone is used to compare long distance movers, the services needed or the professionalism and expertise in moving is often lost. This can cause complications before, during and after the move.
Professional Services
One of the reasons a more experienced and established moving company offering long distance moving may have a slightly higher price is the number of basic services offered for the price.
Professional services to benefit the customer, including a single point of contact with the long distance movers and help and support leading up to moving day adds immediate value to using one mover over another.
Wrapping, Padding, and Protection
The best long distance movers use only trained staff. This means everyone from packing and moving crews to drivers and move managers are fully trained. With this level of expertise, all furniture and items in the move are carefully wrapped, padded and loaded onto the truck.
With this focus, there is less risk of damage to valuable items. With extra padding and strategic packing of the truck, there is also much less risk of any breakage during the move, even if the furniture will be in storage before arriving at the destination.
Shorter Delivery Times
Almost all Raleigh homes will not be a full load on a large moving truck. With quality long distance moving companies, the volume of orders means shorter delivery times as loads can be combined easily with routes.
These companies also use technology to allow tracking of the load, keeping customers informed through a secure online site as to when their truck will arrive.
