You probably know that moving is frustrating, irritating and triggering a significant headache in most people. The truth is, loading and packing all of your
belongings and transferring them to a different location is what makes this process a true pain in the head.
However, that is the only way to move to a new location – so you must bear with it. Now, if there is a best way to make your moving a breeze, it is choosing a
professional team of movers in Minnesota. But how to choose a legit moving company?
1. Check if they are licensed
First and foremost, you need to check if the team of movers you are hiring is licensed within the state of Minnesota. Also, doing business across state lines needs
some licenses and certifications – and the best way to ensure that is the case is to ask and check yourself.
2. Local or national?
While national moving companies are good for interstate moves, a local Minnesota mover can make the job a lot
easier for you. People are always choosing local companies for moving within the city of Minnesota just because they know the town and locations better.
3. Do some detective work
To make sure you are choosing the right moving company for your needs, you sometimes need to put the detective hat and check all the government and
independent sources for information, reviews, licenses and references. You can also check Yelp, Facebook, Google Places and MovingScam (dot) com as a
website that lists all moving scammers out there.
4. Get an estimate and write it down
Getting estimates from different moving companies is something every homeowner does before hiring one. However, not everyone writes them down which is
why you should – if you want to be transparent and remember all the features that a service includes.
Just like that, make sure that those estimates include everything that you want moved inside your home – all of them for a fair price.
5. Be assured that you are insured
Movers are generally liable for your belongings while transporting them. However, you should know that there are different levels of liability or valuation – and
you should understand the level that applies for your move.
That is why you should always make sure to ask for coverage and insurance when moving – and never sign a document that contains language about ‘releasing’
or ‘discharging’ your mover from liability.
Happy moving!
