If you're on a budget and you know exactly what and when you need to move, ask your commercial moving service for a binding or flat-rate cost estimate. This ensures that the cost of your move will not exceed a fixed amount, however long it takes.
If you opt for a binding estimate for your commercial move, the moving service will require you to work closely with them on tagging and packing, and in most cases will ask for a detailed inventory and exclusive use of elevators and other points of access.
When you're considering commercial moving service, you would be remiss if you didn't check them out through both the Better Business Bureau and the Department of Transportation. If a company has a bad record (especially with the DOT), move on to the next one on your list.
