Ask the Mover for References
and Actually Call Them


Reputable moving companies will gladly supply you with references so that you can check their service record for performance and delivery. When you have this information, you need to call the references and check the performance of the moving company. Just because a mover says that they have had no damage complaints or other complaints does not mean it is the truth. You should never settle for their word. Check references and follow up with a call to the FMCSA if you are moving out of state. They will have a file on the mover that may include complaints or other issues.

You should ask for references for people that have moved into your area. Contact them and ask them two important questions. You should ask is if the estimate was close to what they were given or were there any additional costs that showed up after the move. This is important when hiring a moving company. The next question to ask is about the time of delivery. Was the delivery on time or was it late. If the delivery was late, ask why the company was late. It may have been due to inclement weather, which cannot be helped. If the reason was vague, you might want to consider a different mover.

You might also ask if the property was delivered intact with no damage. Some minor damage may not indicate a poor service, but in some cases, poor packing and transportation can result in more damage than what can be expected. You might even ask if the movers were polite or were they rude. It is always a good idea to know how others felt about their experiences with a mover. If you talk to three references and they all had the same thing to say, you can usually judge from that.
