How do I find a moving company I can trust?

Question: How do I find a moving company I can trust?
Answer:

Leaving all your worldly possessions in the hands of strangers could be one of the hardest things you do; after all, what we own and what we choose to move says a lot about who we are and what is important to us. So to make sure your things will arrive safely:

  1. Check out the company's background
  2. Ask the right questions; and
  3. Look for suspicious behavior.
  4. Finally, and most importantly, listen to yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, or something just doesn't feel right, then don't sign the contract.
