Choosing a moving and storage firm in Santa Clarita doesn’t have to be a stressful experience. Here are questions you’ll want to ask to help you pick a good one:
Do you have a registration number?
A reputable moving company will have no trouble providing you with a registration number, says The Spruce. The number is issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and is often referred to as the USDOT number. However, if the moving company only travels within one state, then a registration number isn’t needed.
Can I ask for a list of references?
A moving and storage firm in Santa Clarita that’s proud of the work they do and that has a solid reputation in the field will can easily provide a list of references. Call up those numbers. Talk to past or current clients and ask them about their experience working with the storage and moving company. What kind of problems did they encounter? Are there late deliveries? Were there extra charges they didn’t know about and had to pay for? Find out.
What do you need?
Make sure to provide your movers with specific directions to your new home. This can help them get there so much faster. However, with Google maps and Waze, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
How much do you charge?
Don’t go for the cheapest options around. These companies rarely deliver—if at all—and could be inept and dodgy firms only out to scam you. You could end up with your missing, damaged or stolen belongings if you are’t careful about the company you choose.
Will extra charges apply?
