When to Pay Movers

The answer to this frequently asked question really depends on the moving company that you hire. Local specialists, like Atlantic Relocation Systems, are more willing to personalize the moving experience for their clients. And, in almost every case, we are able to give a free in-house estimate that has a not-to-exceed price. Once the paperwork is processed, you will be assigned a single point of contact and a customer service agent will confirm the details for your move, following the process from pickup to delivery. We don’t require a deposit and take most forms of payments including cash or certified check once your items are delivered. If you’re unclear about the payment process, your project manager will be happy to walk you through the timeline.

Beware the Scams

Unfortunately, we live in a world of scams. And, the best protection against relocation scams is a well-informed consumer. Some of the ways you can be scammed by a disreputable moving company include:

• A requested deposit – Most reputable movers will not demand cash or a large deposit before you move. If you have to pay upfront, the warning bells should be ringing. Paying via credit card will help you fight fraudulent activity.
• Extra fees – If you are getting charged extra for issues that you can’t control, such as living on the second floor, start asking questions. These problems should have been covered prior to the move.

If you have any questions about your relocation process, the best thing to do is to contact your hired team. At Atlantic Relocation Systems, we work diligently to ensure that you are kept up to date on the details of your move and are more than happy to answer any questions you have along the way.
