If there is one thing you learn from this blog – I ask that it be this – just say NO to internet brokers. I just met another victim of these horrendous industry leeches. More often then not, they are much of the reason our industry currently has a bad name. They are the scary folks in our industry – or rather the ones that set you up with the scary folks. They will find you the lowest bidder – and the lowest bidder is often the one that will dramatically raise your price the day of the move and/or hold your items hostage. They also are most likely the ones to break your belongings with no accountability and even worse, possibly steal from you as well. Please, Please, Please do your own research for your own protection. Check out:

· Better Business Bureau – look for the one in your area/state

· www.movingscam.com

· American Moving & Storage Association – www.moving.org

· The local move regulatory body – in Colorado this is the Public Utilities Commission

· Department of Transportation (DOT) (if long haul move)
