This is why some careful research needs to be conducted before actually selecting a mover. This Alpha Moving and Storage article offers some basic guidelines for conducting such research.

Researching the Best Moving Companies for Long Distance Moving – What to Look For

Obviously, you can’t simply ask the moving company, whether or not it is reputable. All movers will claim to be reputable, experienced and knowledgeable. It is up to the customer to verify that information. Start with the Better Business Bureau. The BBB should have a listing for every mover you might be considering. Check and make sure that the mover has addressed complaints and tried to successfully resolve them.

Ask the movers to provide you will all relevant licensing information. Check the license numbers to make sure everything is in order and there are no standing complaints against the company.

Ask the moving company to provide you with references from customers in your area. An experienced moving company shouldn’t have a problem with providing you references. As mentioned above, you should ask the mover to provide you with all relevant license numbers. With most reputable companies, the license numbers will appear on the paperwork handed to you, including the moving estimate.

    My husband and I have used Alpha for two moves—once from Manhattan to Jersey City and more recently from Jersey City to the Jersey Shore.
    The first move
    … More was during Covid, but Alpha was super diligent and professional. The second move was on an incredibly hot and humid day, and our movers still worked so hard and fast.
    For our second move, we also had to put our items in storage for a few weeks. Alpha made this super easy and had a thorough system for taking inventory of all our furniture and boxes.
    I can't say enough about how great Alpha is. We would use them again and recommend them to anyone. Their office employees are very responsive and helpful, and the movers are extremely skilled and professional.
    I've also found their prices to be much more reasonable than other companies in the area.
