Our 10 moving tips

Tip 2 - Get a reliable moving company.

It is not simple for us to remind you of this without losing objectivity but we can offer you some suggestions.

Firstly, it is ideal to plan ahead and have two or three estimates. If you do not have too much time, some person who has moved before you, might offer you some references. This will shorten your search time.

Generally, a good international moving company is affiliated to more than three international agencies regulating the activity. This might be accompanied with some international quality certificate as ISO or FAIM. We recommend you to visit the site www.fidi-faim.com.

We must also tell you that there are many companies which advertise on the Internet or the Yellow Pages and which do not have the proper structure, such as specialised packing, their own warehouses or their own truck fleet. When in doubt, visit the company you are hiring to carry out your move. Consider that you are entrusting this company with the belongings which took you a lifetime to gather.

Lastly, beware of prices “too good to be true". Demand an estimate in writing where the scope of the services is clearly and completely specified.
