Newport News Moving Company Urges Families to Protect Themselves against Moving Fraud
NEWPORT NEWS, VA, USA, August 23, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Moving fraud is a major issue across the country, sometimes costing families everything they own. Virginia Transfer & Storage Co. recommends investigating a moving company’s reputation in the community before hiring them.
Moving fraud is a real concern for the millions of Americans who set out to move to a new location. Over the last few years, as the economy slowly improves, many families have moved to find work or combine households with other struggling family members. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous moving companies that attempt to get away with the possessions or money of the same people they are hired to help.
The Virginia Movers & Warehousemen’s Association offers consumers information and tips on how to choose the best possible mover and protect themselves against moving fraud. They have guidelines listed for how a consumer can set up a successful move. One of the guidelines they stress is for consumers to spend time finding out as much as possible about a moving company before hiring them. The association has found that many people simply choose the first moving company they find online, or the company that offers the lowest price. This is not always the best way, but typically the most convenient for people in a rush.
The old fashioned word of mouth referral still brings in plenty of business for one dedicated set of movers in Newport News. Virginia Transfer & Storage Co., a Newport News moving company, has been serving the community for decades. While they are available to find online, the company feels that it is their reputation in the local community that drives the most business to them. In addition to their many satisfied residential customers, the moving company has worked with reputable agencies like Christie’s Auction House and Sotheby’s Antiquity Auction House. This has helped to bolster their reputation as the leading moving company in Newport News.
In addition to residential moving services, Virginia Transfer & Storage Co. offers commercial moving and retirement community moves. Visit them online at www.movingservice-va.com/.
