1. Most full service moving companies will provide you with a Moving quote based on your "List of items", that will also appear on the "Moving estimate" as "provided by customer". The "List of items" is a list of all furniture's, appliances and boxes that has to be moved and will be provided to the movers by you, over the phone or online, if you want your moving quote to be as accurate as possible, you should make sure you provide movers with every single item you have to move, you will also have to estimate a number of boxes, again if you want no surprises when you get the bill for your move, it is highly recommended to over estimate, remember that any item that will not appear on the "List of items" will be charged extra by your movers.

2. Most moving companies will include "Basic packing" on the "Moving estimate" , "Basic packing" means that the movers will protect you furniture's with blankets, all other packing materials and services that will be used during the move process, will usually be charged extra, your moving estimator can include "Full packing services" in your moving services quote, that will usually include all packing materials and services, if you want to save money on your move, you should pack as much as as you can, so the movers will pack less and charge you less.

3. In most cases your "moving estimate" will include "Basic insurance" or "Liability valuation protection", this means that for any lost or damage of your furniture, you will be covered for $0.60 per Lb, per item, for an example, if your TV is lost or crashed, and it weighs about 40 LB'S or less you will get about $24.00 from the moving company, it is highly recommended to get moving insurance quote from an external moving insurance company.

4. Delivery time frame in your "Moving estimate"- make sure you read the "Moving estimate" and also make sure you read the contract before you sign it in the day of the move, most contracts states that the "Delivery time frame" may take up to 60 business days, remember, the contract you sign on the day of the move is the last document you signed with your movers, and it may be different than what the "Moving estimate" states, so it is highly recommended to take your time to read the new contract before you sign it.

5. It is always good to make sure the movers you deal with are certified, licensed and insured, visit Safersys
