Many customers make the mistake of checking only the bottom line price that various moving service providers offer them, without thoroughly checking their reputation. Unfortunately, numerous shady businesses intentionally lower their estimates to lure potential customers, then find various excuses to inflate them on the day of the move. This Alpha Moving and Storage article will show you how to avoid such an uncomfortable situation by checking the reputations of all movers you are considering.
Checking Licensing Information
The best way to check your potential mover’s licensing information is to ask for the license numbers, then go to the US Department of Transportation and The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s websites. Make sure that the company you are considering is in good standing and has no open complaints of violations.
The Better Business Bureau
The Better Business Bureau should be able to give you a fairly accurate idea about the reputation of the mover you are considering. It is important to check not only the reputation of the moving company, but also the way it responds to complaints. A reputable company will always strive to resolve complaints. If you see that the company you are considering has a lot of unresolved complaints, this is normally a sign that you should steer clear of it.
Asking for References
References are important and you should definitely ask your potential mover for them. Reputable companies who have been conducting local and long distance moving for many years should have plenty of references to provide you with. Call or email a few of the references you receive and ask them to tell you about their experience with your potential mover.
