Finding quality movers is easier said than done – and just because a company has 5-star reviews doesn’t automatically mean it offers a 5-star service. “How To Hire Quality Movers?” by Movers.com helps you make an informed choice.
Recent years have seen growing concerns over moving scams - the most common of them being movers overcharging or downright stealing valuables from customers, then rebranding and opening a new company.
Movers.com offers essential resources to empower homeowners to make informed decisions when choosing which movers to work with.
The guide covers topics ranging from various types of moving services to what credentials to look for, offering a comprehensive guide to help you find reliable, cost-effective companies and avoid potential scams.
Since the dupe-and-rebrand scam is so common, the guide dedicates a section to moving companies with name changes.
You should rule out companies that go through rebranding - they may have done that due to a history of negative customer experiences.
“If you have identified that a moving company has changed its name, you can consider it as a red flag,” explains the report. “In general, no moving company with a good reputation would consider changing their names.”
Online reviews are essential as they give you an overview of what you can expect when working with a particular mover. Google searches are a useful starting point, and Movers.com also recommends using Yelp or Angie’s List to look for feedback from previous customers.
Depending on the type of move you need - from full-service moves that include packing and unpacking, to carry-only movers - you should ask moving companies for a breakdown of all the fees and charges applicable.
Getting estimates from multiple movers is important to ensure cost efficiency - and will also give you an idea of how fast the company responds to queries.
In addition to comprehensive guides on topics ranging from finding local and interstate movers to state-specific tips, Movers.com also provides directories with pre-screened, licensed and certified movers.
