Why Choose Meridian? 

Selecting the right moving company for your relocation needs can be a challenging, sometimes daunting, task.  Before you choose a moving company, it’s critical to know who you’re dealing with.  Beware the “rogue” companies that are encroaching on the moving industry*.

To get you started with your search, consider the following do’s and don’ts to help you select your best moving choice.

  • Talk with friends, relatives, and business associates.  Word of mouth is an excellent resource to ask about the mover’s reputation.
  • Ask if the mover has offices and storage warehouses in your area.
  • Does the mover offer packing, transportation, storage, and valuation options?
  • Identify how long the transportation company has been in business.
  • Is the local mover associated with a major van line?
  • Does the moving company have local affiliations, such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau?
  • Do their industry affiliations include the American Moving and Storage Association; can they prove that they are a “Certified Mover” through the AMSA program?
  • Does the transportation company offer international relocation services?
  • Does the moving company have its own moving vans?
  • Never deal with an Internet moving broker until you’ve determined that they are a reputable moving company associated with a major van line.
  • Always obtain more than one estimate/quote for your move:
  • You are entitled to fair and accurate pricing for your relocation needs.
  • Ask for guarantee guidelines on pricing and related dates for your move.
  • Ask for the transportation company’s operating license numbers.
  • Insist on an in-home visual survey of your household goods.
