My time spent at a few Boston moving companies has taught me what it takes to be not only a successful but a reputable moving company as well. The internet is riddled with stories of consumers being taken advantage of and quite literally scammed by less than reputable moving companies or people that say they are a moving company.
In some cases, people go on to the internet to get a quote to only find out that the "company" is only a website and they farm out the job to another company, loosing total control of the move and the costs. Bad idea.
When you are looking for a reputable moving company be sure to consider their results, customer relations and team of employees. Be sure the storage and moving company you choose is in good standing with the Better Business Bureau, read on-line reviews and be certain the have the American Moving and Storage Association's ProMover Seal. Also, talk with friends, family and colleagues to get their opinions on movers they have used. The internet is also a great resource where you can read reviews and experiences on different sites but as I said, be careful on the internet.
Check out www.movingscam.com They have a lot of valuable information on how to find the best moving company in Boston or any other place in the country.
Tour the moving company; I know this can take time but make sure they have a physical location and that they are clean and well-organized.
Moving to a new area is stressful and packing up and transporting your precious belongings can be nerve-wracking. Be sure to do a little research to find a reputable and experienced moving company, who will meet your unique needs and make the moving process an easy one for you. A solid moving company should conduct an in-home visual inspection of your goods to assess the weight to generate a proper estimate and evaluate other factors like parking, truck access and permits to make your moving experience as smooth and calm as possible.
