However, you may find and book a moving expert easily but while the search process continues, few queries may generally develop in your mind. These queries need to be resolved before you finally rely on any moving professional. And today in this post, I am framing a few questions along with their answers that people usually want and should ask while hiring an expert.

1. Do you offer office shifting services?

Many companies often provide household relocation services rather than the official one. Therefore, it is better to start the examination process by asking this question. If the mover says yes we offer office shifting and then proceed with asking the other details.

2. Is there any category of offices prescribed that you move to?

Different companies have different rules thus know if the company you are dealing with offers the office moving services for the nature of the business that you are doing.

3. How much experience do you have in the logistics and transportation industry?

Before jumping to a conclusion or finalizing a moving company it is important to know the years of experience that a company has in the packing and moving business. The greater the experience is, the better the company will be in offering the moving solutions. Therefore, gather the details about their year of establishment and total experience that they possess.

4. Do you have appropriate license and certification documents?

A trusted moving company is ISO certified and IBA approved. These companies possess valid licenses and certifications to prove their authenticity. You can ask them to show the documents, if they deny then you must search for some other option because a genuine moving professional never deny showing its documents to prove the reliability to its customers.

5. How many offices moves you have performed yet?

Knowing the number of moves that have been performed by a company will either boost or lower down your confidence depending upon the points of that particular company. Moving companies keep a track of movements performed by them, not sure about the exact numbers but they will give you an idea of their moves at least. You can judge the company based on the same.

6. How do you charge for an office move?

Moving companies have different ways to charge their customers for a move. Basically, the cost is computed on few major factors which include the size and weight of your goods, the distance between the origin and the destination place, services that have been opted for by you (packing, moving, unpacking, unloading, etc), and the applicable taxes.

7. How do you measure the volume of goods to be moved?

To measure the volume of a consignment to be moved, a service called pre-move survey is performed by the executive of the company that you have booked. A pre-move survey is basically conducted to compute the in-house estimate of the total expenditure that will be incurred throughout the move. A surveyor visits the customer at his residence or office to examine the goods that he wishes to relocate and retains the volume of the consignment based on the same.

8. Can I pack my laptops and other delicate stuff on my own?

Once you have hired a moving professional, you are not required to do anything apart from the formalities that are meant to be completed by you personally. If you are afraid of the safety, you can check the packing material and techniques that the movers and packers will imply while packing the sensitive stuff like laptops, and other electronic appliances. They have certain packing videos that they have especially captured to show their customers and make them understand the packing process followed by them.

9. What provision do they have to secure goods during transit?

Moving companies ensure to protect their customer’s valuable possessions during transit against the unforeseen conditions that might occur. These circumstances involve conditions that are beyond human control such as accidents, natural conflicts, political disasters, etc. To cover up a customer’s consignment security, risk coverage is provided to them. And if by chance something gets damaged, the customer has the authority to file a claim against the same.

10. How many days do they take to settle the claim?

There are no fixed days that a company takes to settle the claims. It sometimes depends upon the nature of the claim too therefore it is better to ask about the estimated time taken to settle a claim from the company you are planning to relocate with.

11. What are the payment policies?

First of all, you have to pay only for the services that you are going to avail of. And those services will be clearly mentioned in your price quotation. In case, the movers ask for some extra amount in the form of hidden charges then it is time to step back because a genuine company never charges anything extra in the end and other than a service that has been mentioned in the price quotation. Also, trusted moving companies never ask for the whole payment to be made in advance. It asks the payment to be made in parts, some amount of money in the beginning, and remaining in the end. Make sure you have confirmed the payment policies before finalizing a moving company.

These are 11 common  questions that are commonly asked by most people especially the ones who are moving for the very first time.
