Oh, the drudgery of moving, but how exciting it is to leave those old walls in exchange for fresh paint. Leaving old friends behind is sad but having new stores to shop at and a general change of pace can be very exciting. Here comes the task of finding movers. Is it really hard to find experienced Jersey movers in New Jersey? Not really.
The better Jersey companies will have special moving software that helps them keep track of their customers and moves. When you call for a quote, the salesperson should be able to quickly give you an accurate quote and be able to check the schedule for you. If the company does not have software, you could be on hold while they add things up or check the calendar in the next room. In some cases you may want to get extra transponder keys for you automobile before you move.
Truly professional movers will use professional software such as Smartmove or Movingboss to coordinate your move. The software will keep your information handy in a place everyone can access, instead of on the desk of some salesman who is always out to lunch. A mover that has this software won’t put you on hold to check with the dispatcher for availability, and they won’t have to ask if they can call you back after they total your cube sheet. Don’t even consider using a moving company that doesn’t use software!
Just because a moving company claims to be 75 years in the business doesn’t mean they are professional. These 75 year old companies are often the companies who are resilient to change. They are sometimes too set in their ways to think about introducing a computer system. A professional company will be equipped with as much modern technology and information as possible.
You can easily spot a mover that is sloppy and unprepared by the way they handle you during the first phone call. They should not have to put you on hold to check the schedule. They should not act like they are unfamiliar with your address. They defiantly should not have to call you back in order to complete your quote! A competent New Jersey Mover will know what they are doing and not waste your time.
Try to prepare for your move as much as possible so that you have as few problems as possible. Think about everything. If you have a serving tray wedged in a crevice, remove it beforehand so it is not forgotten. Think about where the movers can park the truck when they come. If street parking is the only option, you might want to park your car outside the night before in order to save a prime spot. The movers will appreciate the shorter walk and you will appreciate a faster move.
Always remember to make sure you confirm your move with your movers. Usually, they will call you a day or two before the move. Be sure to answer your phone or call them back if you missed the call. If you do not hear from them, call the company yourself. Most movers will not dispatch a crew to a move that has not been confirmed! So before you move, remember. Prepare and choose experienced movers.
