“People Often Ask”: Frequently asked questions in preparation for a home move

May is National Moving Month and a time of year when our schedules fill up quickly for the busy moving season!

If you’re planning a move (or ever completed a move before!), you know there can be a lot of questions swirling through your head as you navigate through the experience – especially if it’s your first time.

From selling your home and buying a new one to calling a professional moving company, scheduling a move date, packing up your items, figuring out what belongings you no longer need, shutting off utilities at your old home and starting them at your next, and so on – the moving to-do list can be extensive and overwhelming. Thankfully, we’ve done this long enough we can offer advice on some of the most commonly asked questions people have!

How much does it cost to move?

Without a doubt this is the question we see the most related to home moving, and understandably so. The answer is more complicated than just a simple price, as there are many factors that go into the cost of a move and your final bill. Everything from the amount of time the move takes, to how many movers are required, are factors in the final cost. Working out these details with a TWO MEN AND A TRUCK customer service representative will help you build the most accurate quote. For more information on how much it costs to move, click here!

How do I know I can trust the moving company?

Unfortunately, moving scams are an ugly side of the moving industry that bring down the reputation of quality moving services. Using diligent research, asking questions, making sure the company uses full-time employees, and ensuring there is an open line of communication are all things you can do to avoid falling victim to a moving scam operation.
