Which Websites Should I Check Before My Move?
It’s very easy to blame your moving company for any troubles that occur, but you as a customer have the responsibility to do background checks on the moving company you’re going to choose.
See below a list of websites you should visit before booking with one of the moving companies out there.
Better Business Bureau
The BBB website helps people find recommended businesses or write complaints about businesses whose services they used in the past. It makes it easy to find trustworthy brands, charities, and businesses. Visit www.bbb.org.
FMCSA
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a government official website, provides priceless information on how to protect your move.
Texas - DMV
Texas Department of Motor Vehicles - A government official website to visit if you're moving in or out of the state of Texas, or if you're planning to use movers registered in Texas.
Moving Scam
Go online to movingscam.com and check if your chosen moving company has ever been mentioned in a scam. Bad experiences of others can save you a lot of trouble.
USPS
Visit the USPS website and change your address — it's very important. Don't leave behind important bills or personal letters at your old address.
Moving Insurance
Looking to protect your valuables beyond the standard 60 cents per pound that moving companies offer? Search online for moving insurance to secure better coverage for your belongings.
Packaging Materials Suppliers
Why not save up to 20% on your moving costs? Buy packaging materials in advance and don't get overcharged when movers offer to sell them to you.
