Moving is a big life change, and for many families, it’s much easier to handle with the help of a moving company. Asking the right questions before you make a final hiring decision will help ensure the process goes smoothly.

Top 3 Questions to Ask a Moving Company

What moving services do you provide?

Local moves are usually straightforward for Hawaii residents, but the process gets more complicated with inter-island or mainland relocations. That’s why you should choose a moving company with extensive experience in the type of long-distance move you have planned. They’ll help you figure out the best way to pack and ship your belongings.

What is included in your estimate?

Be aware that a non-binding estimate may change based on the weight of your items. Ask about any additional fees for liability insurance or extra services like furniture disassembly or providing packing materials.

What is your timeline like for the move?

Ideally, your belongings will arrive at your new home at the same time as you. As part of your estimate, get a timeline for how long it will take to transport everything. Get specific information for arrival time, the amount of time needed to load the truck, and delivery time so you can plan accordingly.

Also, find out how to contact the moving company for updates about your belongings so everyone will be in the loop if any issues pop up.
