Being happy when purchasing a new house is one thing but the mere thought of moving the contents from your old house to that dream house of yours can be quite frustrating. Furthermore, in this dog eat dog world, customers are susceptible to scams. So before we become “lunch”, it’s wise if we are aware of common scams that even national moving companies might unleash upon us, customers. The most common scam is when the company gives a rough estimation and then ships your items to the designated location only to add on extra charges on the way. Then, the moving company will hold back your items and only return it to you once you agree to pay the price they insist upon. This is similar to keeping “hostages” in view of kidnapping. There are also moving companies who lure you to them by enticing you with a very low price only to jack up the price at they very last minute which is most probably during when the items are on delivery. There are some moving companies who give quotation based on the weight of items first. However when the items are on the moving truck, the moving company changes the quotation to the space occupied by the items. This is of course more expensive as the charges are based on cubic metres. So the important reminder here is that there is no such thing as free lunch in this world. The worst scam of all is when the moving company demands for payment when the items are being delivered. Once the customer pays up, the moving company disappears with the customer’s items. If lady luck smiles upon the deceived, the customer might find the items abandoned somewhere or else the items could be sold off in the black market. To avoid such scams, here are some hints. Reliable national moving companies provide on site estimates which is then confirmed in an agreement between the two parties involved. Customers should also check the existence of the moving company by checking the address. It is also advisable to get quotations from three or more moving companies similar to getting second opinions from different doctors. A tell tale sign of a fraudulent moving company is through the moving company’s complaint history. At the end, I'd like to share cool website with more information on topics like movers new york and movers nyc . Visit for more details.
