Best Long Distance Movers in Chicago

If there is a choice, most moving companies suggest you select a time other than summer, the end-of-the-month or the end-of-year holidays. The heaviest demands are placed on trucks, equipment and personnel during these periods. However, We believe that you should take a long distance move when it is most convenient for you. Factors involved in the decision may include:

• The move must be made immediately.
• Moving children during the school term.
• Separation of the family while the move is under way

If the move can be scheduled for a time when moving trucks and trained personnel are more readily available, we’ll be better able to meet your preferred delivery schedule.

This depends on many factors, such as:

• The time of year.
• Weather conditions.
• Size of your shipment.
• Time required to load and unload.
• The direction and distance.

Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a van, it is often necessary for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully sectioned off from the others.
With the help of Best Price Moving computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the truck, as well as shipment weight.

The earlier, the better. Although the actual truck assignment may not be made until a few days before your move, it’s wise to give Best Price Moving from four to six week’s notice, if possible. The more lead time you can give, the more likely we will be able to meet your preferred delivery schedule.
All moving companies, for their standard type of service, require alternate pickup and delivery dates. We’ll do our best, of course, to comply with the dates you prefer or the nearest possible alternatives. You will be notified in advance of the loading date for your goods and of the estimated date of arrival.
If your pickup and delivery dates are critical due to such factors as a lease expiration or a real estate closing, you may choose an extra-cost service which will enable us to accommodate a more precise, reasonable schedule. You should discuss your specific pickup and delivery requirements with your sales consultant, so that we can advise you regarding the types and costs of services available.

It would be more accurate to say that a moving company is “registered.” For example, Best Price Moving has been issued a certificate of authority by the federal government to move household goods among any of the 48 states. As a motor carrier, Best Price has maintained a certificate of authority with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) since July 18, 1997.

A Best Price agent will make a pre-move survey of your household goods to be transported. A pro-move survey is needed to determine the approximate cost of a move based on the amount of weight you are looking to move. Your Best Price agent will compute the approximate cost and give you an Estimate/ Order for Service. An accurate estimate cannot be calculated without a visual survey of the goods to be moved. There is no charge for the estimate. Keep in mind that estimates (household goods surveys) are only guidelines. On interstate shipments, final charges are determined by the actual weight of your shipment, the distance it travels, and the services that you authorize or which become necessary to handle your shipment.
