1. Make sure that the driver and relocation crew sent by the moving company is aware of the Los Angeles neighborhood and its traffic laws. It is a big city; it has a total area of 498.3 square miles which is divided into 10 neighborhoods. An extensive knowledge of this city is important to avoid moving hiccups.

3. Make sure your stuffs are sent using a truck that has GPS connected to it. This will help you in tracking the location of the vehicle, and it will help the driver in pinpointing the location the truck has to go. It is necessary because Angelenos (resident of Los Angeles) are not very famous for stopping to tell direction.
4. Seeking recommendation from friends or friends of friends living in Los Angeles on this particular issue is as valuable as recommendations on which movie to watch, or which book to read. People living in Los Angeles will any day have better idea about the local moving services than people living outside of LA.
5. Do not depend upon just one mover. Prepare a contingency plan, and keep 2 or 3 LA movers in loop; things may go wrong at the eleventh hour.
6. Ask for the insurance coverage in case anything gets broken. Go with the one that offers maximum coverage at minimum effort, in case of damage.
7. Check if the crew member knows Spanish or not. More often than not, they will bump into Spanish speaking individuals in the city; even most of the printed materials and signboards are written in Spanish, in fact they are bilingual. The knowledge will help them reach your new place.
