Craigslist Movers vs. Professionals
Craigslist VS Charlotte Movers
When moving in Charlotte, you may be tempted to find movers from the popular site Craigslist. This site is great for buying and selling furniture or finding free stuff, but how reputable are the movers? Professional movers, like T-N-T Moving Systems, can be trusted because they licensed, insured and come with references.
Often we need help moving. Our friends and family members are busy or can’t physically help. Finding the right help and paying a fair price is what everyone wants. You can find a plethora of laborers on Craigslist- willing to do almost anything, but can you trust them with your stuff?
A licensed moving company can provide peace of mind that you can’t get from a stranger on Craigslist. Before hiring a stranger, think about protecting yourself and your belongings.
Get References. Do your research and ask around. Find out who your friends or family members have used. Usually a licensed company will have online reviews you can check out. If interested in a Craigslist mover, ask them for references and follow up! Make sure they are not making up fake references just to get your business.
Get it in Writing. Usually a licensed, professional company will give you a written estimate. You can get a free quote from T-N-T here. A Craigslist mover will not likely do this. It is best if everything is written down on paper, in a contract form, not just in an email. Shop around and get at least 3 written estimates. Those who are willing to put everything on paper should put your mind at ease. Professional moving companies, T-N-T Moving Systems , always give you a contract for your move.
Be thorough. Go through the estimates, contracts and details. Make sure you understand what the movers are offering and how much everything will cost. You don’t want to be surprised with hidden fees.
Moving day comes with enough headaches. Hiring movers from Craigslist might bring about unwanted stress. Worrying about if they are going to just take off with your stuff or show up on time. What if they damage your stuff? Will they replace what they damage? With T-N-T Moving Systems, you get professionals that have liability insurance to cover accidents and ensure a safe move. When moving your precious belongings, it’s better to stick with the professionals.
