A mov<strong>in</strong>g company needs to be a team with a staff. Some mov<strong>in</strong>g companies<br />

are brokers who tell people they know to masquerade as a mov<strong>in</strong>g company.<br />

Some of them even have official websites. However, they only do this to sell<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation. If you get an estimate that is too good to be true, it usually is. Ask<br />

this question if you get an unusually low price.<br />

Does the mover have authority?<br />

Mov<strong>in</strong>g companies must be licensed because they are <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>terest of<br />

transport<strong>in</strong>g items cross-country. This is a federal requirement and should be<br />

How does the mover charge for their services?<br />

Ask about m<strong>in</strong>imum charges and additional fees when choos<strong>in</strong>g a mover for<br />

your mov<strong>in</strong>g. Their answer should be related to the weight and miles. Also,<br />

ask for a full written description of potential charges and services covered by<br />

your contract. If you get an unclear answer regard<strong>in</strong>g this, f<strong>in</strong>d another mover.<br />

What payment methods does the mover accept?<br />

You want the answer to this to be all payment methods. We live <strong>in</strong> a high tech<br />

world nowadays, and there should be no excuse for any organization to accept
