KNOW YOUR RIGHTS:

Before hiring a moving company it is essential that you are aware of your rights, what types of oversight the moving industry is subject to, and to qualify your mover BEFORE you sign a contract or make any type of financial commitment.

"Before 1995, the Interstate Commerce Commission regulated interstate movers, but since then the industry has been largely unregulated with virtually no oversight. Abuses are common, and it’s been estimated that 50% of all moves cost the consumer unanticipated expense, time, as well as lost or damaged goods. Recompense may be impossible."
