Things to Consider:
Red Flags for Spotting Rogue Movers
Rogue movers often work by never visiting your place of business or examining the cargo you wish moved, and
giving a low estimate over the phone or web. Once your business' goods and assets are in their truck, they demand
more money before they will deliver or unload them. They can hold your goods captive and compel you to pay more
sometimes a substantially more than you thought that you had agreed to if you want your possessions back.
Your company needs to be familiar with rogue mover techniques before they have packed up your company's property.
Here are some "red flags" to look out for:
The mover does not offer or agree to an on-site inspection of your business assets and goods. In addition,
they give an estimate over the phone or over the web. These quotes often seem too good to be true.
The moving company id requiring cash or a large deposit before they will move your company.
The mover neglects to provide you with a copy of
Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move". Movers are required by Federal regulations to supply their
customers with this document during the preparation stages of interstate moves.
The moving company's website has no local address, and/or no information about licensing or insurance.
The mover claims all goods and property are covered by their insurance.
When you call the mover, the telephone is answered with "Movers" or "Moving Company," rather than the specific
company's name.
Offices and warehouse are in poor condition or they me even be nonexistent.
On moving day, instead of a company-owned and marked fleet truck or van, a rental truck arrives.
