Choosing the right mover is crucial for a hassle free experience. Make inquiries through friends, colleagues and acquaintances or just search online. Choose a company that has been in the business for a long time as their reputation would be known. Above all trust your judgement as you will be moving items that have a lot of sentiments attached. The cheapest may not always be the best.
