It is no secret that choosing the wrong moving service provider may bring about extremely uncomfortable results. The internet and the media are full of stories about inflated prices, damaged shipments and other complaints. Finding a reputable moving service provider is a must, but how will you know how to sort out the good from the bad? After all, no moving company will admit to being “disreputable”. This is why you, the customer, must check the reputation of the moving company by yourself. This article will present you with some easy and efficient methods for doing that.

Finding Reputable Moving Service Providers

Finding Reputable Moving Service Providers – Basic things that you will need to Check

You’d be surprised to learn how many people schedule moves without actually knowing the address and license numbers of the moving company they are dealing with. Obviously, you need to know the exact location and all licensing information of your moving and relocation company. Furthermore, such information must appear in writing on all correspondences between you and the movers. Make sure the written estimate you receive has all license numbers. Check with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that the information provided you is valid and that there are no standing complaints against the moving and storage company you are considering.

Finding Reputable Moving Service Providers – Additional Things you should Request from your Mover

After making sure you are dealing with a properly licensed moving company, it is time to check feedback from customers. The first place to start with is the Better Business Bureau’s website. The Better Business Bureau registers complaints against businesses, as well as the way in which the companies responded to such complaints. You should also request the moving service provider for some references. Experienced and reputable companies should always have enough references to provide you with.
