We are getting into moving season, and if you’re like most people, you don’t hire a mover too often.You are giving people your stuff and you want to make sure it arrives at the destination safely.So, the BBB has some tips for finding a reliable moving company.First, do your research.Look up companies on BBB.org.You can also check the American Moving and Storage Association.Note the length of time a company has been in business and read reviews from previous customers. Second, verify credentials.
Ask for proof of licenses, insurance, and affiliations with reputable industry organizations. In the United States, certified movers will be registered with the federal government and have a U.S. Department of Transportation number, which you can verify by going to the DOT website. Also, find out if employees go through background checks.Third, get the estimate in writing.Obtain at least three written estimates from different movers, preferably based on visits to your home.
