Fundamental Questions to Ask Your Mover in Seattle

As soon as you start asking for moving estimates, you will begin to get calls from every Seattle moving company you contacted.

Before requesting for an estimate, ask the Seattle moving company to provide basic information about the company, such as location, number of employees, and if they belong to a movers' association. Evaluate if they answer everything and seem interested in you.

Once you have limited it to three or four to choose from, ask that each Seattle mover pay you a visit to give you a visual estimate, it is the only way to get an accurate calculation and to check the company's image, to see if they inspire trust. Never settle for just a phone estimate; they must see your stuff to know what it will take to move it.

As follows, we provide a list of questions you must prepare and be ready to ask so that the Seattle moving company knows you understand your business as much as they understand theirs. It is not just about the questions, but also about the answers you receive. Besides getting the right answer, pay attention to how it is answered; care shows when it is real.

  1. For how long has the sales executive been providing estimates? It is all about experience. Ask about their background with the company and in the field. Were they promoted or have worked for another mover in Seattle? Experience produces trust… and precise estimates. If they avoid talking about the topic, beware.
  2. How long has the Seattle moving company been operating? Over ten years of experience is a very good sign about the work this company is doing. This is not the only important fact to consider, but it is a good supporting one.
  3. When will you get your things? Your chosen mover must be realistic about schedules. There is not so much speculation when the move is local, but anyway, there are schedules that are just plain impossible to meet.
  4. What types of services, insurance, and prices does the Seattle moving company offer? A professional company will have knowledgeable employees, capable and willing to offer detailed information about different options, prices and, of course, insurance.
  5. Is the moving company popular among businesses in the area? If businesses near you often use the mover's services, it is a sign that the company is doing its job. Ask them for references, but also check the Internet for impartial opinions.
  6. How will you guys move (fill the space)? Your possessions are valuable, and anyone you trust to handle them must care enough to have an impeccable answer for this question. They must tell you about the difficulties they foresee due to house or object design, exterior spaces, etc. This confirms the mover's knowledge and interest in you. Taking the time to answer goes a long way in establishing how right this Seattle moving company is for you.
  7. Lastly, and this one is for you; are they telling you only what you want to hear? If the mover in Seattle suggests something different from what you had thought of in regards to something, consider if it makes sense. Maybe it saves you money in some way, or time. In any case, this conveys disinterested care, and that's the kind you want to find.

It is not all about price, so, do not go for the cheapest option. In fact, the cheaper they are, the most probable it is that something is off, or that there are extra charges coming later. In the end, which moving company made the biggest effort in your benefit?

  • “The service was great!”

    Kristine S, Federal Way

    "I recently moved using Puget Sound Moving. Upon my first phone call with Cirdan I felt that this was a very thorough and knowledgeable company. It was the only company willing to provide me a written estimate with actual costs. Cirdan was fantastic and explained in great detail the process and what his company had to offer. Cirdan takes great pride in his business and takes great pride in his workmanship. The service was great! The movers were careful, friendly and quick. There were no hidden fees and they have an honest approach about doing business. I would highly recommend them and use them again in the future."

  • “Moved in less time”

    Yoko K, Seattle

    "My cred did an excellent job with our office and worked hard to get all our stuff moved. They were able to complete the whole move in less time than originally estimated, so the price was lower as well."

  • “Extremely professional and careful”

    Kristina W, Sammamish

    "Very impressed. Extremely professional and careful. In home estimate was very helpful, movers were polite and extremely careful to wrap everything. A manager actually came out during the move just to see how things were going. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone moving."

  • “Reasonable price and excellent service”

    Cynthia K, Bellevue

    "These guys were great. I got good information from them when I was looking for movers and interviewed several over the phone. Very pleasant, direct and to the point, no wasted time. Appropriate follow up, no nagging but good reminders. As I called out of sheer panic as moving day approached, they were kind and reassuring. They showed up on time, with everything they said they would have, and completed the job on time and within budget. They were careful and there was absolutely no damage. Very reasonable price and excellent service. Super!!"

  • “Would highly recommend them”

    Shelley L, Maple Valley

    "They arrived on time, were polite and very very careful with our things. I was amazed at the care they took to wrap every item that wasn't in a box. We have some HEAVY furniture and they had no trouble moving it out and in and up a long staircase. They completed the job an hour and a half sooner than their quote and actually charged us less than their estimate. Smooth move- would highly recommend them."

  • “Fast and efficient. Amazing!!”

    Dulce A, Edmonds

    "After some research your referrals were all positive. All of you were very honest! The crew worked very hard and did an excellent job. Our stuff was safe with them. We thank you so much for making this BIG move in our lives an easy step. You truly have done exactly what you promised when we first decided to use your company. Excellent customer service, extremely careful, really friendly. Above all fast and efficient- Amazing!! No way the move could have gone any better."

  • “Professional and friendly”

    Kristie, Zino Society, Seattle

    "Everything was handled beautifully. Was very impressed with every single person we dealt with. Cirdan went above and beyond to make this move happen and trouble shoot how to suit our needs. Professional and friendly from start to finish."
