Movers in Austin
​

Before you start to look for movers in Austin, there are a number of things that you need to keep in mind. The first thing is to beware of a low estimate because only a disreputable company will give you a deliberately low estimate. On the day that you are planning to move, this company will walk around your house, tell you about the need to pack some of your things and charge you exorbitantly. Or they might tell you about something else that needs to be done to justify another ridiculous and exorbitant fee. The best way to avoid this experience is to make sure that every detail is communicated upfront about every piece of your baggage and if possible, ask the moving company to come to your house to provide an estimate. They may want to do the walk through over the phone but this is a surefire recipe for complete disaster. If you own furniture which needs to be disassembled and reassembled, they should definitely form part of a written estimate and the moving contractor should be clearly told about his responsibility for bringing the right tools. Remember to scrutinise your final bill carefully to see the there are no unnecessary and unusual charges.
 
Probably the greatest problem is to hook up with an unlicensed mover who lacks liability insurance as well as workmen's compensation. If one of his people get injured while on the job at your house, it might cost you a good deal of money. It is also useful to schedule your move wisely if you can because late May through August is can with people looking to move so it is not a good time and the best time is probably around Christmas. You should also look at speciality movers because any mover can move a piano or a large piece of furniture but if you have high quality art which should be in a museum, you should call in the specialists. You should also be quickly with movers you do not trust and you have a bad feeling about them, just remember a few things. This is a hard business involving physical labour and the crew may not be particularly sophisticated in looks or behaviour. If things seem to be getting out of control, get hold of a manager at the moving company immediately and do this before any of your stuff is loaded on the truck..
 
If you don't like the way the movers are handling your things, be forthright about your feelings and make it clear that if you are nervous about the way they are handling your stuff. You should warn your estimator that you are not happy with the way
 
things are going and that you might claim damages if there is no improvement. The supervisor will come out immediately because no reputable moving company wants a dissatisfied customer. You should remember that the contents of boxes which you pack on your own are not covered against damage or loss so make sure that you pack them as well as you can. For valuables like jewellery or small electronic items, these are best moved on your own. You should watch the clock but don't overdo it because many people have unrealistic expectations of the time required for moving.
