HOW TO PREVENT BEING SCAMMED BY MOVE!

Moving can be a stressful and frustrating process, especially if you’re not well-versed in the industry. Unfortunately, it’s also an industry that is ripe with scams and fraud, so it’s important to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself. Here are some tips on how to not get scammed in the moving industry:

1. Research your mover:

Make sure you do a thorough research of your movers before you sign any contracts or make any payments. Check online reviews, ask for references from past customers, and check with the BBB (Better Business Bureau) to ensure that they have a good rating. You should also make sure they are licensed and insured.

2. Get everything in writing:

Make sure that all agreements are put into writing before you sign anything or make any payments. This includes items such as estimated cost, delivery date, services provided and liability coverage amount. Don't assume that verbal agreements will be honored; get them written down!

3. Read the contract carefully:

Before signing a contract with a mover, read through it carefully and ask questions if you don't understand something or need clarification about an issue. Be sure to understand all fees involved in the move so there are no surprises later on down the line.

4. Don’t pay up front:

Legitimate movers will never ask for full payment upfront or in cash; instead they typically require either a deposit or payment upon delivery once everything has been checked off on their list of items moved successfully.

5. Document every item moved:

To ensure that all of your items arrive safely at your new location, it’s important to document each item being moved before beginning the journey - this should include taking pictures of each item, making a detailed list of everything being packed up and noting where each item was placed in your home prior to packing up for moving day.

6. Avoid lowball quotes:

Lowball quotes can often indicate fraudulent activity or non-approved movers who won't provide insurance coverage if anything goes wrong during transit or delivery; always go with an established legitimate mover who provides reliable insurance coverage just in case anything goes wrong during transit or delivery of your items - this way you'll have protection against theft or damages during transport/delivery/setup of your belongings!

In conclusion, moving can be a stressful process but it doesn’t have to be.
