5 Questions to Ask Your Relocation Company Before You Choose

Many times we are unaware of things that we do not know. Especially when it comes to things like moving and relocating, people are completely clueless about how to get things done. As most people only move once or twice in their entire life, they do not know how exactly to go about moving and relocating. Even choosing a relocation company becomes a daunting task for many.

Relocating to a new city is just not about packing your stuff and moving it from point A to Point B. There are several crucial steps involved in relocation, right from packing your belongings to choosing the right moving company. If you are looking for relocating to an international destination and to a city like Dubai, you need to be sure before you hire your moving company.

Kingdom International movers is an experienced moving company working internationally for more than ten years. We have our offices based in several parts of Saudi Arabia, India, UAE, and Dubai. To make your hiring decision easier, we have compiled a list of 5 questions you must ask your moving company before you choose them.

1. Do you have licenses and permissions required for an international move?

For international relocation, there are several things and documentation to be done. There is immigration check and various other formalities that are strictly followed at airports. Every single tiny pin from your belongings is passed through filters and checks by immigration authorities. For breezily going through such formalities, your relocation company should be properly licensed, and they should be following all the guidelines laid down by various authorities. Thus, when you are choosing relocation services in Dubai, make sure you ask them whether they have all the required licenses and permissions.

A reputed international moving company like Kingdom International Movers will not only tell you yes they have, but they will also show you all the original copies of the licenses and permissions they have. Choosing a relocation company like Kingdom International Movers makes your immigration easier because these companies have a positive rapport with the immigration authorities that will help you with smoother immigration.

2. Do you conduct a background check on your employees?

When you opt for a full-service package from your relocation company, several of their employees who are absolute strangers will be going through all your stuff. This can be quite crucial because when strangers are going through your stuff, they get to know about several things about your life. Your valuable possessions like jewelry, art pieces, and even documents are handled by them. To ensure your privacy and safety of your possession, verify from your moving company whether they conduct background checks on their employees.

Kingdom International Movers, one of the oldest international relocation companies in Dubai, always carries background checks on all of their employees at periodic intervals. Any time you can demand us to verify documentary about background checks of our employees, we will be happy to clear all your doubts.

3. Coverage up to what extent do you offer?

While you are inquiring about your moving company, make sure you ask about the insurance specifically. Having relocation insurance is very important. Anything can go wrong anytime, so it is always wise to be insured. Some moving companies offer only transit insurance, that is when your belongings are in transportation and if anything goes wrong they will cover it. While some reputed companies like Kingdom International Movers offer complete insurance of your belongings. Right from any damage caused while packing to loading and unloading, our insurance covers any damage caused by even human error. So make sure while you search for Relocation Company in Dubai you clear all your doubts about insurance and always get complete details about it on the quotation.

4. What service do you offer? And do you give any free service?

For your relocation to Dubai when you are hunting for the best relocation companies in Dubai, always ask what services do they offer? There are many things to be carried out while moving. Packing your belongings in the boxes is not the only thing to be done. There are pieces of furniture in your house or office that may be odd-shaped, to pack such odd-shaped pieces requires a certain level of expertise and skill. Many times, to remove large furniture pieces out of your house, the moving company might have to open door frames and do some other major changes.

Your moving company should be able to handle all this without causing you any trouble. Kingdom international movers have well-qualified staff, when we do a preliminary inspection of any premises, we compile a list of necessary equipment and the number of heads that are required to do the relocation and accordingly plan everything for you. When we have clients coming back to us and when you opt for full service, we often give freebies like free boxes and other packaging material. So always ask what services your moving company offer and if they can give any freebies to you.

Will the company give you a binding estimate or not exceed the estimate?

A binding estimate or a not to exceed estimate is nothing but an estimated quotation given to you that will not exceed the amount mentioned in it. You would not want to end up receiving a surprise bill that has shot up to the sky. Many companies but not all moving companies offer such estimates. So you should inquire beforehand whether the company will provide you with a binding estimate. Kingdom International Movers always conducts a preliminary inspection before giving an estimate. Thus, it helps us in giving estimates that always stay within the estimated amount and never shoot up. We are also fortunate to have extremely skilled and well-experienced staff working for us. We have staff members that are working in the moving industry for the last 10-15 years; with such rich experience, going over the budget hardly happens.
