How to Choose a Moving Company in 7 Simple Steps

by | Aug 31, 2022 | Features

Choosing the right moving company is important. You’re entrusting the entire contents of your house to a stranger, and that is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Not to mention that moving is already stressful enough; you don’t need dealing with broken stuff on top of that. Start by getting referrals – ask your friends, family and colleagues who’d they recommend. Get estimates and avoid companies who are too eager to get your cash upfront. Verify their license on protectyourmove.gov, search for companies approved by the American Moving and Storage Association at Moving.org, and check with the Better Business Bureau.

Key Takeaways:

  • Get referrals from others, then get quotes from at least three moving companies.
  • Common moving scams involving holding belongings hostage and tacking on made-up charges.
  • Some questions to ask movers relate to licensing, additional charges, cancellation policies, and the use subcontractors.

“Make sure the moving company’s address is listed and registered under the company names. Be wary of any address listed under a residential name.”
