August 26, 2024

Choosing the right moving company can be one of the most critical decisions you'll make during the moving process. At NL Wilson Moving & Storage, we understand how stressful moving can be, whether you're relocating within the Kansas City metropolitan area or moving long-distance.


With so many options available, it’s essential to ensure you select a company that you can trust with your valuable belongings. That's why we've put together this guide to help you make an informed decision.


Here are five key tips to ensure you choose the best moving company for your needs.

Tip 1: Check for Proper Licensing and Insurance

When selecting a moving company, it’s crucial to ensure they are fully licensed and insured. This protects you in case of any accidents or damages during the move. At NL Wilson Moving & Storage, we are fully licensed and insured, giving you peace of mind that your move is in safe hands.


Never hesitate to ask for proof of licensing and insurance from any moving company you're considering—it's a vital step in protecting your belongings.

Tip 2: Read Reviews and Get Recommendations

Word of mouth and online reviews can be incredibly valuable when choosing a moving company. Check out reviews on platforms like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau to see what past customers have said about their experiences.


Our team takes pride in our long-standing reputation in the Kansas City area, built over nearly six decades of serving our community. Don’t just take our word for it—our satisfied customers speak volumes. Also, ask friends, family, or coworkers for recommendations based on their experiences.

Tip 3: Get Multiple Estimates

It’s always a good idea to get at least three written estimates from different moving companies. This helps you compare not only prices but also the services included in each quote. At NL Wilson Moving & Storage, we offer free, no-obligation estimates to help you understand exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden fees, just straightforward pricing.


Be sure to ask what's included in each estimate, such as packing services, insurance, and any other potential charges. Remember, the lowest price isn’t always the best value if it means sacrificing service quality.

Tip 4: Ask About Extra Services

Every move is unique, and sometimes you need more than just transportation. That’s why it’s important to ask about additional services a moving company might offer. We provide a comprehensive range of services including packing, unpacking, furniture assembly/disassembly, and secure, climate-controlled storage solutions.


Whether you’re looking for help with the heavy lifting or need a safe place to store your belongings, we’ve got you covered. Make sure to discuss these services upfront to avoid surprises on moving day.

Tip 5: Verify the Company’s Experience and Expertise

Experience matters, especially when it comes to moving. You want a company that has handled moves similar to yours with a proven track record of success.
