The process of moving, whether it is residential or commercial, can be overwhelming. With the help of a professional moving company, however, you can save time, stress, and the risk of damaged goods. Before hiring a team, you should ask a few questions to ensure their quality and reliability.

What to Ask a Moving Company Before a Relocation

How Long Have You Been in Business?

One of the most telling things about a company is the number of years they have been in operation. Unreliable staffs go out of business quickly, so you can trust that a moving company that has been in business for a long time is helpful and efficient.

Can I See Your References? 

Always check a company’s licenses and accreditation. Opt for someone who is well recognized by the Better Business Bureau®, is certified, or has won past awards. You may also want to look for reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Do this by going online and checking social media pages. Or, ask friends and family members for their recommendations. A recommendation from someone you trust is likely to lead to a great partnership.

Do You Offer Inter-Island and Mainland Moving?

While living in Hawaii is wonderful, the state’s geography challenges moving. Whether you are heading to a neighboring island or heading to a continent, ask potential moving companies if they facilitate inter-island, mainland, and international moves. 

What Storage Solutions Do You Offer? 

Utilizing a storage unit can be beneficial during a move. Instead of transferring all your belongings in a single day, you can begin hauling over lesser-used pieces to a nearby storage space weeks or even months beforehand. Instead of renting a moving company and storage unit separately, look for a business that offers both.
