How to recognize a safe move from an approximate one? The question often comes too late for those who face this operation. The doubts begin when the staff shows up at the front door and end when the damage has already been done. Unfortunately there are no magic formulas to be on the safe side because unexpected events are the order of the day, however there are some simple common sense precautions thanks to which we can understand in advance whether the company we have contacted is able to offer a service up to the standards expectations or not. In this article we want to share with our audience of readers and loyal customers what we believe to be the 5 useful factors for recognizing a safe move. Let’s start with experience!
1) HOW MANY YEARS HAS THE MOVING COMPANY BEEN OPERATING?
A move is safe when it is managed by sector experts and not by improvised people. The first thing to do is to verify that the company you are addressing has the requisites to operate: a sufficient number of years of seniority, but above all a series of certificates such as enrollment in the Register of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure or as membership of the Professional Transporters Association. We at Caturano have been active since 1925, take a look at our history.
2) WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY (FEEDBACK AND REVIEWS)
The best way to enjoy a safe move? Easy: find out first about the quality of the services offered by the company. Nowadays, there is no shortage of possibilities for having direct and immediate feedback on the reputation of a moving company: from Facebook to the Google profile, there are plenty of channels in which to read customer reviews and feedback. On the dedicated page of our website you will find a long list of real opinions of customers from all over Canada – private and otherwise – with whom we have had the pleasure of collaborating.
3) INSURANCE (THE RIGHT AND MOST SAFE)
Moving insurance isn’t all the same. The rule is to limit yourself to the carrier policy, which however provides for coverage only for damage caused during the transport of the furniture (damage caused as a result by the driver). In this way our customers will have the certainty of a safe move even in the event of accidents, thefts and other unpleasant eventualities.
4) CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT CONDITIONS
The conditions of a move must be clear and transparent right away. Pay attention to this detail because surprises, in the context of a move, are certainly not lacking: as long as all goes well it’s one thing, but when something unexpected happens, you need to check who is to blame and how to get compensation. We also choose the company on the basis of its ability to communicate the conditions of the service, in the wake of what we also expose in the FAQ section of the website.
5) FREE ESTIMATES WITHOUT COMMITMENT
Another intelligent system for recognizing a safe move is to ask for various estimates in time, evaluating the right one not so much according to the lowest price, but the services included and what has been listed so far (insurance, conditions, timing, etc.). Asking for a free, no-obligation quote should be a potential customer’s right and a moving company’s duty. If you don’t know how to get around, we strongly advise you to start here!
