Being the victim of a moving scam will undoubtedly make the
already challenging task of moving even more difficult.
When choosing a moving company, you should always be careful and
well-informed about your choice. So, in this article, we've given you some
advice on how to spot and avoid potential moving scams.
To make sure you have the best experience possible while hiring
movers, we've also included some useful advice.
What is the question you should ask from a moving company?
1. They are not authorized (Licensed)
To provide local residential moving services, moving businesses
specifically need a particular type of moving trade license in Dubai.
2. There Don’t have a website
A moving company is either relatively new or may be attempting
to remain anonymous if it doesn't have a website. These days, you ought likely
to have no trouble finding moving companies with websites and a solid local
reputation.
3. They Demand A Significant Deposit
Residential local movers typically just request a very small
deposit (30%) or none at all for their moves. Additionally, movers should not
request a deposit if you are moving across state lines or moving later for
booking.
4. They Have An Inconclusive Lower Moving Estimate
When you receive your moving estimate, some will be marginally
more expensive than others, but for the most part, they'll all be roughly
comparable. One estimate may not have taken into account all the services you
require if it is exceptionally low. Sometimes businesses may purposely underbid
your move to get you to hire them, then they'll tack on extra costs you weren't
aware of later.
5. They Don't Provide a Detailed Moving Estimate
Again, a moving company that gives you a vague estimate may be
trying to underbid your move so you'll hire them, then they'll tack on extra
costs you weren't aware of afterward.
6. They Use Several Names
Moving firms occasionally go by several aliases or use ambiguous
names. Be cautious and reconsider making a reservation with them if it's a
little difficult to figure out who they are.
7. They Have Negative Reviews
Negative ratings could simply indicate that they are not
offering excellent services. However, because they have been defrauding
clients, the reviews can occasionally be negative. Always make sure to read and
verify the moving firms' evaluations before hiring them.
