How to Get More Quotes for Your Move

When posting a job on AnyVan, here are a couple of things you can do to help you receive more quotes:

Details

Providing as much detail as possible gives transport providers a clearer idea of exactly what it is you’re moving. In turn this will help them ascertain whether they have the correct vehicle to complete your job.

Entering details, such as dimensions and weight, will be a great help to providers such man and van companies. If they’re able to fit your item in, as part of a part load, this will enable you to receive much cheaper quotes.

The same can be said for house moves. When listing your removal job, filling out the inventory will increase the amount of quotes you receive. When you fill out the inventory, we will automatically calculate the estimated cubic measurements of your move. Based on this, removal companies will be able to quote more accurately based on the vehicle they need for the move.

Pictures

As well as providing more detail, uploading pictures with your listing will increase the amount of quotes you receive. Pictures also help transporters quote more accurately, as they can see exactly what the item is. You can upload pictures whilst completing your listing, or after it’s been posted.

If you’re looking to get quotes for an Ebay item, entering the item ID auto populates the items’ details, including any pictures attached – saving you time.

Flexibility

As transport providers are always updating and adding to their existing routes, flexibility with dates is another way to receive more quotes. If a transport provider sees your flexible listing, they may be able to pick up your items as part of a route they’re already taking. Additionally, date flexibility may also encourage cheaper quotes. 

Inviting Companies

Finally, inviting companies to quote on your listing will help to increase the number of quotes you receive. This is due to the fact that you are making it more visible to companies who may not have previously seen it.
