Expedia Moving and Storage, USDOT#1602529

Safety Of Use Rating: NOT RATABLE
(see how we calculate SOUR)


This company is very young, in fact they had their authority granted less then a month ago.

From their website www.expediamovingandstorage.com:

  • This company is independent (not an agent for any major van lines).
  • Licensing information: US DOT #1602529, MC #592763
  • Contact Information:
    phones:
    201-867-4141
    address:
    not mentioned

  • Members of: AMSA

From Safersys.org:

Safersys.org reveals the following information:
  • Licensing info: US DOT #1602529, MC #592763
  • Trucks: 1.
  • Phones: (201) 867-4141
  • Office location: 4100 Westside Ave, North Bergen, NJ 07047
  • The information in the Safersys.org report indicates no problems with their license and insurance.
  • Inspections section shows no inspections
From Better Business Bureau:

This company is too young to have a BBB record.


From other sources:

  • MovingScam.com: no mentioning of that company on MovingScam.com, but they have many complaints on Express Moving & Storage (see below)
  • ConsumerAffairs.com: no mentioning of that company on ConsumerAffairs.com
  • RipOffReport.com: no mentioning of that company on RipOffReport.com
  • Complaints.com: no mentioning of that company on Complaints.com
  • Epinions.com: no mentioning of that company on Epinions.com
  • Other Sources: found this review on MoverRatings: http://www.moverreviews.com/review/00007719.asp. A big red flag. There is some evidence that this company is in fact a reincarnation of another company called Express Moving & Storage, a company with a very poor record that went out of business a while ago.

Summary:

We cannot rate this company since it is too young first of all, and second of all there is a strong suspicion that it is run by previous owners of Express Moving and Storage, in which case we would strongly recommend not to use it.

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,
