What to research before choosing a mover

Moving decisions are easier when you know what you are comparing. Use the guides below to understand estimates, verify provider identity, prepare an inventory and recognize warning signs before you request or accept a quote.

Mover verification

Moving day

A better way to compare moving services

Two quotes can look similar while describing very different work. Compare the inventory, packing, access conditions, pickup and delivery timing, storage needs, payment terms and valuation coverage—not only the advertised total.

Before requesting quotes

  • Write down large and unusual items.
  • Measure difficult furniture when access is uncertain.
  • Check parking, elevator and building rules.
  • Choose realistic pickup and delivery dates.

Before signing

  • Match the legal company name across documents.
  • Ask who is the carrier and who is the broker, if applicable.
  • Understand estimate terms and possible additional charges.
  • Save copies of every document and payment record.
