Moving can be stressful, and choosing the right moving company is a crucial part of the process. Unfortunately, the moving industry has its share of dishonest companies that prey on customers during this vulnerable time. These rogue movers can inflate prices, mishandle belongings, or even hold possessions hostage. At TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, we take pride in being a trusted and reputable moving company that puts customers first. Here's how we stand out and how you can protect yourself from moving scams.
Signs of a Dishonest Moving Company
To avoid falling victim to fraudulent movers, watch out for these warning signs:
- Unusually Low Estimates: If a quote seems too good to be true, it probably is. Dishonest movers often bait customers with lowball estimates, only to demand more money later.
- No Written Contract: A lack of documentation leaves room for unexpected charges and disputes.
- No Physical Address or Branding: Legitimate movers operate out of a verifiable office and maintain professional branding on their vehicles and materials.
- Unclear or Hidden Fees: Be wary of companies that won't clearly explain their pricing structure.
- Holding Items Hostage: Some unethical companies refuse to deliver your belongings unless you pay an inflated price.
