What’s the best way to prevent getting ripped off by movers?
By being an informed customer and being prepared, knowing how moving services operate, what to look for, what questions to ask, what’s a no no, and what’s acceptable or ok. These are thing that could help you avoid being ripped off by movers. Even though that’s no guarantee, they (rouge/ scam movers) devise knew tricks everyday, so you have to be on the look out. But again, the #1 way to avoid being ripped off is by using movers who was referred by someone you know and can trust, that used that service several times before, and is still satisfied with their service. This might be a bit difficult to do, but it’s the best way to avoid moving day headaches, and paying for a service you never get, also consider movers who are members of AMSA (American Moving and Storage Association).
