Relocating? Five Questions to Ask Your Mover

Moving to a new homeBy Julie DeLong, Oil Capitol Relocation 

Transferring to a different area is usually exciting, but it might also be particularly hectic. Asking family and friends for assistance is not frequently a choice and accomplishing everything yourself is extremely hard. Hiring a professional moving company in Tulsa and Oklahoma City may make the relocation less difficult for you if you use the right mover. You don't want to get taken advantage of, you want a fair price, and you also would like to make certain that your belongings are going to be safe and that they will arrive on time. You've done your research, collected estimates, and made your decision on which moving company to select. The following are some things to ask your professional mover in Tulsa and Oklahoma City before moving day arrives.
 

Who is my main contact point during my move?

You need to make certain you have the contact information for your customer service coordinator in order to check in and let them know if there are any modifications on your side. It is also wise to get the driver's contact number, if you happen to need to contact them directly with regards to loading or delivery specifics. Finally, be certain and ask for an afterhours contact in case something unexpected happens after 5pm or over the weekend and you must talk to someone without delay.

What are the extra expenses outside the written quote?

Most moving companies will provide you with an itemized written quote of the charges you will incur. Make sure you check out this document completely and determine what is included and what is not. Such as, various movers will not include empty carton pickup within their pricing, which could bring about additional costs. If there is something on the moving estimate that you do not fully grasp, ask your relocation consultant or customer service coordinator for clarification.

When should I expect my items to be delivered?

The last thing you want to do is wait for a long time for your things to reach your new home. Your moving company should be able to give you a good indication of when your items will arrive. Usually a delivery window is available until your belongings are loaded and then, the driver should be able to give you a more exact delivery date. You will also want to find out how they will manage details if they're going to be late because of unanticipated circumstances.

Will there be anything that can't be shipped with your moving company?

Generally, relocating your residence means moving your household furniture, personal belongings, clothing, along with other stuff for the house. These should not be an issue. However, there are a few items, including flammable or explosive items, which cannot go on the moving truck. And there are other things that it may well be advisable to self-transport, such as cash, jewelry, collectibles, art, along with other valuable pieces.

What protections do you have in place due to COVID-19?

You must do everything that you can to safeguard your family's health and well-being. The last thing you are looking for is a lax team interacting with all your family members and belongings. Be sure that your mover and workers are following adequate protocols, wearing face masks, washing hands, as well as social distancing.
