Here are 4 things to consider when choosing a relocation company for hire:

1. Are You Moving Domestically or Internationally?

While most local moving companies cover basic handling and transporting of household furniture, appliances, and personal belongings, there’s still a risk of mismanagement that requires waivers from customers. If you’re moving domestically, there’s probably the overhanging worry of wanting to stick to a certain budget without breaking the bank. However, there’s always the possibility of certain add-ons for services rendered that covers very big items that require more manpower, or fragile belongings that need extra packaging.

2. How are Your Belongings Stored in Transit?

For international relocation, your belongings will have to pass through a transit point that will require storage facilities for a certain amount of time.

Regardless of long or short term transit, Crown’s storage facilities around the world offer the best possible protections for all your belongings wherever they are. Customers will be advised on options available should you require storage at your location of departure, final point of arrival, or in between transit location.

3. Are Your Belongings in Safe Hands?

This is why Crown offers the CrownCare Transit Protection plan with policies that offer full replacement cost coverage on an all-risks basis.
