You cannot find a suitable moving company based on the lowest price alone. What is crucial is a clear range of services, understandable conditions and communication in which open questions are clarified before the move.
1. Send the same information to all companies
Comparable quotes are only created if all suppliers receive the same key data: inventory, both addresses, floors, elevator, transport routes, appointments and additional desired services.
2. Check the completeness of the quote
- Price form: package or effort
- Personnel and vehicle
- Packing, disassembly and assembly
- Furniture lift or special transport, if necessary
- Travel, parking costs and possible supplements
- Regulations for additional work
A unique number without a service description is difficult to find compared.
3. Fixed price or hourly rate?
Both models can make sense. A package only provides good planning if the order is fully described. An hourly rate may be appropriate for small or difficult to predict orders, but should clearly indicate staffing, minimum duration and any surcharges.
4. Categorize reviews and references
Read several current reviews and pay attention to recurring patterns in timeliness, communication, damages, and additional requests. A perfect number of stars alone does not constitute proof of quality.
5. Clarify insurance and liability
Find out the insurance coverage relevant to your order, possible exclusions and deductibles. If possible, transport particularly sensitive valuables such as documents, jewelry or cash yourself.
6. Inspections for Complex Moves
For larger inventory, close access or special transportation, an on-site or video inspection may be helpful. However, this is not a mandatory quality characteristic for every small order.
7. Request written confirmation
The date, price, scope of services, additional costs and special agreements must be recorded in writing. This reduces misunderstandings on moving day.
Warning signals
- unclear or constantly changing price information
- no quote written
- strong pressure for immediate approval
- additional costs are not explained
- the company is difficult to contact or answer specific questions no
- The scope of services remains vague despite the request
