Moving scams have become increasingly common in recent years. One article from Forbes states that over 1,300 moving companies on the Better Business Bureau have been rated “F” due to an overwhelming amount of unresolved complaints. The article goes on to say that, on average, the BBB receives around 13,000 complaints related to moving companies each year.
However, Movers.com says that readers can avoid unscrupulous movers by taking the time to research companies properly. The website’s guide suggests starting with an online search for local movers, as customers will be able to glean important information through company ratings and testimonials. Word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbors, friends, family members, and coworkers are also valuable, especially if they have moved recently.
Once they have located enough moving companies in their area, Movers.com says that customers should narrow down their search to three movers that offer services that best fit their needs. From there, they should contact each company about pricing, insurance, and any extra fees they charge. Movers.com notes that it’s also important to consider a business’ years of operation, experience with specialty items, and employee training.
For pricing, Movers.com advises readers to be wary of movers that offer lower-than-average quotes, as this is often an indication of a moving scam; businesses that employ this tactic are likely to increase their prices unexpectedly on the day of the move. Customers will receive the most accurate estimate from an in-home assessment and should avoid companies that only provide estimates via phone.
Additionally, customers should also verify that the movers they want to hire have the appropriate credentials before going ahead with their move. Readers in Springfield can save time by using Movers.com’s search tool to locate reputable movers in their area. All businesses listed in the online directory are licensed and insured, ensuring customers receive service from a trustworthy company.
