Moving Guide - Choosing a Mover

When choosing a mover make sure their place of business actually exists. Beware of companies who provide no business address on their website, business documents, or a company that is hesitant to provide you with their physical business address. It is important that you know where to track the company down if you have a problem.

Consider visiting the moving company’s office before you make your final choice. You can learn a lot about how your shipment will be treated by visiting the company.

Residential Address: A few movers operate legitimately from a residential address. The important thing is that he actually is located there and not using a fictitious address to make you think he is.

Yellow Pages: Another thing worth checking is if the moving company was listed in last year’s Yellow Pages. You would expect a legitimate new company not to be listed there. But as a matter of precaution, keep in mind that some moving companies had their DOT license revoked. Those companies might try to operate under a new name or the name of another licensed mover.
