Hourly OR Flat Rate Movers

By Rachelle Gordon


Choosing between an hourly rate mover and a flat rate mover?Moving undoubtedly turns out to be arduous and hectic, and it is not possible for normal people like us to get this job done, easy and quick, over the period of time and evolution of technology, moving companies have started offering their professional services, which consists of entire movement expenses, including fuel, labor, traveling times, taxes, and so on. moreover their services includes use of modern equipment, and have a well trained labor to get the job done simple and fast, and keep all your moving worries at bay!.

Who's an hourly rate mover?

A mover which offers you his service on hourly basis will be referred to as hourly rate movers, they will charge you for the amount of time they've worked transferring your products from one place to another, they're not thinking about the worth of the items they are carrying, instead they'll simply ask you to pay their standard charges multiplied by the hours they worked for you.

Who is a flat rate mover?

Moving companies which offer you services on a flat rate basis, i.e. they quote the price of the whole assignment, before taking up the assignment. Generally when offering services such as intrastate moving, they'll quote a price on the phone or via e-mail, and just apply the hourly rate charges, in case the distance to be travelled is long, after which their representatives will come up to your place, examine, evaluate and estimate a cost for your property to be moved. Generally this flat rate is a promise of the moving company that the prices will not shoot up that their quoted cost, more over there are not any concealed charges included in the service, which are more likely to be present in the hourly-rate mover's invoice.

Best Moving Tips to find good movers:

* Hire the best mover available to you in your area.

* Does some research work before calling in any mover, get their reviews from the internet, or the local estate agents and local business listings.

* Look for only those movers those who are certified, insured and bonded, and have enough prior experience as a mover

* Get at least 3 in home evaluations done from different movers to have a tough idea, about the costs in general.

* Don't go in for the lowest price, because lower price can mean desperate movers.

* Get a "maximum costs not to exceed" estimate done, that means the mover will make an estimate and quote the maximum cost before beginning an assignment and will be bound by it, this isn't relevant in case of flat-rate movers.

* Don't opt-in for rogue movers, trust your instincts, and get you goods moved only by those whom you really feel like relying on.

* Do make certain that your mover while moving gives you an entire list of the things he will be moving, to ensure that he doesn't get hold off the free stuff in between.I find that flat rate moving services are much more superior and smart than the hourly rate moving services.
