Consumer Report: Security Moving & Storage, USDOT #
Security Moving & Storage, USDOT#1263876
Safety Of Use Rating: F
(0.00%, STAY AWAY - see how we calculate SOUR)
From their website :
The company seems to have 3 offices, one in NJ, one in CT and one in NYC.
From Safersys.org:
Safersys.org reveals the following information:
This company has two BBB files, one in NJ and another in CT. We will use information in both those files.
Summary:
This company is a mystery to me. They managed to create so much negative PR with only one truck? And why having 3 offices in different states?
In any case, I would recommend staying away from this company. It simply had a terrible consumer record.
I would recommend you to do some more shopping around to see what other companies have to offer. You can get few quotes from several long distance movers right here. In any case, never book with a company that did not perform a visual estimate in your house and did not give you a flat price for your move.

Good luck with your move,
