Why go to the trouble of phoning a Los Angeles mover when you can get a moving quote online? You only want to know the cost and you don't want to hear a sales pitch. While many Los Angeles moving companies will be happy to accommodate you, investing a little more care in choosing your mover can avoid future headaches. Consider and be cautious of the following:
- Consumer Complaints
Due to the fact that many people have complained to the California Public Utilities Commission because they were charged more than their price quote, the PUC has made it illegal for moving companies to give firm moving quotes unless they have actually visited the premises of the person or business being moved.
- Misrepresentation
Most of the companies that appear at the top when running a search for movers Los Angeles, moving Los Angeles, LA movers or various combinations of these search terms are actually brokers who are selling leads to moving companies. Your inquiry may bring responses from one or more companies with names different from the one you thought you were contacting.
- Incomplete Information
A common misconception among those who are moving is that they only need to list their larger items such as sofas and beds to receive a quote. In fact it is the smaller, miscellaneous items contributing the most to the length of a move. In addition, the access to and from your current and new residence will affect the time required.
