If you are moving to the same city, or just a few blocks away, moving can be a very tiring exercise. If you choose to do this hectic task yourself, it might take you weeks or even a month. Once you select your area for relocation, you need to pick the company who will help you move. A good office moving company will make this experience seamless and hassle free for you. But how do you decide if the company you selected in the best one for you?
- Quotation
Yes money matters the most. Make sure to understand your moving requirements and then request for a quote. It is better to discuss the services provided in that cost. Does the moving company charges on hourly basis, or do they charge by packing as per the square footage. Moving requires a lot of work. Will the moving company help you for assembling and reassembling the office furniture in the same price? And will the reinstallation of the equipment be an extra charge.
Collect quotes from different service providers before you make a decision. - Research an authentic service provider
Trust and confidence is one of the major concerns of any employer when moving their office. You just don’t want to lose your equipment. Losing equipment means losing data which can be the biggest loss for any company. Do your proper homework before you choose a moving company?
Read the customers reviews, any testimonials, and companies they have previously worked with. Moving companies are mostly listed in yellow pages, magazines and catalogues making them appear legit and authentic. If you hear about the company breaking things or losing them before moving, better look for other options. - Experience
Work experience in any field matters a lot. If your selected moving company is in the business for around 10 years, this means they are a great service provider, people are liking them and they are
successful in what they are doing. Make sure to read through the history of the moving company.
Just do not focus on their years in service, also look for their experience in moving offices. Packing, assembling, dissembling and transporting would require different knowledge, skill set and tools
when relocating an office. It is not as easy as moving a home. - Customer experience
Service industries work on the level service and quality you get. Moving an office requires a lot of efficiency, communication and planning. You want to shift as soon as possible to resume your work
again. Make sure to select a mover who is very serious about meeting their deadlines.
