How to Check If a Moving Company Is Legit
Simple. Do your homework before you hand over your stuff.
First. Check reviews. Not just the five-stars, but the bad ones too. Look for patterns. If everyone’s saying “they were late” or “stuff got broken,” believe them.
Second. Licensing and insurance. In the US, movers need a license number. No license? No thanks.
Third. Clear pricing. If they avoid giving you a written estimate, that’s a red flag. No one likes surprise fees.
Fourth. Ask questions. Real companies give real answers. Not vague promises or “don’t worry, we got you.”
And finally. Trust your gut. If it feels sketchy, it probably is.

How to Compare Moving Companies in Los Angeles – Smart Tips from iBox Moving
Make the Right Choice for Your Move
With so many moving companies in Los Angeles, finding the right one can feel overwhelming. At iBox Moving, we’ve seen the best (and the worst) in the industry — here’s how to make a smart, confident choice.
1. Check Licensing and Insurance
Always confirm that the company is licensed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and has a valid USDOT number for interstate moves. Ask for proof of insurance — it protects you and your belongings.
2. Read Reviews from Real Customers
Look beyond star ratings. Read full reviews on Yelp, Google, and other platforms. Pay attention to how companies respond to complaints — that says a lot about their professionalism.
3. Compare What’s Included
Don’t just look at hourly rates. Ask what’s included: truck, equipment, mileage, wrapping, assembly, and disassembly. A lower rate may mean more hidden fees.
4. Get Transparent Quotes
Request a written quote and be clear about the services you need. Beware of movers who give vague estimates or refuse to put things in writing.
5. Ask the Right Questions
Are their movers employees or contractors? Do they charge for stairs or long carries? Are there cancellation fees? The more you know upfront, the fewer surprises on moving day.
6. Choose a Company that Communicates
Responsiveness matters. A good mover will be easy to reach, answer your questions clearly, and confirm everything in writing. Trust your instincts — if something feels off, keep looking.

How Should I Prepare for Moving Day?
Good preparation makes your move smoother, faster, and more stress-free. Whether you're packing yourself or using our services, a few simple steps can make a big difference.
General Prep Tips
- Finish Packing Before Movers Arrive: Have boxes taped, labeled, and ready to go (unless you’ve booked our packing service).
- Label Boxes Clearly: Indicate contents and destination room — e.g., “Kitchen – Fragile.”
- Reserve Elevators or Parking: If you live in an apartment or high-rise, notify building management ahead of time.
- Disconnect Appliances: Unplug washers, dryers, and refrigerators in advance.
- Secure Pets and Kids: Keep them safely out of the way during the move for their safety and the crew’s.
Furniture Prep
- Remove items from drawers to avoid shifting during transport
- Disassemble beds and desks ahead of time (if you prefer to save time)
- Take photos of complex setups (TV wiring, shelving, etc.) for easy reassembly
Valuables and Essentials
- Keep jewelry, cash, documents, and laptops with you
- Pack an “Essentials Box” with items you'll need right away — chargers, clothes, toiletries, etc.
