There is a major difference between the way the moving companies think and the way I think. I have to move. I don’t have a choice. It’s a do or die situation for me. Believe me if I didn’t have to move I wouldn’t even think of it. The moving companies are trying to make money, as much as they can. It’s not like I move every day and look for moving companies every day, so they feel if they gouge me a little it’s not important. A customer for the moving companies is a one time guy, we’ll never see him again. Let’s get him. They have a limit, of course and that is the prices quoted by the other moving companies, and there are hundreds of them.
Then they have all these fancy papers they ask you to sign. Release forms, indemnity forms, waiver of lien forms and forms and forms and forms. Got all your goods? Sign here! Have you filled out the inventory sheet? Okay now sign it! You have to go out? Who is your authorized representative while you are away? Fill his name in here! Sign it! These moving companies have got you covered, wall-to-wall
