How To Work With Us For A Military Move
When you choose Best US Moving for your long-distance move, the process is simple:
Step 1: Initial Contact and Pre-Move Consultation
Once you've selected a moving company specializing in military moves, the first step is to contact them to set up an initial consultation. This can typically be done over the phone or online. During this consultation, you will discuss your moving needs, the timeline, and any specific requirements or concerns you have. The moving company may ask for details such as the size of your household, the distance of the move, and your preferred moving dates.
Step 2: In-Home Survey and Inventory
Most moving companies will conduct an in-home survey to assess your belongings and provide a more accurate estimate of the moving costs. A representative will visit your home to inventory your items and assess the need for special packing or handling. This step is crucial for creating an accurate and comprehensive moving plan that addresses all your needs.
Step 3: Receiving a Quote and Planning
Based on the in-home survey, the moving company will provide a quote detailing the move's cost, including packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and any additional services like storage or special handling. Once you review and accept the quote, you can begin planning the move with the company. This will involve setting firm dates, finalizing the details of services required, and discussing any paperwork needed for the move.
Step 4: Preparing for the Move
Preparation for a military long distance moving often involves sorting and decluttering your belongings, securing important documents, and preparing your family for the move. The moving company may provide you with guidance and materials for packing, or they may handle all packing as part of their service. It's important to communicate clearly with the long distance movers about what items need special attention or are particularly valuable.
Step 5: Moving Day
On the day of the move, the moving team will arrive to pack (if not already done), load your belongings into the moving truck, and transport them to your new home. The team should handle your items carefully and work efficiently to adhere to the planned schedule. You should be present to oversee the packing and loading process to ensure everything is handled as agreed.
Step 6: Delivery and Unpacking
Upon arrival at your new home, the moving team will unload your belongings and help unpack and set up your new home if included in your service package. Some moving companies offer to reassemble furniture and place items in specific rooms according to your instructions.
Step 7: Post-Move Follow-up
After the move, the moving company should check in with you to ensure everything has been delivered in good condition and that you are satisfied with the service. This is a good time to address any concerns or damage claims, should they arise.
Final Steps
Ensure all service records and invoices are in order for reimbursement purposes or personal records. Military moves often involve specific paperwork for claiming moving expenses, so timely documentation is crucial.
