I've also read on a new project, the <a title=" " href="http://www.moverswatch.com">Movers Watch</a> that should run soon on that website and will be completely objective and will have reviews written in it from real people that would have to proove they actually used the services and the moving companies can respond to every complain. Hope to see it running soon. In the mean time I'd suggest ignoring MovingScam.com.

Another tip I have for you guys is to check prices with FED-EX or UPS if you're only moving 1-2 items since you can get a much better deal than with a moving company.

Don't move stuff that would cost very little to replace- in the past, my friends and I have rented moving vans and stuffed it with $10 sets of corel plates, $2 hangers, $3 plastic dish drying racks, $15 rugs and $25 book shelves. The total value of the stuff was less than the cost of the rental truck +gas...so they would have saved money if they just donated that stuff/sold it cheap and then replace it all later... My tip?
