BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU RECORD
Check with the Better Business Bureau if the moving company has more than a few unresolved complains filed against them. Local Better Business Bureau offices keep records on companies registered in the state. Moving company that has more then few unresolved complaints should be avoided.
Remember – even responsible moving companies may have a few complaints, because the more moves they handle the higher is the chance something will go wrong. But their record with the Better Business Bureau should show that they have a satisfactory rating and that they respond to and resolve complaints.
Ask if the company is a member of the state moving and storage association in the state in which they are based or a member of the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA). A reputable company should be a member of one or the other.
We are proud members of both.
SALES PERSONNEL
A universal advice: never listen to sales personnel who tell stories. A high-quality moving company with a good reputation doesn’t need to knock the competition, or to criticize other moving companies in an attempt to make itself look better.Be wary of high-pressure tactics from telemarketers. This could be a ploy simply to get a sales person into your home to give you an estimate. Be careful, do research and decide who to invite into your home, based on references. Always remember that the price of the moving estimate should never be the deciding factor. The reputation of the moving company goes a long way.
Also, if you would like an in home estimate, and the moving company is not willing to come out for free, hang up and find another mover.
In addition, you should be able to meet or talk to the owner of the company. If you can talk to the owner of the business, even if only by phone, you will be able to develop a feeling of confidence that he is experienced and capable enough to assure a professional move.
We are proud members of both.
Place of business
When choosing a mover make sure their place of business actually exists. Beware of companies who provide no business address on their website, business documents, or a company that is hesitant to provide you with their physical business address. It is important that you know where to track the company down if you have a problem.
Consider visiting the moving company’s office before you make your final choice. You can learn a lot about how your shipment will be treated by visiting the company.
It is very important to make sure that they have their own trucks and the employees for them, many movers subcontract the moves and the quality can never be assured. Make sure they are not a broker.
Residential address
A few movers operate legitimately from a residential address. The important thing is that he actually is located there and not using a fictitious address to make you think he is.
Yellow Pages
Another thing worth checking is if the moving company was listed in last year’s Yellow Pages. You would expect a legitimate new company not to be listed there. But as a matter of precaution, keep in mind that some moving companies had their DOT license revoked. Those companies might try to operate under a new name or the name of another licensed mover.
Internet Listing
the process is a little different. Of course, you can simply search for “movers.” But be a little careful. A company with one truck can look as impressive on the web as a national carrier with fleets of trailers. While you’re on a mover’s website, look for testimonials, a list of clients, and any other information about their experience and credentials.When choosing a mover make sure their place of business actually exists.

Important documents
The Order for Service protects you by spelling out the agreement between you and your mover regarding the dates the shipment will be loaded and delivered, the estimated cost, and (if you are moving to a different state) the fact that the mover can only collect 110% of the estimate at the time of delivery.
Prior to the move date, insist on an in-home visual inspection of the goods you are moving. Accurate estimates can seldom be provided over the telephone. Remember: estimates given over the phone in most cases will be lower then the actual cost of your move.
t all starts with a phone call or an inquiry online. Our estimators are trained and certified. They are available 7 days a week to help you determine your needs – at no cost or obligation to you. And they will also assist you with any problems that arise before, during and after your move. You are not alone in this process. We are with you – every step of the way.
If you are moving interstate, you should read and understand all of the information you will receive. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. In addition to brochures explaining their various services, moving companies should give you a copy of a consumer booklet entitled Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move and information regarding the mover’s participation in a Dispute Settlement Program. In addition, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) mandates distribution of the consumer booklet, as well as the requirement that movers offer shippers neutral arbitration as a means of settling disputes that may arise concerning loss or damage on household goods shipments.
