No matter in which part of Los Angeles (LA) you are going to move to, a good Los Angeles moving company will always be there to safely transport your goods as well as to pack and unpack them. A good moving company will always be there in LA, no matter how many bad LA movers mushrooms in the city.
How do you tell if the LA mover you are hiring is good or bad? It is simple to tell, if you know what to look for. There are some attributes that all good LA movers share and which are missing from bad ones. You need to look for the following attributes in a LA mover while discussing your requirement with him. This will save you from falling prey to scammers. I must warn you beforehand that LA moving scams are rising in LA neighborhood, so you need to be careful.
Things to look for in a LA mover
- Are you being offered the unbelievably cheap deal? Well do not get surprised if I say this is one of the main indicators of a scammer. A LA moving scammer will offer you any deal that you asked for because he has to trap you, and as it is he is not going to honor the deal. Always remember there is a certain minimum price for everything, and anyone offering you a price lower than the minimum the industry is a scammer. Deal hunting is good, but it may lead you to the glossy door of moving swindlers.
- Agreeing on anything. This is another sign of a scam moving company. The person on the other side of the table will invariably agree to whatever you say. He will try to win your confidence by agreeing to even your unreasonable demands, which by the way you don’t know are unreasonable. What is the harm in agreeing to everything, if there is no intention of working on any of them?
- Bad reviews. If the Los Angeles moving company you are dealing with has loads of bad reviews littered on the Internet then beware, you are in for a trouble. Having said that I must tell you that you must apply your own sense of judgment and read between the lines of good as well as bad reviews written about an LA mover on the internet. People get paid to generate good or even bad reviews.
All this is so good, so insightful, and so telling, but where should I live in Los Angeles?
Well, this is a valid question, which you need to answer before you take any of the measures suggested above. If you do not know where to live in LA then how “which LA movers you choose” is not going to matter even a bit? So, let’s figure out that part as well.
The city of Angels, as LA is known as, is straggled in 498.3 square miles area, of which land encompasses 469.1 square miles, and the rest 29.2 square miles is water. The city is divided into several neighborhoods. They are: The Eastside, Downtown LA, Northeast LA, the Harbor Area, Hollywood, South LA (or South Central as called by the locals), the Westside and the San Fernando, Wilshire, and Crescenta Valleys.
You can choose to live in any part of the city, as each one of them is as exciting as you can expect it to be. If you want, you can ask permission to be part of any of the LA’s famous communities; of which Baldwin Hills, Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Brentwood, Century City, Downtown Financial District, Hancock Park, Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, Koreatown, Leimert Park, Los Feliz, Pacific Palisades, Silver Lake, Venice Beach, Watts, Westwood, and West Adams are the most famous. Living in some of the above discussed communities is quite expensive, while, living in others goes easy on the pocket. And as usual, it all depends upon how deep your pocket it.
By coming this far, you have not only educated yourself about the City of Angels, but you have also learnt ways to pick out a reliable Los Angeles moving company from the ruck of not-so trustworthy LA movers.
