Look for a full service company that represents a reputable national company that has been in business in your area for a long time. It is important that the mover be a member of the California Moving and Storage Association because of a commitment to a customer service code of ethics. Make certain the mover has a State of California permit to operate.
Reputable movers are busy and operate on a first-come basis.
Two months ahead of the intended move is not too early. Talk to them first to find the one that best fits your needs. Also, movers can sometimes save money by combining loads to a single destination. Rates will vary depending on the time and material as well as the origin and destination. Here, the advice of a professional is very important.
