Once they have provided a price for the move that you need, you should then agree and arrange to book the removal for a suitable date. You will have to ensure that you meet all the requirements that they may make during your quote. For example, if you have stated that your items are packed securely and ready to move, this should be factual.
How long does a moving company have to deliver?
Typically, you will arrange a date to suit your personal terms when booking the moving company. The moving company usually should outline the timeframe in which it will take to complete your move.

You can also ask for costings to be provided in writing, which you can then use to see if the paperwork looks official with company headed paper, company VAT numbers and if there are any additional costs to be incurred for any aspect of the move. You can also request that they perform an in-home survey to see how they appear, whether professional or uniformed. Typically, they should leave a professional looking business card with personal contact details which will help confirm the legitimacy of the company.
What to do when a moving company steals your stuff?
If you suspect that the moving company you have used may have stolen some of your possessions, you should initially begin by getting in contact with them and making it known that your item is missing and suspect it has been stolen. It may be the case of simple misunderstanding or an item missed when unloading the vehicle. If the company proceeds to deny that they have your possessions, you can then move on to any of the following. You can contact your state’s Consumer Affairs Division to get assistance in retrieving your items as well as potentially getting illegal or unethical movers removed by the law enforcement. You may also want to contact your local police force as changes in legislation has given local authorities power to mediate and intervene with moving companies, which previously were not available due to being considered a civil matter.

You should also check with your home insurance provider if you have home insurance, as some home insurance providers have inclusions in their policies for home moving.
Few easy steps to pick a moving company?
When deciding on which moving company to use, do not always go for the obvious choice based on the lowest quoted price. There may be a reason for the low quoted prices, either not a legitimate company or they may have many costs incurred that they have not included on your basic quote. It would be more valuable to look at other considerations when moving your personal possessions. It would be more advisable to look at the feedback other companies have received on their service. This confirms you are likely to have an overall positive experience as you will be made aware of any shortfalls the company may have. It is also useful to consider what insurance needs you may need, if you have valuable items you need to use a company with a larger insurance policy to fully cover your items.
What the difference between a local move and a long-distance move?
The difference between a local and a long-distance move can be determined if the move is from one state to another. If the move is within the same state, in most circumstances it can be considered a local move. A move from one state to another state is usually considered a long-distance move. However, this is not always the case. For example, in Texas, a local move is considered a move that is less than 100 miles. Therefore, a move greater than 100 miles in Texas is considered a long-distance move. It is always best to check with the company that you are using when planning your move.
How to choose a long-distance moving company?
When choosing a long-distance mover, it may be more crucial to check the company beforehand than when moving locally. As you may be requiring their services for a longer period as you may be travelling across state, you need to ensure even more so that the company is legitimate, professional, and friendly. You will need to thoroughly check the reputation of the company you may be looking to use. You must request an in-home survey to be completed by long-distance movers, as it is crucial that you get an accurate quotation for the items to be moved to avoid extensive additional fees. In asking for this survey, you can also remove any potential fraudulent companies that do not offer the in-home survey, which should be an immediate red flag for any long-distance mover. Any long-distance mover that is not willing to accurate quote using an on-site inspection should be avoided as there is a potential for them to extort you.
