Finding a moving company should be approached with the same care as buying a car or a house. Taking the time to verify that the company you choose is legitimate can save you a lot of headaches down the line.<br><br>We\u2019ll explore ways to spot a scam, but we\u2019ll also focus on identifying unreliable labor-only moving companies. These are companies that handle loading and unloading storage units, moving trucks, and similar tasks. These are not the companies that transport goods from one location to another.<br><br>Here are some red flags to look out for when researching a potential moving company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-go-to-their-website\">Go To Their Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s digital age, having a website is essential for any business looking to establish credibility with its customers. Does the moving company you\u2019re considering have a website? If not, this should cause you to raise your eyebrows.<br><br>If they do have a website, take a moment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/edge\/learning-center\/how-to-tell-if-a-site-is-credible?form=MA13I2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">evaluate it<\/a>. Is it well-designed? What kind of information is available? This initial assessment can help you decide whether to investigate the company further. If the website feels sparse or lacks important details, it\u2019s probably best to keep looking to avoid any potential scams.<br><br>Additionally, look for a contact phone number. A reputable business with nothing to hide will be happy to help and answer any questions you may have, so don\u2019t hesitate to call. Asking questions to make sure you know what you\u2019re getting into is a way to protect your money, your belongings, and your future sanity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-moving-estimates\"> Moving Estimates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some disreputable companies might try to provide estimates to you over the phone or online, raising a red flag. How can a moving company accurately price your move without seeing your belongings in person?\u00a0<br><br>While reputable movers typically want to evaluate your items directly, it\u2019s worth noting that plenty of legitimate moving companies might skip in-person estimates to keep overhead costs down. Some companies may include <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/move-estimate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moving estimate calculators<\/a> that can help you gauge what you can expect to spend.<br><br>That said, it\u2019s important to be discerning. A lack of in-person estimates can be a sign of a potential moving scam, but it doesn\u2019t always indicate one. When considering a moving company that doesn\u2019t offer an in-home appraisal, be sure to research their reputation and reviews. Trust your instincts, and remember that a thorough assessment &#8211; whether in person or through detailed questions &#8211; can help you identify bad moving companies.<br><br>If you\u2019ve called a moving company and received a quote that seems too good to be true, take a moment to reconsider. It could be a sign of a moving scam. Some unreliable movers lower their prices to attract more business, but this often comes at the cost of quality service.<br><br>To protect yourself (and your wallet), consider getting multiple estimates before deciding. This will give you a clearer picture of what to expect and help you avoid potential pitfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-proper-insurance-information\">Proper Insurance Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring that your moving company offers the right insurance coverage is crucial. Moving puts your possessions at risk of damage and theft, so having a moving insurance policy can help reimburse you for any mishaps during the process.<br><br>By law, moving companies must assume liability for the items they transport, but the specifics of that liability can vary. As a client, you should feel free to ask for proof of insurance and any additional materials that explain their policies.<br><br>If a company reacts negatively or is reluctant to provide insurance details, that\u2019s a significant red flag. A trustworthy company should be transparent about its coverage options.<br><br>When you hire movers, they are generally liable for the items you entrust to them. If you&#8217;re moving across state lines, federal law requires that moving companies offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/homeowners-insurance\/moving-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two types of coverage<\/a>, and the choice you make will determine how much you are reimbursed if any of your items are lost or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/moving-truck-with-scam-alert.jpg\" alt=\"A moving truck with &quot;Scam Alert&quot; written on the side\" class=\"wp-image-19359\" style=\"width:904px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/moving-truck-with-scam-alert.jpg 800w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/moving-truck-with-scam-alert-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/08\/moving-truck-with-scam-alert-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full Value Protection (FVP):<\/strong> This option holds your mover liable for the total replacement value of your lost or damaged possessions. If something goes wrong during the move, your mover can either repair the item, replace it, or provide a cash settlement based on the repair costs or current replacement value. While this coverage is more comprehensive, it typically comes at a higher price, which can vary depending on the mover and the deductible you choose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Released Value Protection (RVP):<\/strong> Offered at no extra cost, this option provides minimal coverage. You\u2019ll receive up to 60 cents per pound for any damaged or lost items. For example, if a valuable item worth $600 that only weighs 5 pounds is lost or damaged, you would only receive $3 (60 cents multiplied by 5 pounds).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some movers offer additional liability coverage through third-party insurance providers for an extra charge. While your mover is still responsible for released value protection, this additional policy can cover losses beyond that limit, up to the specified policy limits.<br><br>If you opt for extra moving insurance, whether through the movers or a third-party provider, be sure to get the coverage details in writing. Understanding what is included and excluded in the policy will help protect your belongings during the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-red-flags-of-bad-moving-companies\">Other Red Flags Of Bad Moving Companies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While we\u2019ve covered a few signs to look for to identify bad moving companies and moving scams, there are a few more important considerations to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"813\" src=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/09\/shattered-plate-1024x813.jpg\" alt=\"Broken dishes on the floor\" class=\"wp-image-5391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/09\/shattered-plate-1024x813.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/09\/shattered-plate-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/09\/shattered-plate-768x610.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/09\/shattered-plate-1536x1219.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/09\/shattered-plate-2048x1625.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Limited Payment Options:<\/strong> A reputable moving company should accept various forms of payment, including credit cards, debit cards, or checks. Some legitimate companies will accept cash, but it can be hard to tell if they\u2019re reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/when-should-you-pay-your-movers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">until it\u2019s too late<\/a>. Moving companies that ONLY accept cash are likely scams. Keep in mind that if your movers went above and beyond and you\u2019d like to <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/do-i-need-to-tip-my-moving-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tip them<\/a>, they usually prefer this to be handled in cash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slow or Unresponsive Communication: <\/strong>If you find it difficult or impossible to get in touch with your moving company, that\u2019s concerning. Good communication is key in any service, and lack of responsiveness is a warning sign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incomplete or Blank Contract Documents:<\/strong> Never sign a contract that has little to no information. If a mover asks you to sign incomplete documents, walk away! Always read the contract carefully to avoid unexpected loopholes or conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By staying vigilant and trusting your instincts, you can better protect yourself during the moving process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recognizing-unreliable-transport-companies\">Recognizing Unreliable Transport Companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previous section, we covered how to assess the trustworthiness of labor-only moving companies. Now, let\u2019s focus on how to determine if a full-service moving company is reputable.<br><br>You might be wondering: what exactly is a full-service moving company? These are the businesses you hire to move your belongings &#8211; like furniture &#8211; from one place to another in their vehicles. In contrast, labor-only moving<em> <\/em>companies only handle the loading and unloading of items.<br><br>Let\u2019s dive into how to evaluate transport moving companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-licensing-information\">Licensing Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal law requires interstate movers to be registered and licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). You can easily verify a company\u2019s licensing status on the <a href=\"https:\/\/safer.fmcsa.dot.gov\/CompanySnapshot.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FMCSA\u2019s website<\/a>. All licensed interstate moving companies have a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number as proof of legitimacy. If you find that a moving company lacks proper licensing, it\u2019s best to avoid them entirely.<br><br>For local moving companies that don\u2019t operate outside of state lines, FMCSA licensing and registration are not necessary. Instead, state rules and laws govern those companies. If you\u2019re working with a local mover, don\u2019t hesitate to ask about their licensing status &#8211; any reputable company will be happy to provide this information.<br><br>If a moving company fails to provide licensing or registration information (whether local or interstate), steer clear! <strong>Also, keep in mind that labor-only movers are not required to have licensing or registration.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-from-others\">Tips From Others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-790d9e83 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/10\/stressed-mover-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Stressed woman surrounded by boxes following moving scam\" class=\"uag-image-20190\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"stressed-mover\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We reached out to people who had bad moving experiences for some wisdom.

Bailey offered the example of a client trying to move granite countertops. Granite requires greater care, but the client chose to stay with the already-hired moving company.<br><br>As you might have suspected, these granite countertops were scuffed and the client was left unhappy. Bailey said that a moving company is unlikely to turn down a job if it offers money, so do extra research on <a href=\"https:\/\/unimovers.com\/blog\/hiring-a-moving-company-what-type-of-movers-are-right-for-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what your move might require<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pay-the-extra-money\">Pay the Extra Money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another respondent, Chaz Wyland, said, \u201cI figured [moving] wasn\u2019t a difficult job, so why should I pay a lot of money for the well-known business?\u201d<br><br>Unfortunately, his valuables and fragile items ended up broken without a care.
