Tips For Choosing Pool Table Movers

By Marissa Velazquez


Moving to a new region is generally very hectic and it even becomes more challenging if one of the things to be moved is a pool table. This is because pool tables are bulky, delicate and very pricey. This means you will need to be extra attentive with it for it to reach the destination safe. The only realistic way to achieve this is to hire a reputable mover. However, not all moving companies you see around are reputable. Below are tips for people looking to hire pool table movers.

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.

The cost of transporting the stand should also not be ignored. Let nobody cheat you that it is going to be cheap. In fact most movers charge very high fees for moving such delicate items like pool tables because in case of damage they will be held responsible. However, you can still find affordable mover through window shopping. Request quotes from at least three different companies and choose one that you are comfortable with.

A mover who knows whatever he is doing will not take long to transport just a pool stand. Because of this, it would be important to ask your potential mover how long it will take him to deliver. You can expect a good mover to take a very short time. Avoid companies that cannot give you time frame that it will take them to complete the job.

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.

It is also very important to confirm that you are dealing with a genuine mover. This can be verified by confirming whether the mover has valid license of operation. You should avoid companies without license as it will be very difficult to trace them in case of a malpractice.

Choosing pool table movers is a very important exercise that should never be rushed. Take your time and choose the best and the only way to achieve this is to start the search early enough. Do not wait until it is too late to start running up and down in search of moving companies.
