What Are The Responsibilities Of A Moving Company?

There are many relocation companies who would offer you a variety of services. Not all relocation companies can extend those services with efficiency and expertise. When you are looking to hire a professional removals service, there are many things they would do for you to make the move easier. But what exactly are the responsibilities of a moving company?

1. Give you an estimate of the costs:

The very first responsibility of a good moving company is to give you an estimate about the services you have opted for, expressly and in a written format.

2. Consult with you to choose a moving date:

Once you agree on the estimate, a moving company will consult with you to pick a suitable date in the future to begin the process of relocation.

3. Inventory:

An efficient inventory list of everything that has been packed and ready to transport to your new home or office will be prepared by the moving company.

4. Paperwork:

If you are moving out of the country, a lot of documents need to be put in place, including the ones needed for customs clearance. The moving company will inform you about all the paperwork required and make sure the necessary permits are obtained on time.

5. Insurance:

It is the duty of a moving company to provide you with insurance about your movable assets that are being transported by the company.

6. Policy on loss and damages:

The moving company will also inform you about their policy in case a loss or damage to your goods occurs while in transit or otherwise, in a written format. They will also inform you about their policy on the settlement of disputes.

7. Pack and load:

Once all the paperwork is done, the moving company will pack and load your belongings in their transport vehicle. You have the right to be present when this process happens and the boxes are being weighed.

8. Transportation and shipping:

Whether in the same country or abroad, it is the moving company’s responsibility to ensure that the transportation takes place as planned and the goods/belongings reach the right destination.

9. On-time delivery:

A trait of a good moving company is the assurance of on-time delivery (with the exception of unpredictable weather or unforeseen circumstances).

10. Unpack and unload:

If you have opted for this service, the moving company will carefully unload and unpack your belongings or goods.

11. Support and communication:

One of the most important responsibilities, a good moving company will offer 24×7 support and be in constant communication with you.
