How to choose a good moving company

Have you decided to get help from a professional moving company for your move? Whether it's a residential or commercial move, it's a good idea to do some background research on the moving company. While most movers are reliable and responsible, there are also companies that don't have their act together.

It's wise to check if the moving company is a member of the Danish Furniture Removal Association(DMF). This is a clear indicator that the moving company is responsible and that the employees have decent working conditions.

At Mesterflyt we are a member of DMF, as we want to ensure the best conditions for our customers and employees.

It's always a good idea to compare the quotes you receive with each other. For example, if you get a quote that's well below the average of what other moving companies offer, you should check if it's too good to be true. 

There are always costs associated with a move. While prices should of course be competitive compared to other movers, a very low price can also indicate that the moving company is not the safest or most reliable in the industry.

One of the easiest ways to find a reliable and safe moving company is to check out what others write online. A quick Google search or reviews on TrustPilot can give you insight into other people's experiences with the moving company, which can help you decide whether to use them for your residential or commercial move.

It's quick and easy to ask friends and family members for moving company recommendations. Based on their recommendations, you can investigate the company further either on Trustpilot or by looking it up in the CVR register. Some moving companies close down and reappear shortly after with a new name, so it's wise to do a background check on the company.

Many moving companies offer both fixed and hourly rates, and you may want to check how the price is calculated. One is not necessarily better than the other. 

With an hourly rate, be aware that you don't know the final price and the price may be higher than originally estimated if the move takes longer than expected. However, if you only need help with a small part of the move, it can be an advantage to choose an hourly rate.

You should also be aware that mileage is calculated from the moving company leaving from their own address.

It is advantageous to choose a moving company that is a member of Danske Vognmænd (DTL), as they ensure that the everyday life of the movers runs as efficiently and smoothly as possible.

To become a member of Danske Vognmænd, the moving company must have high business ethics. Therefore, membership with DTL is your guarantee that the moving company meets the market's highest standards and complies with DMF's General Terms and Conditions.

Mesterflyt is a member of DTL, so you can rest assured that we comply with all the standards below to make your move as painless as possible.
