| When moving plan ahead as much as possible. I do not mean the week ahead, but months in advance. Arrange for East movers and and help. Furthermore, take into consideration the time of the move. For instance, try not to move to the upper midwest during January and avoid the south in the middle of August. Just a little common sense. |

Also make sure they give a thorough explanation of their pricing and process. For example, if the estimate is binding or non-binding.
