Things to Consider When Choosing a Moving Company

Moving can be chaotic, but it can also be pretty painless if you take the right approach.

So, as a local moving company that cares about you and your belongings, here are a few things to remember when searching for the best moving company.

Value Protection

Often times, people don't remember to ask about coverage for their belongings if something is broken for example. When you select the basic 60 cents per pound, it may not be impactful if your couch weighs 100 lbs. If your items are valuable, you'll want to opt in to a greater value protection plan.

Additional Charges

Make sure you cover everything when you get your moving quote. You don’t want any surprises. For example, some moving companies will try to slip in additional charges for going up stairs on a local relocation-- Starving Students doesn't. For local moves, if there's a lot of stairs, we're glad to accommodate. After all, that's why you hired movers.

Quotes Over The Phone

Getting a moving quote over the phone is reliable and efficient. Your Starving Students moving consultant will advise you on all the terms of the rate structure and how we can address large or awkward items that you may be moving. Be sure to tell us about pianos, items that won't fit through doors, heavy safes or narrow spiral staircases.

Cheapest Price Isn’t Always the Best

This is pretty self-explanatory. Like any other good or service you buy, you need to find a balance between price and quality.
