Moving can be an emotional strain for most of us because it disturbs our lives, disrupts our relations and is a huge drain on our finances too. But then, one can never stop moving, right! Moving is a detail-oriented event that can be very stressful, even when things go as planned. You can help to reduce the possibility of encountering problems during your move by thoroughly planning ahead. You will be more likely to have a safer, easier, and more cost effective transition into your new home if you take time to use resources to educate yourself on the moving process before searching for a professional mover that suits your needs. Now that you have assessed your needs it is time to find a mover. Who is a good mover? The one who quotes least estimate amount or the one who delivers your goods in a responsible manner! A certain amount of apprehensiveness is likely to bother you, once you have started looking for movers. You don't know the 'best' mover around and don't know whose guidance to take. You search the web, request quotes but still are fearful. If necessary, you may even seek the consultation of a professional consultant in this regard. This is a good idea! Mover fraud is a statistically minor occurrence .0018% A recent government report stated that only 3,000 of the approximately 1.6 million professional interstate moves each year result in complaints to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Consumers have the most risk of becoming victims of fraud when they use only the Internet to find their mover and then decide which mover to hire based solely on cost. Unscrupulous moving companies and moving brokers are often Internet-based because this makes it more difficult to track them down when a problem arises. Consumers should investigate movers' service records and reputations. Make sure to get a visual survey and obtain all the estimates in writing which is what your payment upon delivery should be based on. A customer hired a moving company to transport his household goods from Florida to California for $3,600. After the company finished loading the shipment, it violated federal regulations by demanding that the customer pays $7,000 before it would agree to complete delivery. The customer refused to pay the inflated price and the company responded by placing the shipment in a California warehouse. The situation grew more complex when the company was purchased by another organization. The new company demanded that the customer pay the inflated price within one month or it would auction the shipment. Assistance Provided by MoveRescue The customer contacted MoveRescue, who advised him of his rights under the federal consumer protection regulations. MoveRescue contacted the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA"), and an FMCSA Special Agent contacted the company to demand that the shipment must be released upon the customer's payment of the original estimate price. The company complied, and MoveRescue arranged for a United Van Lines agent to pick up the shipment from the company's storage facility. Outcome: The customer's shipment was safely delivered to his residence.
