From Better Business Bureau:


  • Members of the BBB
  • Original Business Start Date: May 1980
  • Number of complaints processed in the last 36 months: 2.
    Complaints issues: Credit or Billing Disputes (1), and Service Issues (1). The complaints were mostly resolved.

    From other sources:
    • MovingScam.com: mentioned but no other information.
    • ConsumerAffairs.com: no mentioning of that company on ConsumerAffairs.com
    • RipOffReport.com: no mentioning of that company on RipOffReport.com

    • MoverReviews.com: no mentioning of that company on MoverReviews.com
    • Other Sources: ProtectYourMove.gov: one complaint with the National Consumer Complaint Database (NCCDB).

    Summary:

    We would recommend using this company. Despite the few complaints they had with the BBB and NCCDB this company is very long time in business, family run, and has large fleet of their own local and long distance trucks.

    To stay on a safe side follow the guidelines in our Moving Guide regarding closing deals with movers and understanding your estimate, and make sure you insist on having an on-site visual and getting a binding estimate (but that should be done regardless of who you choose for your move), and insure your valuable items on MovingInsurance.com.




    Good luck with your move,
