Check the comments and get the rate as soon as you know the date of your move. Because most moving companies charge an hourly rate, pay special attention to the speed they move when you read the reviews. Also, find out if there is a potential moving company to add an unexpected additional rate for stairs, heavy, large furniture and the distance from the parking lot where the move will take place.

In addition, make sure all the items you eat before the loaders arrive. Per hour expenses will accumulate if the removal team to clean the door or wait for the box to eat.
- Sometimes relocation permit is needed to park the moving truck on the street and removal company did not get permission. You need to get a permit through the city. In some cities, the process to obtain the moving permit lasts for a week, so you can get it early, if not, you don't get it before the moving date. In addition, talk to new neighbors or home management in the old and the new residence about the parking situation before the move. Ask them to help you find a place to park the actuator. If the moving company has been park far away and transport matters even further, this will require additional time, which will add cost to your final bill.
