Finally, you can check any licensed interstate household goods carrier or move brokers service history at the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration' customer complaint database at their Protect Your Move website. Be sure to read Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move in the left sidebar. Where are you moving from and to? Not sure yet, but looks like from the Midwest where it's cold alot--and lacking sun about 6 months of the year--to sunny, hot, dry Arizona. Thank you for the links!!! , it seems that it is each individual moving company that sub-contracts to the major organizations that you have to judge (which is really hard to do as people just put the individual company under the major organization umbrella, like United or Mayflower or Atlas ). So, one sub-contractor that works for, say, United, could be excellent and give great service and another one stinks, steals your stuff and lies to the customers. It really can be a crapshoot often. ***I can tell you that I used Wald Mayflower Relocation Services moving from Houston to Chicago, and had a negative experience: stolen items, manager lied to me about storing my things there for a year then called and insisted I get my stuff after about 2 months (which put me in a terrible position) and other complaints.

However, in fairness to Mayflower itself, maybe this is just one bad apple in their bunch. Do NOT use Wald Relocation Services--which is one of Wald's companies billing itself as "Wald Mayflower" I think--in Houston at all. Get on the net and do your research first on any company you use. --I would have found Wald is complained about alot.

As far as the movers are concerned, they're all about the same. The supervisor or driver or moving manager will drive down to skid row and look for three sober guys to help him out. Comforting thought, especially when you realize these are the guys that will be moving your (wife's) underwear drawer. Originally Posted by RikkiTikki Thank you for that.
