Finding the right moving company

May 2, 2012 - For those moving in the next few months, there are many different moving companies to work through. However, the Better Business Bureau has issued a few tips for people trying to find the best one for their situation.

The first step is to make sure a company is reputable by researching them online, either through the BBB or other sources. Virtually every company has dealt with complaints at one point or another, but seeing how they have been handled can help consumers find trustworthy companies.

"Finding a mover you can trust can be easy, if you take the time to do so," said Rod Davis, senior vice president with the Council of Better Business Bureaus.

The BBB also suggests consumers get quotes from multiple moving companies in order to make sure they get the most reliable service for the best price.

This type of research can help many times through the years. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that over their lifetimes, the average person ends up moving nearly 12 times.
