  3. What are your payment terms and conditions? Ask about the deposit or down payment required before the move, as well as any possible refund policies in case of cancellation or changes to the move.
  4. How will my items be packed? Make sure to ask how your belongings will be handled and what type of materials (if any) the company uses for packing and wrapping.
  5. What kind of insurance do you offer? Moving companies typically provide some form of coverage for lost or damaged items, so make sure to inquire about the specific details of their insurance policy.
