Better Business Bureau TIPS When Selecting A Moving Company

Review the information on protectyourmove.gov and link to the following:
1. "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move"
2. Sub Part D - Binding & Non-Binding Estimate
3. Read the agreement, including the FINE PRINT, even if it takes additional time! Don't allow you and your belongings to be “HELD HOSTAGE” because you did not understand the agreement before signing it. You are not obligated to engage the moving company until you sign the agreement - even if the company is on your doorstep waiting to load.
*REMEMBER – VERBAL COMMITMENTS AND PROMISES VERY OFTEN ARE NOT KEPT. VERBAL PROMISES MEAN NOTHING!

Consumers should do their "DUE DILIGENCE” when engaging the services of any provider. The following are “BUYER BEWARE” flags:
1. Do not withhold information on the service to be performed to obtain a lower estimated price.
2. Itemize the items to be moved
3. Do not book the move over the telephone
4. Beware of “REVISED ESTIMATES” from the company on the day of the move
5. Most major van lines do not require deposits, or partial payments prior to loading items to be moved
6. Buy the MAXIMUM INSURANCE POSSIBLE - Protect yourself and your belongings. Household (homeowner's insurance does not cover incidential damage in a move.
7. If moving interstate, mover can not charge an hourly rate. Interstate moving is regulated by the Department of Transportation.
