Complaints
Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the mover has a number of complaints filed against them.
Place of Business
Verify the mover has a legitimate place of business
Estimates
Movers should provide you with a written estimate that includes a breakdown of all fees. They should also be able to provide you with a signed Order of Service that includes dates for loading and delivery.
Employees
Movers should carry Worker's Compensation insurance for all employees. Employees should not speak negatively against other moving companies or use high pressure tactics to close a sale
