MIAMI MOVERS – Figuring Out How To Pick A Mover

Thinking about a possible move? Moving is a big deal. Make the improper decision & you might be sorry for a long period of time. A few things to consider:

License & Insurance:

Check to make sure that you pick a mover that is licenced and insured. Each moving company is required to be licensed & insured – it’s required by law. License and insurance type they must carry varies depending on the state the business is located in.

Place of Business:

Check to make sure that the moving company you pick has a physical location & that it actually exists. Having the company’s physical location is key if it’s necessary to file a grievance. Be careful when dealing with a moving company that doesn’t have an actual address.

The Salesman:

Ask if the moving company is a moving company or a broker. A broker isn’t a moving company, they are a third party that brings together you the shipper with a moving company & charges you a fee. They do not work for the moving company they just provide the mover with the interested potential customer. You have no idea who is going to actually be doing the move.
