        About Moving Companies



        Consumer complaints against moving companies have been rising. Listed below are some tips that can
        help your move go smoothly:

              Get a binding estimate from the moving company. Make sure they amount is written in the
               contract.
              Inquire about their on-time record and other complaints with the local Better  Business Bureau or
               consumer complaints department.
              Movers are limited by law regarding what they can give you for lost or damaged goods. To cover
               potential damage, check existing homeowners or renter’s policy.
              Ask about expected gratuities and write into contract.
              Have the contract include a guarantee of how many hours the job will take, allowing an overrun of
               no more than 10%.
              Be sure all charges are listed in the contract.
              Inform the moving company of how many stairs are at your new home.
              Watch loading and unloading and examine all items carefully before signing receipt.
              Document an inventory of your belongings before you pack.
