Reasons to File a Complaint Against a Moving Company
You might pause before filing a and wonder if your reasons for filing a complaint are good enough to move forward. This isn't unusual. Here are some reasons that others have filed complaints against moving companies:
-
Rude Words or Actions

-
Damaged Items
You love your furniture and personal items and expect the moving company to take good care of them for you during the moving process. However, this doesn't always happen. You might find that the moving company won't offer you compensation to cover the replacement of these items.
-
Movers Arrive Late on Moving Day
It takes a lot of work and effort to move, and you planned for it. You might need to catch a flight to your new home city after the movers finish. If the movers are late, and it becomes too late you might face financial penalties from your apartment complex or the new homeowners.
Here’s an overview of all the legitimate complaints you can pursue. First to the company, then to the authorities.
| When the Contract is Breached | Look over the terms of your contract. Charges, quality service, and changes in a plan outside of this are legally actionable and a violation of your contract. |
| When the Company Policy is Violated | Sometimes, one moving person or driver is a bad apple. They might demand you pay cash or extra fees - outside the company policy. |
| When You've Been Lied to, Scammed, or Defrauded | Any time you've been told one thing and experienced another in a way that was majorly disadvantageous. For example, you were told that Bailey Moving and Storage services would not contract out, and contracted strangers arrive at your destination. |
| When Your Items Have Been Stolen | When items on your Bill of Lading have disappeared in the move. |
| Failure to Honor Insurance | If you were sold fake insurance or promised the trip was insured when it was not. |
| When There is Extensive Damage | When your items have been extensively damaged, not just scuffed a little, or when many items sustain damage. |
| Clear Improper Procedure | When your movers don't even try to use best practices like protecting fragile boxes, or they stack heavy on light, or stack furniture on boxes, or don't tie-down, or don't pad furniture. |
