I’ve given alot of advice in these blogs… Choosing the right Atlanta mover is the key to having a successful move. Let’s keep this short and sweet. Almost 50% of the local moving companies in Atlanta are not licensed. THAT IS A STATE REQUIREMENT! That means you have almost a 50% chance of getting a local Atlanta mover that is able to charge you what they want – and overcharge you. You may not even be able to contact them after your move…

Make your move simple – call All My Sons Moving and Storage of Atlanta. You no longer have to worry about your move – that’s our job!

So the holidays are right around the corner… You want to move and get settled into your new home or apartment before the holidays get here! Here are some helpful tips that will help make the transition into your new home an easy one!

Don’t be afraid to check on the Atlanta mover that you choose! Roughly 47% of the in-state movers don’t have the required state license! It is required, and yet some companies thing they can operate outside of the rules.

You can pack your belongings yourself – or leave that in the hands of the company that is moving you!

Ask the company that you are moving with if there are items that you need to move yourself.

Ask questions about Atlanta mover you are thinking about moving with – if they don’t want to answer your questions, there is a reason.

Check out the Atlanta mover on the Better Business Bureau – ask the companies you are looking to move with how many moves they do.

When you’re looking for moving company to move your belongings and pretty much move your entire life, it’s important to know about the company itself. The background of a company tells you a lot about it. We are the Atlanta moving company that is more than happy to share our experienced background!

A reputable company should ask you questions about your move, such as: “Do you have any items that require special attention?” or ”How many rooms do you have?” If you tell a moving company that you need to move and all they do is quote a number, you should expect several additional charges to pop up before your move is over. 

If you have a baby grand piano or a grand piano, it’s important to tell the moving company as soon as possible - this way, you know that you’ve got the right amount of men that need to be on that move. And it’s important to be the kind of moving company that can not only handle various sizes of moves; from a one-bedroom apartment to an 8000sq.ft. house.

Here at All My Sons of Atlanta we take care of our customers whether it’s a small move or it’s a large move – we can handle it!

So here we are coming to the close of another wonderful summer! We’ve done plenty of moves and made plenty of people happy! The reason we are your favorite Atlanta mover is quite simple.

I understand moving is a stressful time in Atlanta, and the way moving companies price their moves may be confusing. Furthermore, deciding who will be the mover of your family’s personal possessions and whom you invite into your home isn’t a simple task either.

Thanks to the American Moving & Storage Association of America they have come up with a program to help you decide who is best for you. This program is called the AMSA Certified Mover and Van Line Program. Here is how it works:

The AMSA Certified Mover and Van Line Program is a voluntary program for movers who elect to participate by committing to provide a professional level of service, together with efficient complaint handling and dispute resolution services for their customers. It is ope to all AMSA members. AMSA Certified Movers and Van Lines are held to a high standard of performance as agreed to in the AMSA Code of Conduct.

Program Benefits

The AMSA certification program protects the public by providing an identifiable measure of competency, while aiding the moving industry by encouraging and recognizing high professional achievement. It also puts a strong emphasis on the value of a professional move and sends a positive message to potential customers, Federal and State political leaders and consumer groups.

Through self-regulation, the AMSA Certified Mover and Van Line Program serves to:
• Improve the professionalism of industry employees.
• Furnish a means of distinguishing consumer-oriented companies.
• Assist companies in enforcing get-tough quality control policies.
• Be an impetus to improve internal industry training programs.
• Aid in recruiting better employees and contractors.
• Ensure just and reasonable practices and rates.
• Reduce claims and legal expenses.
• Help to avoid unnecessary government regulatory burdens.
• Provide a valuable marketing tool for participants.
• Encourage growth in AMSA membership.

The Certified Mover and Van Line Program helps to protect the public by providing an identifiable measure of quality while, at the same time, enhancing the moving industry by encouraging and recognizing high professional achievement. Under the voluntary program, movers are required to observe a professional code of conduct and to provide service to their private transferee (C.O.D.) and, as an option, their corporate customers, in a manner that promotes confidence in the interstate household goods moving and storage industry. A certificate and a special seal that may be used in their advertisements identifies certified movers and certified van lines.

Listed below are several questions you should answer prior to committing to a moving company. If you answer “NO” to any of these questions, your mover is not in compliance with Federal Regulations.

1) Are they licensed and insured?
2) Do they have their tariff filed and available to be viewed in their main office upon your request?
3) Do they have an Arbitration Program available?
4) Did they provide you with a copy of OCE-100 Your Rights and Responsibilities booklet?
5) Did they provide you with a copy of their household goods dispute settlement program?
6) Did they provide you with a copy of their complaint and inquiry handling procedure?
7) Did they provide you with a high value and valuation information sheet? Did they provide you with a Ready to Move brochure?
By choosing an AMSA Certified mover you are guaranteeing yourself a successful move and should something go wrong the mover is most likely going to take extra care of you so that they can keep their certification..

Here it is summertime again and I know you’ve got plenty of things on your mind – what to do with the kids during the summer, the cost of gasoline, the heat, etc. The last thing you should have to worry about is your move. I’ve decided to share with you some of the comments from our customers so that you can see how great of a mover we are.

This one is from Al D. he said he was contacted us by the phone we were very nice and happy to work with him. When asked what made him decide to use All My Sons he responded, “Friends next door used you, what great care was taken with their stuff.” He loved that our movers were, “Very prepared, ready to start, and moved throughout home swiftly.” He felt as though the move went, “Very good.” and the movers were, “A great crew.”When Al was asked how could all of my sons have major move better? His response was, “If they had keys to both houses I could have been in Hawaii!”

This one is from Brad B. and Selina B. – when describing their first contact with All My Sons their response was, “Over the phone, very nice and knowledgeable about pricing” “They helped me decide on the number of people and hours that would meet our needs.” They felt as though our men were, “Very prepared they moved quickly and efficiently.” “They wrapped everything quickly and carefully, they’re very hard workers and did a great job.” When asked what could be done to make their move better their response was, “Nothing!” “They were great I will definitely contact them again.”

Katrina C. chose All My Sons because, “Customer service was excellent” the reason she chose All My Sons is because of the, “Customer service, price, and reputation. She felt as though the crew was, “Very prepared and started immediately.” Katrina also said the crew was, “very hard workers, I couldn’t have done it without them!”

So here it is the night before Father’s Day I’m thinking back to old memories of family and friends – and spending holidays together. To any fathers that are reading this Happy Father’s Day !

Drum Corps International - Also known as DCI - is coming to town! For those that haven’t gone to this event – you must! I know – you think that this is an event for band geeks – but it is amazing to see the formations and the show that they put on!
You’ll see a lot of great folks and have a lot of fun… It is like a trip down memory lane for me… It reminds me of going there when I was a little kid. It also brings back other memories, memories of fishing and going for drives…

It also brought back some of those not so fond memories – like having to move. I remember moving as a child, the hot summer sun beating down on us, Dad being upset, yelling, the headaches, and all the body aches.

The funny thing is the last time I moved I didn’t even have to do it myself. I used an Atlanta mover. I know – I know it seems like each cheating – but now I never want to move myself again. I used All My Sons Moving and Storage. The guys came out, they wrapped up my wooden furniture, and I didn’t even have to unpack my dressers! They disassembled my bed; they even reassembled it, and put everything where I wanted it to go! Now I never want to have to move myself again! Looking back I wish dad would have used this Atlanta mover…

From your favorite Atlanta movers, Happy Father’s Day!
