All moving companies are not created equal. We made this discovery when moving from a rural community, where the choice of cross-country movers was extremely limited, to the opposite side of the continent. In the end, we did manage to get our damaged goods back, but it took the police, an enthusiastic television crew and our determined efforts to do it - a situation no one should experience.

So look for these signs of a rogue mover and make sure your household goods arrive safely at your new home.
