Hostage Moves Are A Thing
Many online reviews show that hiring the cheapest long distance movers can result in dealing with criminals. We're talking about movers raising the bill AFTER loading the furniture on the moving truck.
Sometimes, you may even receive a phone call from your "cheap movers" demanding thousands more while your items are in transit.
Affordable Long Distance Move, Too Good To Be True?
There are cheaper movers for long distance moves, but tread lightly... Sometimes, hiring the cheapest long distance moving company is what NOT to do when hiring movers.
Spot the red flags before you hire a long distance moving company:
Volume
Does the estimated cubic footage or weight seem reasonably accurate based on the size of your furniture? Shady long distance movers lowball your estimate to trick you and then charge you much more on move day.
Reputation
Reliable long distance movers will be listed on several platforms. If a moving company is not listed on the BBB, and other review sites, run far away. This is an indication that the company is hiding its business information.
Flat Rate or Estimate?
Be cautious when hiring cheap long distance movers without a flat rate in the contract. If the moving estimate is not estimated correctly, it can increase to $2,000 or more.
Contract
A contract protects the customer and the business. To avoid disputes down the line, make sure the wording aligns with what you're looking for.
Years in Business
American National Movers has been in business for seven years and offers affordable long distance moving services. Some of the cheapest moving companies have not been operational for more than a year, so be careful!
What Do Moving Services Include?
American National Movers is one of the most affordable long distance movers, yet some people think we're expensive. We try to explain to them that if they find a lower price, they won't be satisfied with the level of service.
We might lower our costs to earn your business and ensure our moving services align with your budget. Depending on the distance of your long move, this might result in slower delivery times and you packing your boxes.
Understanding Your Delivery Window
You may want to avoid choosing the cheapest option for long distance moves. Many times the long distance mover with the lowest price could take up to 21 days for your belongings to arrive.
Do You Want Packing Services?
Our basic moving package includes packing your furniture, loading, unloading, disassembly, and reassembly. However, if you require our long distance movers to pack your linens and fragile items, there will be additional costs.
Customer Service Matters
Some long distance moving companies might cost more because they have a larger customer service team or better movers. When hiring a mover, peace of mind is worth more than saving money. However, American National Movers offers professional movers at a lower price.
Mover Vs. Broker
There are moving brokers and companies that provide long distance moving services. Carriers are the actual movers, and brokers arrange to transport household goods, such as move coordinators.
