Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Melrose Park, IL can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in Melrose Park, IL, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
If you're planning on moving, whether it's just across town from Melrose Park, IL or all the way on the other side of the state, local moving companies group both of those types of moves as 'intrastate moves'. You have to play close attention when you're in the process of moving and make sure your moving company never crosses state lines. This is one of the most important points to remember when you are negotiating with your chosen moving company, so it stays classified as an intrastate move. The act of crossing state lines can happen accidentally or on purpose to cut travel time, and if it does go over state lines, it will now be classified as a long-distance move. If you are still unsure about this concept and would like more clarification, you are more than welcome to visit the long distance moving section of this website.
As you begin to prepare for your intrastate move, you still have to prepare for the same concerns you would face with a long distance move. Researching different moving companies and making sure you are only choosing reputable companies, so you get the best value for each moving service you require. You should keep the points listed below in mind. What size truck will you need? Do you plan on renting a storage facility upon arrival at your new home if you find you don't have enough space? Do you plan to pack all of your things or will the company be helping you do this? Is the moving company you hired properly insured and licensed? (If the movers work for Wirefly they will always have proper certifications) Do you have different quotes from separate movers in Melrose Park, IL you can reference? Do you have a budget created to help estimate the costs of the move? If you're feeling overwhelmed, Wirefly was designed to help you answer all of these important questions.
As far as long-distance moves are concerned, they all fit into that category whether there’s one state line being crossed or several on the way to the consumer’s next home. Long distance moves also cover situations where the move ends at a city within the original state, but the moving route crosses a state line at some point to make the trip shorter. This is a common scenario for states that have uneven state lines, such as Texas, Wisconsin, Idaho, Minnesota and quite a few others.
The federal governing body that licenses long-distance moving companies in Melrose Park, IL is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which covers the residential moving and trucking industries. They also set up and enforce the regulations for long-distance moves. Wirefly verifies that all the movers in its network have the requisite insurance and licensing, but it’s still a good idea for consumers to look into moving companies on their own. While doing so, the consumer can check out a company’s performance records. The USDOT website is helpful for reviewing long-distance moving companies, and it will have accident and complaint reports available.
Of course, long distance moves tend to cost more than local moves. It’s important for consumers to remember that there are several factors that go into the cost of a move, and just because one moving company has the lowest quote doesn’t mean that will be the cheapest option. There could be services the consumer needs that aren’t included in one or more of the companies’ quotes, such as assistance packing up possessions. It’s common for moving quotes to only cover the most basic moving services and for any other services to cost extra. Consumers can avoid unexpected charges by getting a binding moving estimate from the moving company they choose, which has a list of all anticipated costs and guarantees that the moving company isn’t going to add any hidden costs. In setting up a long distance move, consumers in Melrose Park, IL will also need to figure out if they’d like to pack their belongings and then fly to their new home before the movers arrive, or if it’s better to rent a truck and move their belongings themselves.
