Although the number of moving scams seems to have been on the increase over the course of the past decade, thanks to the internet it has become much easier to verify the integrity of the various movers offering you their services. If you will be moving into or out of Downington, PA you would be advised to use the web to verify membership in organizations like the Better Business Bureau, the International Association of Movers, the local Chamber of Commerce, and the American Moving and Storage Association. Top-quality Downington movers, like L&J Transportation will display these logos on their website to demonstrate their reputation.
Contact the Downington Movers You Are Interested In Once you have completed your web search, take the time to call the companies you are considering. Be wary of any that answer their phone without identifying the company you are calling (i.e., if they answer, "Moving Company" instead of something like "L&J Transportation").
Beware of any company that wants to charge you for an estimate; this should be seen as a good indication you are being scammed. Reputable moving companies always offer free quotes as this is considered standard practice and an excellent way to build a rapport with the person looking to move their household goods.
Be Confident It is essential for you to give the moving company as much information as possible up front. This will help them to provide you with an accurate estimate that is easy to understand. When calling the various Downington movers, ask for information about pricing. Do they charge by the mile, weight, and the amount of space your load takes up in the truck? Are there extra charges for things like narrow roads or steep hills that require several smaller trucks rather than one large one or multiple trips? Keep in mind that anything you add to the load after the estimate is written is likely to add extra charges. You don't pay the bill until your move is complete. If the movers want to be paid up front, they may be trying to scam you.
Be Aware of Liability After you have decided who is going to do the packing, you or the furniture movers you hire, it is vital that you understand who will be liable for any damage to your household goods that occur during the move with both options. A reputable moving company is one that offers full service for those who desire it. At L&J Transportation, we are proud to offer a full range of services including packing, transportation, unpacking, and storage, if needed. One last thing, Federal law requires all moving companies to provide you with the "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" pamphlet during your first in-person meeting. If the Downington movers you are considering do not provide this, move on. If you are facing an upcoming move in the Downington area, trust the local experts at L&J Transportation.
