Those preparing for residential move who want to get help from a moving company; you must have checked some quotes from nearby moving companies. These companies are quite straightforward and need you fill-out spaces for name, e-mail address or phone number. The thing that you must be aware of is that whether the party you communicated with was actually a mover or some moving broker. Initially, it is not easy for people to tell the difference. But it is worth observing that both are entirely different. The responsibility of moving partners is to serve for actually transporting belongings of clients. These moving companies own all assets that are critical to doing this. These vehicles include moving & packing supplies carriers and trucks. As compared to moving companies, moving partners are normally acting as middlemen. These middlemen act as an intermediary between parties i.e. movers and clients. These are experienced salesmen collecting information and providing it to different movers against money. These are one of the companies that you would be hiring in the future. It is thus better to deal directly with those movers for the following reasons.
Problems & Risks With Brokers
Blaming Each Other
Shifting is not an easy task. Sometimes items go missing or broken, and moving brokers put the entire blame on relocating companies. In response, moving companies will be deflecting it onto those brokers. The least good thing about this fact is that only you are the losing party in this entire scenario. Direct interaction with movers helps in avoiding such issues and making relocating a simple task.
Inaccurate cost estimation
Moving brokers provide estimates via e-mail or phone. Without observing your items to transfer they can never make an appropriate estimate. It is not possible to accurately tell about a thing without having a look at it. One cannot be sure of the size and weight of many items. Estimates made by brokers are much less as compared to actual figures provided by moving companies. This is sometimes most of the unpleasant things that lead to conflicts.
Large Deposits
Advances demanded by brokers are large numbers that indicate that it is not a reputable mover. Such deposits are mostly used for covering actual costs and fees of brokers to arrange movers for clients. On the other hand, they also get their share of income from moving companies.
Why Directly Hiring Movers Is Better
Experienced/skilled workers
Choosing your movers yourself allow you to make a best possible choice. You cannot be sure about your moving broker being related to a qualified mover. It must be ensured that respective mover has proper certification and license. Also, you can also choose movers that have moving insurance to ensure the safety of your belongings.
Lower risk & reduced stress
Directly hiring involves less risk that through an intermediate. Movers better help with relocation. You can research & check past customer reviews. It also leads to less stress than the other option. Chances of miscommunication are reduced due to an absence of any middleman.
