The price of professional movers: what the quote includes

Moving is an important step, because it means a change of life, sometimes radical for the individuals in Walloon Brabant or elsewhere: moving as a result of a breakup (or the contrary cohabitation), of a job change and of the geographic zone, or for senior citizen, moving to a more functional apartment or a senior residence. The move requires taking place in the best conditions because of the stress it generates. But also because to entrust personal or precious belongings to strangers is not insignificant.   That’s why your professional mover offers tailor-made services, with many benefits.

How do you choose a professional mover?

You have asked for several quotes for moving? How to choose a professional? Who will accompany you through your change in life? Want to verify the price? Find out what the essential criteria?

Consider these items:

• A CBD certified mover in Belgium: the Belgian Chamber of Movers assesses the quality of services and the professionalism of movers through the following criteria: clear pricing, training, professional skills comprehensive insurance, technical inspection for vehicles, etc
• A precise and detailed quote: what does the advertised price include? The valued services are for example the following: packaging by movers in suitable boxes, disassembly and reassembly of furniture, protection of access and places of passage, etc.
• A prior visit and identify places and anticipate any difficulties in accessing loading places. A move is usually done in refurbished or renovated building.  It is inconceivable to start living there with a hole in the wall caused by the passage of a badly protected piece of furniture. Your mover will take care of it
• Possibility of a upscale move, tailor-made: a professional mover can adapt to all requests, such as refurbishing your new home, redo the beds, replace dishes, and libraries, etc. 
• Assistance before and after your move: a certified mover remains available during your move for any questions or procedures related to the services of the team dedicated to the transport and reassembly to your effects
• Establishment of an inventory with photos of your furniture before handling by the movers
• Tracking of moving trucks: removes the stress of moving? Be warned when there is a slight delay in your team of movers

How do you pay less to move?

Do you want to save on your move? Here are some misleading good ideas:

• Moving out on the weekend: a move that takes place on a weekday is cheaper than during the weekend or a public holiday!
• Packing yourself: if you opt out of recovery boxes to place valuable goods (glassware, objects of art, etc.), your mover may not wish to be responsible for their transport, too risky

Our tips for paying less for your move are as follows:

• Sort before moving: useless to transport things that will be thrown away or given after your move! Sorting in advance, weeding out nonwearable clothes or times you know you don’t want any more, have a yard sale, sell books back to 2^nd hand bookstore, etc. There is no end to the ways to lighten your load and pay for the move in the end
• Get moving boxes, for a cheap move and ecological! Professional boxes limit the risk of deformation and therefore of breakage. In addition, they are perfectly stackable. Your movers know their volumes and can optimize the loading of the truck
• Call on friends to complete the team of movers
