This is a million dollar question that is actually pretty hard to answer. The reason is every single company can say, write, advertise anything they want and there is no guarantee that it’s actually true. Unfortunately the most removalists do not back themselves up and the client gets poor, unfair, stressful service. We highly recommend reading our article HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT REMOVALIST(will be available very soon). Hope that will get you an idea and help you make a decision. But generally speaking it’s almost impossible to know which is the right one before you actually hire them. Some of the companies are pretty good online, they have an excellent web site, they have 1000s of reviews, and they have been very well known for decades. Looks very good on paper… But what if I tell you that they are overwhelmed with the bookings? What if they are lacking experienced staff? Therefore they are sending untrained people who have no idea what to do anyway. And what if with all these issues they are still charging you the highest rate on the market (unfortunately at least 80% of them do). I can give you another example. Let’s say you have found the cheapest, promising company. Next day they showed up late, no blankets, no trolleys, barely communicating, with no good intentions whatsoever but money. Now you realize that it’s too late, you have no choice.
So with all that it can be very challenging to find the right one who can take care of business. If you are still reading it tells that you have this gut feeling about us and you are ready to give us a try. We don’t want to sound like one of these sweet talking companies. We just tell you the facts. We do know the business from A to Z. ALDEN REMOVALS young and ambitious company, founded by two friends who have been in industry for over 12 years, with a lot of energy and motivation to become great in the business. And we are going to prove it every possible way we can. Take your time to look at our short clips and articles, “about us” page, find us on Facebook, read all our terms and conditions and LET US MOVE IT.
