LOCAL MOVERS IN SACRAMENTO

Finding a local mover in Sacramento can be difficult. This Forbes article explains, “To find a reputable moving company, be thorough in your research, comparing options on the best moving companies could be a good kick off point.” Here are four key questions to help you determine who the best Sacramento local mover is for you:

• Is the moving company part of a nationwide chain, or is it a locally-owned, family-owned moving company? Nationwide chains cannot provide the level of personalized service that a locally-owned, family-owned moving company can. Most often, the owner of the locally-owned moving company is on the premises, so you can talk to them if needed.
• What services do they provide? Full-service moving companies provide additional services such as packing and unpacking, warehouse storage, and junk removal. However, not all moving companies are considered full-service, nor do they all offer the same services, so make sure the moving companies you are considering offer the services you need for your move.
• Are they a member of a nationwide van line, and is the van line posted prominently on the site? Major van lines, like Bekins Van Lines, encompass hundreds of moving companies across the nation that function as interstate agents under the van line’s USDOT license number. This partnership with a well-known van line brings higher credibility to each of their interstate agents, reassuring you that your move is being handled by trustworthy professionals.
• Do they have awards and accreditations from reputable authorities in the moving industry? Common examples of these include awards from van lines, including Agent of the Year, partnerships with Moving Associations in California, and an A+ accreditation from the BBB.

After going through these questions, you will notice that Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage, an interstate agent of Bekins Van Lines, stands out as the best local mover in Sacramento.

The timeframe for your local move depends on many factors, including distance, the number of items that need to be moved, and any additional services you may require. It’s also important to keep in mind that time slots tend to fill up fast. Therefore, contacting the company in advance increases your chances of getting the moving time you want.

The California Deparment of Consumer Affairs states, “Verify that a moving company is authorized to operate in California. Moving companies will be licensed and regulated by the Bureau of Household Goods and Services.”. A licensed and insured moving company ensures that the moving company is following industry regulations and has met the necessary legal requirements. It also offers an added layer of financial security, assuring that your move will be handled with the utmost care and responsibility.

Moving.com recommends, “Stick with moving companies that are BBB accredited or at least have a good rating. If the moving company isn’t listed with the BBB, consider looking for one that is. Looking at the reviews of a local moving company can give you great insight into how they treat and care for their customers. Positive reviews with 4.5 and 5-star ratings typically indicate that the company has established a reputation for being reputable and trustworthy. We suggest looking at their total number of Google Reviews, how recent their reviews are, if they respond to negative reviews, and their overall score. By assessing these criteria within a review, you can determine whether the moving company aligns with your specific needs and expectations.

Yolo Transfer Moving and Storage has consistently received stellar 5-star reviews and ratings from our valued customers. We also achieved an A+ rating from the BBB. Our commitment to quality moves and customer satisfaction begins way before the moving process even starts.

In the moving industry, companies are bound by law to ensure the safe transportation of your items. Regarding quote guarantees, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration explains, “Under a nonbinding estimate, the moving company cannot require you to pay more than 110 percent of the non-binding estimate at the time of delivery.”

Federal regulations require movers to provide free Limited Liability Coverage for items that may get lost or damaged during transit. This valuation plan guarantees you compensation of 60 cents per pound for each item lost or damaged during the move.

At Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage, we uphold this standard and go even further by offering Full Value Protection Coverage, which you can learn more about in our “Am I Covered for Damaged or Lost Items During a Local Sacramento Move?” section below.

As a customer-focused moving company, Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage offers guaranteed pricing with no hidden fees. Our transparency policy ensures that what we quote is what you pay, giving you the peace of mind that there are no unexpected costs. “Our commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction means you can trust that there will be no surprises on your final bill,” highlights our owner, Josh Tracy.

Moving companies offer protection for your items during the moving process, which is referred to as valuation. The two major types of coverage include Limited Liability Coverage and Full Value Protection Coverage. Limited Liability Coverage is the minimal protection required by federal law, while Full Value Protection Coverage provides more comprehensive protection. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration states, “Under Full Value Protection, your mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment.”

Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage proudly offers both types of coverage to ensure maximum protection for your belongings. Regardless of the size or value of your items, we are committed to safeguarding them from the moment we pick them up until they are safely delivered to your new location. “Trusted since 1973, our comprehensive coverage options reflect our dedication to protecting your valuables and providing peace of mind,” assures our owner, Josh Tracy.

When planning a move, flexibility is paramount. You want a moving company that can adapt to your schedule, even if that means working on weekends or on a tight deadline. However, schedules do fill up, especially in the summer months of June, July, and August, so schedule your moving date as soon as you can. This USA Today article also states, “The best time to move is typically mid-month. The end of the month sees heightened demand and increased prices due to leases and contracts ending. Weekends tend to be busier because of work schedules.”

That’s where Yolo Transfer Moving & Storage shines. We are ready to cater to your moving schedule, offering weekend availability to ensure a seamless moving process. Furthermore, with as little as a week or two of notice, we can expertly handle your move, eliminating any unnecessary stress. With Yolo, you’re not just choosing a moving company, you’re selecting a partner who prioritizes your needs. “Our priority is to adapt to your schedule and make your move as smooth as possible, providing flexibility and reliability,” assures our owner, Josh Tracy.
