𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:

The Moving Scams have STARTED. I received a few calls from distressed customers today. The overseas scammers are impersonating our business on top of the local movers using our name as keywords -Reliable Movers LLC

Overseas scammers, rogue movers, fake websites, stolen DOT numbers, business ID theft, and hostage shipments are some of the things to think about and look for when searching for a mover. I have made a list of helpful tips when inquiring with ANY mover local or interstate.

𝟏. 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐩𝐩, 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐂𝐇 (𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤).

2. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS. There are no $1999.00 movers going from NY to Florida. It is a broker scam. If the broker states he is from New Jersey or Florida HANG UP THE PHONE. Overseas scammers all say they are from New Jersey/Florida. They will collect your deposit by bank card or ACH and you will never see a mover.

3. Ask if the company you are speaking to is a broker or a mover. Brokers sell your job. By the time you get a mover your job has been sold to up to 10 different movers. Which means the mover that arrives (if they ever arrive) at your house bought your job for pennies and will look for every opportunity to charge you extra. Which includes weight bumping.

4. Ask for a binding estimate. This guarantees your price in writing. A weight estimate can double or triple in price. You want a guaranteed price from A to B.

𝟓. 𝐃𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬. 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝. 𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝟓 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬. 𝐀𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

6. If a mover bids your price by cubic feet HANG UP THE PHONE. That is a broker.

7. MAKE SURE YOUR MOVER IS LICENSED FOR HHG GOODS MOVING. GO TO :

https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/CompanySnapshot.aspx TYPE IN YOUR MOVERS DOT NUMBERS. LOOK FOR ACTIVE, AUTHORIZED FOR HHG IN THE COMPANY SNAPSHOT.

Do you know the 10 most important questions to ask before hiring an interstate moving company?

Not all moving companies are actually movers. Some are brokers who collect your deposit and sell your move to another company.

Before hiring an interstate mover, do you know:

Who will actually pick up and deliver your belongings?

Is your estimate binding, or can the price increase?

Are there hidden fees for stairs, long walks, or shuttles?

When will your furniture actually arrive?

Is the company properly licensed and insured?

At Reliable Movers, we've been in business since 1996 and performing interstate moves since 2007.

It's our guys, our trucks, and our responsibility from pickup to delivery. No brokers, no subcontractors, and no surprise charges.

We've put together an article answering 10 important questions every customer should ask before signing a moving contract.

In Loving Memory of Our Beloved Gino
2014 – October 27, 2026

On October 27, 2026, we said our final goodbye to our beloved Gino.

Gino came into our lives as a rescue. Little did we know how much this beautiful soul would change our lives.

For the past 12 years, Gino was by our side every single day. He wasn't just our dog. He was our child, our best friend, our traveling companion, and a part of everything we did.

Anyone who knew Gino knew he was part of Reliable Movers. He traveled with us in the moving trucks, accompanying us on countless moves throughout New York and across the country.

During COVID, when the world seemed to stop, we were still on the road, helping families relocate from New York to the South. We practically lived in our moving trucks during that time, and Gino was right there with us, mile after mile.

Over the years, Gino met hundreds of people along the way. He played with children while we unloaded moving trucks, brought smiles to customers during stressful moving days, and offered comfort to people who were grieving the loss of a loved one or going through difficult changes in their lives.

Somehow, Gino always seemed to know when someone needed a little extra love.

He never asked for anything in return. He simply gave love, companionship, and happiness to everyone he met.

To many, he may have been just a dog riding along in a moving truck. But to us, he was our whole world.

Gino was there through the long days, the exhausting nights, the thousands of miles, the good times, and the difficult ones. No matter where the road took us, as long as Gino was with us, we were home.

Our trucks will never feel the same without him. The roads will seem a little longer, and there will forever be an empty space beside us.

We want to thank everyone who ever stopped to pet Gino, played with him, gave him a treat, or simply smiled when they saw him. You were all a part of his wonderful life.

Rest in peace, our beautiful boy.

Thank you for rescuing us as much as we rescued you. Thank you for the unconditional love, the memories, and the years we were blessed to have you.

You were never just our dog. You were our child, our family, and our heart.

We love you, Gino. We always will.

Until we meet again, our sweet boy.

Love,
Mom & Dad
Mike & Jen

🚛 Blast from the Past — 2020! 🇺🇸

Right in the middle of COVID, Reliable Movers was running nonstop! We were taking 3–5 shipments at a time down South, working 7 days a week just to keep up.

Mike and crew just finished loading TWO tractor-trailers, and off we went, Smokey and the Bandit style! 🚛💨

Six delivery stops — one in North Carolina, one in South Carolina, and FOUR in Florida!

COVID may have shut down much of the country, but it sure didn't slow down Reliable Movers! Those were some crazy days, long hours, and a whole lot of miles on the road!

Just another chapter in the nearly 30-year history of our family-owned moving company! ❤️
