Insurance- When inquiring about a move, you should always ask if the company is insured. Ask them to provide actual proof of insurance and make sure that insurance covers cargo. Most companies that are insured provide a per pound insurance. If the coverage is not to your satisfaction, ask about additional insurance and the cost.

Estimates- When receiving an estimate, make sure that you receive your mover’s right information pamplet. Ask for the TX Dot number. You can go online and check the TX Dot Number to see if the company is active which means they are in good standing with the state

Booking a Move- When booking a move, give as much notice as possible. You might consider holding a garage sale or donating items that you may no longer need or want. This will reduce the time of the move and any confusion about what might stay or go.

Packing- If you do not use a professional moving company to pack your belongings, be sure that you use proper and sufficient packing material. You can purchase those items from Classic Moves or a vendor of your choice. Make sure you have sufficient packing material around your valuables because packing material is inexpensive compared to replacing your fine china or family heirlooms. Also remember by packing yourself, you assume all responsibility for concealed damage.

Moving Day- Moving day can be stressful because of the anxiety of the move. Classic Moves can reduce the stress, but your help and preparation is key. Identification on all items and boxes is essential to eliminate any confusion of which room an item or box might belong in the new home. Be on hand or have a drawn out floor plan so the moving team can place the furniture in the proper spot. This will reduce the time, cost, and the stress of the move.
