How to flag a bad mover

Unfortunately, bad movers continue to operate due to a lack of thorough research. People often trust that they found an affordable moving company based on a good phone conversation, only to be unpleasantly surprised on moving day. Here are some tips to help you select a good moving company. We are 100% confident that after your research, you will like working with our company.

Licensed, Bonded, and Insured:  

Verify the moving company credentials, including their DOT number, to ensure they are licensed, bonded, and insured. This protects you and your belongings during the move. Click here to verify our company and search other movers as well for complaints: FMCSA 

Complaint History and Claims:

Research the company complaint history and the types of claims they’ve settled. Look for patterns and assess their reliability.

BBB Accreditation and Reviews: 

Check if the company is BBB accredited and has an A+ rating. Read reviews and evaluate their responsiveness and professionalism. Click here to verify or profile and check other movers: BBB    

Visual Estimate for Accuracy:

Consider a video call or in-home estimate for an accurate quote. Share videos or pictures of items you want to move.    

Binding Estimate vs. Order for Service:

Request a “Binding Estimate” rather than an “Order for Service.” This ensures a fixed price for your move. Providing a list does not guarantee a price. Request an on-site visit, a video call or submit pictures. When comparing estimates check the cubic feet  that the representative is estimating.
