1. Recommendations from people you trust
Do not jump the gun. Ask family, friends, or coworkers who recently moved. Strong companies often surface by word of mouth.
2. Check online reviews
Check Google, Facebook, BBB, and Yelp. Liffey treated Google as the most used source. Read high and low ratings and how the company replies. Reviews can be faked, so look at substance.
3. A successful track record
You are trusting a company with fragile goods over distance. Be cautious with brand-new operators who have no customer base. BBB accreditation has a selection process. Liffey Van Lines has been a BBB accredited member since 1996, with experience back to 1975.
4. License and insurance
Ask for licenses, accreditations, and insurance. If a company refuses, walk away. You would not hire an unlicensed electrician.
5. Transparent prices
Get a clearly stated, itemized quote. Ask about fuel, extra flights of stairs, and other fees. Shop around, but be wary of quotes far below the others — they can grow through hidden charges or damaged property. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. See understanding your moving quote.
6. Good communication
A good mover uses reachable public contact details, not only odd or private numbers, and stays available when you have questions.
