Questions to ask a commercial moving company

When searching for a professional commercial relocation company, you must ask the following questions.

  • Is your moving company licensed?
  • Does your company charge by the piece or by the hour?
  • Do you have a minimum charge? How do you charge after the minimum is met – in 15-minute increments or every half hour?
  • Do you have any extra charges for larger items or extra flights of stairs?
  • Do you charge for the travel time from your office to my business?
  • Do you charge extra for moves in the evenings or on the weekends?
  • What payment options do you offer? (Many moving companies require a deposit.)
  • Do you have full-time employees or do you use temps and day labor? (Be cautious of companies that use temps or day labor because they may not be properly insured.)
  • Do you carry worker’s compensation for your employees?
  • What kind of training have your movers and drivers completed?
  • Are items insured during the move? (Even if a mover is bonded and insured, it doesn’t mean that your items are covered during the move. Some states require a company put a valuation of 60ยข per pound of coverage.)
  • What kind of cancellation policy do you offer? (You should always be able to cancel or postpone until a few days before your move.)
  • Do you offer free moving quotes? (We recommend getting an estimate for all business moves.)
  • Do you have a contact number for the day of the move should any challenges arise?

After scheduling with our Commercial Relocation Specialists:

  • Conduct a pre-move conference with managers at your firm
  • Let all employees know their roles and responsibilities for the move
  • Limit employee participation on move day
