Moving companies aren’t created equal, and each one has a unique menu of services you can choose from when you’re planning your move. You should never assume a moving company offers a service you need.
Below are just a few of the services that a moving company might offer:
Loading and unloading
Packing
Custom crating
Furniture assembly/disassembly
Transportation for specialty items like pianos and hot tubs
Storage
Vehicle shipping
Cleaning services
However, for every company that offers one of the services we’ve listed, there is another company that doesn’t. If any of these services are crucial for your move, you should make sure that service is provided by any company you might hire.
Most moving companies that increase prices on moving day do so using hidden fees. These fees are either buried under mountains of legal-speak in your contract, misrepresented, or undisclosed before they show up on your final bill.
It’s also unlikely that you’ll get a straight answer from a customer service representative. If a company is hiding its fees, it probably directs its staff to hide them as well.
Instead, we recommend checking customer reviews to see if a company regularly charges surprise fees.
Of course, you should always take customer reviews with a grain of salt. Most of the time, they aren’t fact-checked, and they might be written by embittered customers who had a bad day.
