How To Go About The Choice Of Pool Table Movers

By Marissa Velazquez


There are very many factors to consider when looking for pool table movers. This is because this is one industry that is filled with very many scams, inexperienced companies and minor mistakes that can cost you a lot. By considering these factors, you are reducing the risks associated with the process in order to achieve safe delivery of your table. Here are just a few of these factors.

Your number one consideration should be insurance cover against damages that may be incurred in the process. This is a very important consideration and must never be overlooked. There are several ways you can track down insurance status of a mover. The easiest way is just to ask. However, you should never take the company word for it. Insist on seeing its insurance certificate. This will ensure that you are duly compensated in case of any incident leading to loss of property.

You also need a company with good reputations and nothing will demonstrate reputations than word of mouth from previous clients. As such, you can ask the mover for references. You can also read reviews from its past customers on the company website. A good mover will have many positive reviews. You can expect the reverse for a company that is not all that reputable.

You must also be mindful of the price. Even though moving companies will charge a little more for shifting pool stand, you do not have to pay insensible price for the exercise. You can always compare charges from several companies before settling on one of them. In order to have accurate quote, you need to give as many details to the mover as possible. Some of these details include your current location, destination, the kind of stand you own and so forth.

Transporting a pool table is work that should take just three hours if you exclude time on the road. You should therefore inquire from your mover of choice the duration it will take him to deliver the table to the desired destination. If they say that it is going to take more than a day, then they probable do not know what they are doing. In such a situation, it would be advisable to search elsewhere.

The type of equipment that will be used to move the stand should also be considered. Different companies will use different types of equipment. However, there are a few things that need to be clear. Transporting a pool stand at the back of a pickup or an open trailer may be risky. A professional mover should have an enclosed trailer or a box truck for safety during transportation.

Such service providers are always required by law to have license of operation. This is the only way you can be sure that the mover is operating legally. So prior to contracting any mover, you should ask for its license. If he finds it difficult to provide this very important document, then he is definitely hiding something.

By following all the above when looking for pool table movers, you should be able to find good ones. It is also advisable to start the search early. You should never wait until it is too late.
