Need a shipper? What if you could find
Shipping and moving services you can trust
@ prices you'll love!
Hmm, that sounds like a moving day dream!
Why not have
shipping companies compete so that YOU get the
best possible price when you are shipping household
goods, pets, vehicles and more? Find
QUALITY and yet "cheap" movers.
Shipping
and
moving
is a lot of work and while some of us are quick
to take on that responsibility as a "do it yourself
type", others would rather have someone else
do the "heavy lifting."
Plus there are the "special needs" for moving
and shipping that you have to consider...for
instance, how do you best move your boat, motorcycle
or RV when you are already spread thin transporting
two cars full of your household goods?
Then of course there's your pets, your plants,
your piano, woodworking equipment, welder, and
various other "junk" that you have accumulated
and want to move with you. Some of which
have special moving requirements that may well
be beyond your ability or at least beyond your
expertise, time and patience level.
How about Moving Van lines Scams
and rip-offs?
Will some movers
scam you, take your money and break your household
goods? Well, let me ask you: Is any profession
free of degenerates? I'm confident that
it's not news to you that in any given profession,
you'll find people who will take advantage of
you. Car salesmen are often the least
trusted people in America, followed by stockbrokers,
real estate agents, insurance agents, and mechanics.
Now personally, I know trusted men and women
in all of those professions, yet like the old
saying goes, "there are a few bad apples in
every bunch." And that is true, and those
few "bad apples in the moving companies give
a black-eye to the honest hardworking men and
women who are trying to do good solid work.
Personally I have used a number of shipping
companies to ship pallet loads of products with
no real problems. UPS and FedEx are very
good as well as a number of other US freight
companies and international movers too.
Yes, things can get broken - no matter how much
wrapping paper you use and how much tape
you apply to the box - and while that's
unfortunate, the ultimate issue is "will they
make it right?"
The testimonies and descriptions of
moving day bad experiences usually sound like
this:
-
BEWARE...of "XYZ" Moving
Van Lines...
-
My move was an absolute nightmare.
-
I was overcharged and lied to
-
NUMEROUS broken items
-
I
was told "they are not responsible
for how my items arrive, only
that they get here"
-
The insurance applies to only
boxes that they pack, which
in my case was only 29 boxes.
-
I received boxes ripped open,
gone through and damaged.
-
They denied any responsibility
-
After making a payment upfront,
I had a problem on the day of
the move and no one would help
me.

Tips
to avoid bad experiences when you
relocate?
-
REALIZE scam artists
are professionals - everyone
is a potential victim.
-
ASK for references and
call them. Be VERY diligent
in checking out the company
- simply do not take their word
alone.
-
GET several estimates
and compare prices.
-
TALK with a trusted friend
or relative before making this
decision.
-
BE SUSPICIOUS of high
pressure sales tactics.
-
PAY BY CHECK so you can
stop payment if dissatisfied;
NEVER PAY CASH.
-
PRINT "Deposit Only"
on the back of personal checks
to create a "paper trail".
-
BE SURE the work is completed
to your satisfaction before
you make final payment.
-
REQUIRE a guarantee on
the work. BE SURE
you understand and agree to
all provisions in a contract
or agreement.
-
CONTACT your homeowners
insurance carrier and see if
they will insure any lost items
- if not, check with other independent
insurers - (some insurance companies
may have recommendations for
movers)
-
CHECK the Better Business
Bureau to see if complaints
have been filed against the
person or business you are considering.

A
Shipper Recommendation:
I recently came across a couple
of sites that create a bidding system so that
YOUR relocation needs can be fulfilled in the
way that you want it and at the cost that is
to your linking. If you are at all like me,
you like to know that you getting a good deal...you
may choose to go as low budget as you can or
even choose to go "all out" and spend some extra
and have all your relocation needs covered,
but either way, it's nice to know that YOU are
getting exactly what YOU need. You'll find that
information below.
If you want to do
it yourself - Truck Rentals are a must for moving.
