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.

Moving Tips & Guides

Avoiding Moving Scams explained in our moving guide

Avoiding Moving Scams – What Every Customer Should Know

Protect Yourself from Dishonest Movers

Unfortunately, not every moving company is trustworthy. Hidden fees, missing items, or no-show movers can turn your move into a nightmare. At iBox Moving, we believe in full transparency — and we want to help you avoid scams.

1. Check Licensing and Insurance

Legit movers should have a USDOT number for interstate moves and a CAL-T license in California. They should also carry liability and cargo insurance. No license = red flag.

2. Beware of Large Deposits

Most reputable movers won’t ask for a big deposit upfront. If a company demands full payment before the move, it could be a scam. Pay by credit card if possible for added protection.

3. Watch Out for Too-Good-To-Be-True Quotes

Extremely low prices might mean hidden fees later. Always ask for a written estimate that includes labor, fuel, materials, and time.

4. Look at Reviews and Complaints

Search for the company on Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Consistent negative reviews or missing information online are signs to avoid.

5. Get a Written Contract

A verbal agreement is not enough. A reliable mover will provide a detailed agreement — including pickup and delivery dates, services included, and cancellation terms.

6. Never Sign Blank or Incomplete Documents

Read everything before signing. If the document is missing details or has blank spaces, don’t sign it — it could be changed later without your consent.

FAQ

How To Prepare answered by iBox Moving experts

How to Prepare for Your Move – FAQs from iBox Moving

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.

What If I'm Not Fully Ready?

No problem — just let us know. We can help with packing, furniture disassembly, and more. It may affect timing, but we’ll make it work.
