How to Steer Clear Of Moving Scams When preparing to move house you need to know how to find the right moving company for you. In order to find that moving company you need to do your research, how do you know what moving company will be the right one for our family? How do you know if they will respect you and your property, are they just out to scam you out of your money and belongings? Hopefully we can give you the tools and information you need to help you feel at ease with the moving company you choose. First things first, do your online research, get recommendations, make phone calls and ask questions. Do not just find out who is available and who will be the cheapest, just the same, don't make the mistake of thinking the more expensive guys are the ones to trust. This is a common mistake, just because they charge more does not mean they are more trust worthy. Some clues the company you are looking into are not a kosher one are they don't insist on a walk through first to decide an estimate, how can someone move you without knowing what they are moving? Demanding deposits or expected pay when booking, this is a 'No-No', I mean come on, moving companies are typically a 'Pay-OnDelivery' type company. Another big one, 'Hidden Fees', I mean for everything, hidden fees for extra walking, for stairs, for assembly, the list can go on. If you start noticing 'Hidden Fees' I am sorry to tell you, but you chose the wrong company, so Moove on! Now comes the contract, read your contract, you might be surprised to find companies with quite empty contracts, sometimes they will try and get away with not listing all your belongings, they skip the estimate on there or pickup and delivery dates. How do you know what they will be delivering to you, when you will be receiving it and how much it will cost if the contract doesn't give you the information?? Also, when agreeing on a contract, be sure to speak to the representative about what happens in the case of over booking, busy months or even the chance someone falls sick, who will be taking care of your move then?

That's right, how about this problem some movers have, during the busy moving months some moving companies get so busy that they ask other moving companies to help out. Great, everyone needs help sometimes and it's nice to know they know to


ask for help, but did they ask you how you felt about it? Have they given you the chance to find out about this company, how the company you book with knows if the client will be ok with a move like this. One last thing, before you book your moving company call your insurance company and see what they can do for you. Maybe they can cover any mishaps with moving, maybe not, also be sure to ask about what kind of insurance your moving company has. If they do happen to break something how much replacement costs will you get back, and how long do you have to put in the claim? Choosing a moving company is a big deal, they are moving everything you own and you want to be sure it gets to your new location safely. Take the time and ask the right questions.
