Finding a Trustworthy Moving Company

July 5, 2021

Moving is a stressful occasion whether you're moving a mile across town or clear across the country. After all, you're trusting virtually all of your belongings to strangers for the journey. So, how do you find a trustworthy moving company? Let's start with what to avoid.

Things to Watch Out for When Hiring a Moving Company

Be on the lookout for these indicators of fraud when you hire a moving company.

They answer the phone with a generic "moving company" instead of an actual company name.
Their website doesn't list an address or local phone number.
They refuse to provide an on-site estimate.
They require a large booking deposit.
They claim your goods are covered by insurance but don't provide a certificate of insurance to prove it.
They show up with a rental truck instead of a branded company vehicle.

How to Find a Moving Company You Can Trust

A really great moving company treats both you and your belongings with respect. The company's employees realize that these aren't just random boxes or pieces of furniture- they're your most prized possessions! Professional movers will act accordingly.

Look for a company that offers a comprehensive range of services at fair prices. Those services might include packing supplies and services, both local and long-distance moving, and even storage options. If they have reviews from happy customers for each of the services they offer, you'll know you've found a gem!

The Benefits of Hiring a Reliable, Trustworthy Moving Company

When you hire a moving company you can trust, you'll know your belongings are in caring, capable hands. Trustworthy movers are honest, respectful, patient, and knowledgeable. They look and act like the professionals you want to handle your valued possessions. They also act with integrity in every aspect of their moving business.
