Helpful guides
Know your estimate type.
With a non-binding estimate, a mover can't make you pay more than 110% at delivery.
Default protection is tiny.
It pays 60 cents a pound. A $1,000 TV could get you $6. Ask about full value protection.
Stairs and long walks add cost.
Tell the mover about them up front.
Check the USDOT number.
Movers who cross state lines must have one. Look it up on FMCSA's website.
Get it in writing, after they see your stuff.
Phone estimates without a look are a red flag.
Never pay a big deposit.
A demand for cash or a large deposit is a classic scam sign.
You have 9 months to file a damage claim.
For interstate moves, the mover must acknowledge it within 30 days.
Tipping is optional.
Common guidance is about $4 to $15 per mover per hour.
