Asking questions should be an important part of your hiring process for household movers. An answer that a moving company gives you will tell a lot about how their business operates.

If you have never hired movers, you may be unsure about what questions to ask. This article will cover the top questions to ask household movers during your upcoming relocation. 

Are You Licensed and Insured?

Licensing and insurance are necessary steps to being a professional moving provider. The first questions you should ask any mover should be based on verifying their licensing and insurance. 

A licensed mover will have the necessary credentials to perform relocations in your area. If a mover is not licensed, it's a sign that you should look for another provider and avoid them.

What Services Are Included in Your Estimate?

When working with a mover, you should always request an estimate for your desired service. A mover will provide an overview of the costs and a breakdown of what you can expect once the move is finished.

However, moving companies may not put certain services in the estimate and add them to the final bill. You should always request further clarification on what services and costs are included in the quote. 

How Do You Handle Delicate or High-Value Items?

If you have fragile or valuable items, you likely want reassurance that the mover can handle their transportation. An experienced mover will provide special care for your items to ensure their safety.

When hiring a mover, you should ask how they would handle your valuable items during transport. Services like custom crating will help to protect items during a transportation journey. 

What Is Your Policy on Delays or Cancellations?

Hiring a mover requires agreeing on a specific date to start the moving process. A mover often schedules services close together, so you don't have much flexibility for the service.

Discuss any policies the moving company has for a delay or cancellation in the relocation. In some cases, a mover may let you change the moving date for free but it's not a guarantee for all movers.
