Is Moveline Transforming The Moving Industry?

Moveline claims to be a moving company with a difference. It was founded in Southwest Virginia and formed due to a Modea and Lawrence Transportation Systems merger. The plan was to create an online marketplace which would allow the very best moving companies in the United States to exchange shipments of customer goods. This idea was nixed in favor of building software products to enhance the moving experience for customers. Proponents of Moveline claim that the company has revolutionized the moving industry. This organization was only set up in 2011 but it has already gained national recognition.

How Does Moveline Work?
The whole idea behind Moveline is to make the moving experience less stressful for customers. The company enables you to download a special app that helps you record footage of the goods you wish to move. This video inventory should come with a description of where you are planning to move.  You can then use Skype to contact one of the company’s Move Captains who will answer all your questions during the session. Within 24 hours, Moveline will send you a detailed inventory which you analyze and change if necessary. After final confirmation of the inventory and the dates you are planning to move, you will receive quotes from the companies in the Moveline network.

Moving Companies & Captains
Moveline claim to only work with the top businesses in the industry. Every company involved with the process must pass strict quality standards with a 10-point screening test in place. The performance level of each company is monitored and Moveline use customer reviews and feedback as part of this process. The Move Captains hired by Moveline stay with your move until final delivery and will even help you file insurance claims if necessary.

These individuals are experienced moving experts and will be your main contact throughout your move from first inventory to the final piece of paperwork. Their role includes finding you the best deal and managing communication between you and the moving company/insurance company/other third parties. Moveline promise that their Move Captains will always be on hand to answer questions or solve problems that arise during the move.

Easy Booking
The cost of each move includes the wrapping and packing of furniture, shipping and unloading. Additional services such as professional packing, storage and the transportation of special items will cost extra but these prices will be clearly outlined before the move. You should receive quotes from a minimum of 3 moving companies and you can compare them in terms of price, feedback score and availability. The move is reserved by entering your credit card information though the money is only taken 2 days before the scheduled move. You approve the final transaction and Moveline keeps all records. Please bear in mind that the prices are set by the companies and not Moveline which merely provides you with estimates.

There is no doubt that Moveline offers a unique moving experience and really takes the hassle out of moving. Having the ability to quickly and easily draw up an inventory and take your pick from a number of available companies is a fantastic option. The fact that companies are rigorously tested also provides you with peace of mind. Although Moveline is young and not yet fully established, it seems only a matter of time before its method of delivery becomes the favored choice of millions of Americans on the move.
