Getting Started with References:

Getting recommendations are always the best way to begin your review of prospective moving companies in your area. The Yellow Pages and web research can help to find address and phone numbers of Richmond movers while referrals can offer the best leads. Ask your co-workers, friends, and then new neighbors about their moving experiences. Look for people who have recently moved to your area and ask them their experience with that particular moving company with whom they moved. Make sure to get complete details such as the names of the company, services they offered, packages and customized packages, and quality of services they offered. Even information about services that didn't go properly can also be helpful.

Apart from friends and co-workers, you can also try to get recommendations from industry professionals. Check with your real estate agent or leasing agent for experiences of their real time clients. They can be a source of helpful information regarding the moving company. If you are working in a large company then you can easily get information regarding the moving company they often take moving services from HR department as well. Getting such referrals will surely get your research begin on the right foot.

Always Consider the Licensed Company:

Richmond movers are regulated by local, state, and federal laws.

1. At the federal level: Under this level the interstate moving is performed by the moving company and need to be licensed by the Department of Transportation or DOT. For interstate moving the moving company has to transport the goods across the state border and for this action they need to get permission from the DOT.
2. Local Level: The DOT (Department of Transportation) does not controls local movers.
3. State Level: At the state level, laws are wide, and several states such as Alaska, District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, Maine, Utah,

South Dakota, and Vermont don't need moving companies to get a separate license for each. We also recommend that your Richmond Movers be insured and bonded as both proves that the moving company is legitimate and financial stability in case of miss happening happened during the move and you need to file a claim.
