5 qualities to look out for while hiring international moving companies in Singapore

If you are relocating internationally, like say if you are shifting from Dubai to India, then more often than not you would (and you should!) entrust professional international packers and movers Singapore to India with the task of handling your relocation. But how do you identify if a moving company is professional or not? How do you determine if the international packers and movers from Singapore to India are as good as they promise they are? What qualities set the best service providers apart from the rest? The answers to all these questions lie in this blog. Read on to find them!

Online reviews and ratings

Online reviews and ratings give away a lot about the quality of service provided by the company. These reviews are usually posted by genuine customers, although sometimes companies create fake positive reviews for themselves too. However, if the number of people who have rated the company is fairly large, like say at least 50, then you can rely on them. A key factor to look out for is the ratio of 5 star reviews to 1 and 2 star reviews. If you find this ratio to be 1 or closer to it, then you can infer that the company is not consistent in its performance and you should look for better alternatives.

References & Testimonials

If the service provider is referred to you by someone, say a friend, a relative, or a colleague, then there is nothing more reliable than that as far as the quality of the company is concerned. If you don’t have any such reference, you can look out for customer testimonials on the company’s website. However, there is always a scope for making up fake testimonials so you can’t rely solely on them.

Licences & Certificates

Professional moving companies in Dubai would have the requisite licences and certificates to conduct their business. If you ask them to show their credentials, they’d be happy to do it. In fact, they may show you all these documents even before you ask because they know that these documents will help them win your trust. Unreliable service providers would obviously hesitate to produce these documents because, well, they don’t have them!

A legal contract

Arguably the greatest trait of the best movers and packers Singapore to India is that they would put all the specifics of the job in writing in a contract. They would also mention the responsibilities they undertake and the consequences they will bear if they fail them. And this obviously is a very desirable quality in any packing and moving service provider.

Insurance

You will never find packers and movers who don’t claim that the safety of your goods is their biggest concern when they help you in relocating to India. However, only a few of them put their words into action. Such service providers also offer an insurance cover to you for your goods, so that in case a mishap occurs, you will receive due compensation for the same from the insurance company.
