Who it's for

How to compare companies
- Get at least three written estimates, ideally after a video or in-home survey.
- Compare the same things: services included, valuation coverage, dates and the type of estimate.
- Check licensing: the USDOT number for interstate moves, and any state license for in-state moves. See how to check a moving company.
- Be wary of quotes far below the rest. Moving scam red flags.
Questions to ask before hiring
- Can you move over a weekend?
- Who disconnects and reconnects IT equipment?
- Do you provide crates, and for how long?
