How to Evaluate Movers Oxnard Has to Offer


Oxnard, California is home to many moving companies, but most of them don’t have adequate experience in providing moving services. Many of the self storage and moving companies in Oxnard are unlicensed and uninsured, which is dangerous for their business and for their customers. When you are attempting to evaluate movers Oxnard has to offer, you should always make sure that you ask the right questions and get the right information about the company. Never just assume that a company is the best because they are listed in the local yellow pages or because they have a nice office. Ask questions, such as:

  • Are you fully insured?
  • Do you have workers compensation coverage? How much?
  • How long have your drivers been working in this business? What is their rating like?
  • Does your company have a good rating (A+) with the Better Business Bureau?
  • Is the company family owned or corporate owned?
  • Do you have an office, or do you operate with only a moving truck and a cell phone?
  • If they offer storage services, are they located in a safe area and are they experts on storage facilities and services?

By taking the time to ask these questions, you will easily eliminate the companies that you don’t want to work with and bring out the best of the best movers Oxnard has to offer. There might be other questions or elements that you are concerned with, so be sure to make your own list of questions to ask when you start interviewing moving companies. Do you need boxes and moving supplies? Will you need self storage Oxnard as well? Think about what you expect from moving companies and make sure that you get exactly what you are looking for.

You deserve to be picky when you are evaluating movers Oxnard has to offer. You should always make sure that you check out every detail so that you don’t wind up using a bad company or getting taken advantage of. With so many unlicensed and uninsured moving companies popping up throughout Ventura County, you can never be too safe. Keep a list of questions that you are going to ask and make sure that you get thorough answers. Any company who refuses to give you the information that you request probably has something to hide. The top moving companies will be forthcoming with any information that you ask for, because they want to prove to you that they are the right company for the job.
