Don't Be a Victim!

Don’t be a victim of unprofessional movers, sometimes called rogue movers. Here are some things you can do to make sure you are dealing with a professional, licensed, and fully insured moving company:

• Get a cost estimate in writing before you hire a mover. A walk-through of your home or office is the most accurate way of getting a realistic quote.

• Don’t forget that the lowest bid may not always be the best bid. Unethical movers often increase their prices by adding charges for such things as wrapping breakables or using padded blankets. We provide these services free of charge.

• Rogue movers often use the internet to gain business by using moving brokers that offer to connect you to a moving company.

• Ask for references: previous customers that you can call and speak with.

• If you have doubts about your mover being legitimate, don’t hesitate to ask questions. Your mover should have displayed on his truck(s) his North Carolina Utilities Commission number (sometimes called a C number). This number is issued only to companies that are certified and licensed by the state of North Carolina to operate a moving company.

• Your mover should also be able to provide you with insurance information if requested.
