BBB Warns of 'Fly-By-Night' Movers

The Better Business Bureau has issued a warning about the dangers of hiring a moving company. Even with the COVID-19 pandemic, or perhaps because of people wanting to move to areas with lower concentrations of the virus, Americans are continuing to move about the country at a brisk pace.

 

The agency gets about 13,000 complaints and negative reviews about movers each year. BBB Investigator Don O'Brien says among the complaints are day-of-move price increases.

 

 

On the backside of the move, some companies demanded more money, and would basically hold belongings hostage unless the extra money was paid. Before hiring a moving company, O'Brien suggests you watch out for fly-by-night companies, be wary of unusual requests, get everything in writing, and keep an inventory of your belongings.
